As an ex-Apple Engineer, I interviewed dozens of candidates from entry to senior level.

I focus primarily on the thought process and strategy that goes into approaching technical interview questions, how a candidate can be more efficient with their time, and how a candidate can avoid a lot of the non-obvious cues that makes them appear weaker than they really are.

Liked, saved, and shared! Looking forward to the next video in this series.
QQ. Do you recommend the "Scalability & System Design for Developers" path in Educative? One of its modules is "Grokking the System Design Interview".
I don't have too much experience in system design, so the earlier modules in this path seem like a good way to build this knowledge. Jumping to "Grokking the System Design Interview" without knowing basic concepts feels a bit like jumping to "Grokking the Coding Interview: Patterns for Coding Questions" without knowing data structures and algorithms.
