QAE to TPM transition in amazon

my manager wants her QA job to be done when i told her i am more interested towards TPM. she kept giving me QA tasks and said you have to be TT to move to a #tpm. this is like i want to measure you in science subject even when you say that you are interested in maths.. anyways i told her am leaving the team.. she said you are setting a wrong example as others also want to transition to TPM.. i started applying for teams for TPM. have 2 interviews lined up.. i need help with system design questions or any tech questions that i should brush up my knowledge on. can someone help me.. ? thanks in advance.

1. Read up on grokking the system design. You don't need the paid version there's a few chapters in the free version that should help. 2. Pick up a good playlist on YouTube for system design. Try to watch the entire playlist. Watch it again. Write stuff down that you don't get. 3. Write examples of situations you've been in to answer at interview, such as challenging situations and so on. 4. Screw your manager for not letting you pursue your passion and Good luck!
