Meta interviewers, what is the best way to prep for those? Are there any online courses or books that you recommend? I found this version of the Grokking course: https://www.educative.io/courses/grokking-the-api-design-interview. Do you think it’s helpful? This is for a SWE E6 loop, any pointers are very welcome. Blind tax: TC: 0 YOE: 8
How did it go? Any tips you can share from your experience?
What's the difference between Product architecture and System design round? I have full loop for E5 level. Please help me.
Your recruiter should be able to tell you. My recruiter explained it in depth, and it was very helpful
Any update OP? How did it go? What questions were you asked?
Grokking API is very good, but can also apply some concepts from grokking system design. I would say some sort of combination of both courses, I don’t think Grokking API goes into DB design which you should know
If I’m good in API by itself already, should I go through that course still?
I would still go over it, make sure you know tradeoffs between api architectural styles, protocols, & data formats
