How did you guys prepare for the system design interviews. I have gone through the grokking examples - what comes next ? TC - 60 LPA YOE - 11 #facebook #google #facebookinterview #googleinterview #systemdesign

Just cleared the L5 loop at G and E6 loop at FB. Waiting on offer numbers. I've listed resources I've used for design below - * My favourite resource - https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer#study-guide ** Try and solve the example problems on there on your own. Set a timer and do it in Google docs (+drawings) as that's the tool a lot of companies will use. ** Compare your solution with what's on there and argue for and against both approaches. ** Dig into each part of your solution and make sure you can justify your choices with advantages and disadvantages. * The only youtube channel I found helpful - https://www.youtube.com/c/SystemDesignInterview * I found all other youtube channels that I checked and that 'Grokking' course to be too high level and hand wavy. I'd consider them to be useless and avoid. Oh and I re-read Designing data intensive applications. It wasn't directly useful but knowing the internals of things and why different paradigms are useful made me better able to justify my choices in system design.
Thank you for taking the time to put this down ... v v helpful !
I had written this down for a friend yesterday. Just copy pasta-ed it. But I'll take the thanks :D

Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
Take a look at the book “data intense applications”. And currently I’m watching a course of MIT “Distributed systems”, you can find it on YouTube.
Is it MIT 6.824?
Appreciate the response ... I’ll check it out !
