💡 Interview Success Strategy

System design interviews focus on your ability to think through trade-offs, scale systems, and make architectural decisions.

  • ✓ Start with requirements gathering (functional & non-functional)
  • ✓ Move to high-level design (draw boxes and arrows)
  • ✓ Dive into specific components and their trade-offs
  • ✓ Always discuss scalability, availability, and consistency
  • ✓ Justify your choices with concrete numbers
