SYSTEM DESIGN | Assignment Review with Monica Kothari

Have you been given a system design problem as part of an interview or take-home assignment?

Bring your problem statement and your proposed solution to this 1:1 review. We’ll examine your design, challenge your assumptions, explore trade-offs and identify areas you may be questioned on during the interview.

We’ll review:

• Requirements and assumptions

• Architecture and component design

• APIs, data models and technology choices

• Scalability, reliability and performance

• Bottlenecks, failure scenarios and trade-offs

• Gaps or risks in your current approach

• How to explain and defend your design in the interview

This isn’t about giving you a “perfect” architecture. The goal is to help you strengthen your own thinking and confidently defend your design.

Before the session: Please share the assignment/problem statement and your proposed solution at least 24 hours before the session so I can review it beforehand.
