Hey everyone,
I initially thought it was a good idea to schedule all my on-sites in one week (Google,Amazon,FB,Palantir) since I plan to take that week off of work and also know all the decisions around the same time. I have been prepping leetcode for a few months now ( around 350ish) , and starting to get comfortable with hards, but mediums still stump me sometimes . However, my system design skills are very weak , i find myself binging videos on youtube and reading through sys-design-primer, but I still don’t feel comfortable with designing a system. Also my focus on system design has been taking away from my leetcode time , not to mention I have to also prep for Amazon’s leadership principles and OOP interview. FB has given me a product design interview option , which could potentially be easier than sys design , since my experience resonates more with that, but I have to upskill on system design anyways for Amazon, and haven’t found any resources tailored for product design.
Can anyone help me any resources offering a concise/organized study plan for sys design? Also should i optimize my studying for my top choices or should i try to keep my eggs in multiple baskets.
For example, I am tempted to choose prod design for fb and not study too much sys design , and lower my chances for passing Amazon.(Google doesn’t have sys design for early career)

Amazon system design for your YOE is also likely to be reasonable. I passed it with a YouTube video solution.
Best thing for prep in my opinion is mock interviewing. Go ahead and take out a sheet of paper and time yourself talking through a system design problem. If you get stuck on an element, go look up a solution and it’s justification.
And the big irony is if you work in FAANG all of big problems are already solved and chances of you working on one of them are slim.
