Leetcode, look at leadership principles. The system design round is also a toss up, but studying common OOP questions from Neetcode is sufficient.

“It was the usual four-round AWS loop, but the HM actually spent time on how I use GenAI to fast track my workflow, and the Bar Raiser was basically all LPs with tons of follow-ups.”
“They brought up on-call in multiple conversations, so that was the culture signal I actually believed. Then the hiring manager had me design a package tracker that could survive duplicate, out-of-order updates during Prime Day.”
