Cracked an offer > $60k

( Not a big fancy offer, average offer for 4 years of experience in Non FAANG )

Resources I recommend for interview prep

Coding

• Leetcode
• GeeksForGeeks (self-paced course by Sandeep Jain is good )
• TechInterviewHandbook ( https://www.techinterviewhandbook.org/ )

System design

• Grokking the system design
• Alexxu
• DDAT ( Currently reading )

Ignore any other famous names like Gaurav Sen and Real Engineering, they are just meh.

Gaurav Sen's course felt like he never really designed any system. Too much useless theory and he himself looks a lot confused in the course.

Real Engineer is all marketing. Not worth 40k for a course. You can use that to buy a lot of ( books resources + mock interviews ).

His pricing strategy of course is what to buy next in his house.
