Common Components

• Coding round - More practical and applied than standard leetcode
• System design - How would you architect a solution for a client problem?
• Case study - Given a client scenario, how would you approach it?
• Behavioral - Tell me about working with a difficult stakeholder
• Presentation - Some companies ask you to present a technical topic

Tips

• Focus on clarity of communication as much as correctness
• Show that you think about the end user, not just the code
• Demonstrate resourcefulness - FDEs figure things out with incomplete information
