Oracle OCI interview, first interview after 4 months

Hi Blind community, I have an Oracle OCI final round interview coming up after few days. This is my 2nd interview after being laid-off after 6 months, and first interview after 4 months. I have around 1 and half years of experience and majority has been on frontend side of application. I want to do my best in this interview. The interview is for IC2 position, and it is of 5 rounds but I don't know for which team. I wanted suggestion on how should I prepare? I looked at around 10-15 OCI interview threads posted here, and I found out that for IC2 position they sometimes ask Network related questions as well, like difference between TCP and UDP. Honestly, I don't have much idea about these. Also, saw that they sometimes ask System design questions and some are full leetcode related questions. They also focus on their 7 values and resume related questions. My question is how should I prepare? Currently, I have finished almost all the past 6 months oracle leetcode questions, and doing revision again. Doing 1 system design everyday, I have yet not finished preparing for behavioral and Network related questions I have no idea at all. Any suggestions on what should I be ready for and focus most of my time for IC2 positions? Should I focus on behavioral, leetcode and system design only? Will this help me get through? Please suggest. I am nervous about behavioral because that was the part that didn't work out for me in my Amazon final round. PS: I want to increase my chances of getting hired, as I am currently very down because of being unemployed for 6 months and working for free to maintain my status. I am posting this on multiple channels as well to get more suggestions. LC : 306 TC : 0 #tech #oraclecloud #oracle

STUDY their 7 values and overall company culture as much as possible from resources available. Find behavioral prep questions relevant to your role. Write them out. Practice them out loud. Warmth & Confidence go a long way in the behavioral (and any) interview. - recruiting consultant

Yeah, I am doing the same thing. But when I looked at some oracle interview threads, I was just amazed that they were asked networking questions. Some of were asked OOD questions. So, just wanted to be sure so emailed the recruiter, the recruiter never replies. I will put my bets on these above questions but also looked at some of OOD and networking questions. Thanks by the way. Did you also interview recently at Oracle?
