I’m terrible at system design interviews. Any suggestions for how to prepare?
Same here
Start here https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer/blob/master/README.md
The world will be full of system design experts now - oh god :)
Say caching and load balancer a lot
Also sharding, hot partitions, redundancy... You get the idea.

Worth the $
Hmm, might get it. I don’t need it, currently, but maybe if I get an itch to interview again... I don’t think I do that terribly on this type of interview, but I don’t feel very satisfied with my own answers. It is a good skill, in general, not just for interviews.
Same way that gets you to Carnegie Hall, practice!
How? These are open ended questions? I can design bit.ly to myself and think I know it.
