Can blind community share some insights and resources on what it takes to Crack the Google Staff, Sr Staff engineer?
Time to prep: 90-120 days. Been a few years since I spent time on LC. I can at most spend 1-2 hours/ day if at all (day job at Amazon is demanding and so are wife and kids at home)
No trolls please. Seeking genuine help. Haven't interviewed in a while.

Behavioral - Amazon has a high bar here and you should be well prepared so long as you've done enough interview loops.
Highly recommend doing lots of mock interviews. As you know, behavioral and system design would be key for you. I've used interviewing dot io previously and I'd recommend them if you can get L6+ (Google leveling) to do these for you.
You can definitely aim for senior staff so long as you've the appropriate level of work and can show that in your interviews. Your next company doesn't need to know your current leveling.
