Over the years, I’ve conducted many frontend system design interviews. I noticed the shortcomings of the candidates and how they end up messing up their interviews. The candidates often memorise answers, throw around jargon, and struggle to provide clear & structured answers.
This document is my attempt to address those challenges. It’s practical and focused on realistic advice, offering a framework that can help in any frontend system design interview. I’ve outlined a structured way to approach interviews, the key topics to cover, the steps to follow, and the secrets to success. The goal is to simplify the frontend system design round and provide valuable insider insights that no one talks about!
The learnings shared in this guide has helped many folks that I have mentored grab 50+ LPA offers from companies like Uber, Salesforce, Razorpay, Roku, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Google, Slack, Swiggy, and more!
This document talks in terms of HLD. If you are specifically looking for examples like how to build specific XYZ system in detail then this guide might not be that helpful. I might include those examples in upcoming versions but not this one.
P.S. If and when I make any changes to the content of this particular guide in the next 1 year then you will get the updated copy for free!
