Currently at Amazon (AWS) L5, PhD + 6 YOE I have a Google T5 SWE interview coming up in 2 weeks. I have done about 100 LC (15 hard and rest medium). For system design, I read at least a dozen seminal distributed systems research papers and popular engineering blogs as much as possible for the last 2 months. I also practiced with about a dozen common system design questions. I have done several complex and large-scale system design in my current role in AWS. What is your opinion of my quality of preparedness for a Google T5 interview? How can I best utilize the remaining 2-weeks to maximize my chances of success? Any other general tips for success with Google interviews?
Are you an applied scientist or sde?

You’ll be fine. I’m confident in your bonafides.
You should be good. All the best !
Shouldn’t it be an L6 interview loop?
I think Google T6 requires a lot more experience.
Google T4 = Amazon L5. Getting a T5 Interview at Google while L5 at Amazon is a level up
