Mock interview (System Design)

60-minute realistic System Design interview for SDE-2 candidates. This isn't a casual discussion about system design. We'll simulate the kind of conversation you can expect in an actual SDE-2 interview. You'll be given a system design problem and expected to drive the discussion — from requirements and APIs to architecture, scalability, databases, caching, reliability and trade-offs. I'll evaluate how you think, communicate, make architectural decisions, and respond to follow-up questions.

What we'll evaluate

• 🏗️ Requirement gathering
• 📐 High-level architecture
• 🔌 API & component design
• 🗄️ Database & storage decisions
• ⚡ Scalability & performance
• 🔄 Caching, queues & asynchronous processing
• 🛡️ Reliability & failure handling
• ⚖️ Trade-offs & decision making
• 🗣️ Communication & interview approach

After the interview

You'll get direct feedback on what you did well, where you struggled, and what you should improve before your real interview.
