My virtual onsite interview with AWS consists of 4 sessions, and one of them is a non-coding system design interview with the hiring manager.
What could I expect from this interview? I'm doing a lot of research but most blinders say sys design questions are not asked if the interviewee is a new grad. :(
Anyone who can let me know more about this? Thanks!

If it is pure System Design, make sure you explain to the interviewer early you are a grad and don't have much systems experience. Some interviews are normal and completely understand that.
And there's a set of douchebags that expect SDE1s to have 4 years of experience building large scale systems. If you get unlucky, just gotta do what you can!
