You absolutely can prepare for system interviews it’s just some of the best content for doing so is behind paywalls. I opted to buy a course on leetcode covering this topic and my performance before was like night and day. Going through about 20 worked examples each of which has a 45 minute explanation means learning about 60 patterns you can slot into various problems. Once you’ve seen the patterns it’s a lot easier to apply them in different contexts to piece together the system you want.

Thats a good endorsement. I've seen those and wondered if they were a waste of time. I think I might consider one now if it was that beneficial. I have no problem paying for educational content. But I was afraid that stuff was just institutional fluff and internal-marketing.

Yeah, you can also pay to do system design interviewing practice. I did a few paid system design interviews last year (interviewing.io) and found it helpful before a few FAANG interviews.

What course did you use, if you don’t mind sharing?

It’s the Code Karle one. The presenter has a thick Indian accent but is still understandable, which I’d probably say was the main negative.

Is there one for leetcode patterns? I googled Code karle and found a site with system design interviews.

I'm sure there are many but I haven't used them so I don't know which to recommend.

" opted to buy a course on leetcode covering this topic" Can you indicate what course for leetcode you took?
