Thanks for the QA! I wanted to ask how to build the practical knowledge of system design concepts rather than having theoretical knowledge? For example, There are lot of systems out there and one doesn’t get to build anything close to those in their daily work so how to get the practical knowledge? Or it’s not required?

1.I made it to the final round of interviews with Google a few months after college. I failed and haven’t tried for larger companies since. Am I going to miss the hiring spike if it’ll take me a few months to get to where I need to be? 2a. In your opinion, when is the right time to take a mock interview (in the context of a preparation timeline)? 2b. Follow up: what if I want guidance moreso than a mock interview. Can we utilize the time as a 30 min interview, and a 30 minute planning session? 30 is arbitrary for this question

1- How can I simplify my system design process to focus on solving the core problem without getting overwhelmed by unfamiliar tools because in problems you used Spark or Flink and i do not know anything about them and do not know what to do when i face cases that need a certain technology and i do not know about them ? 2- How do I approach a system design problem when I don’t have experience with some of the technologies involved? 3- How can I recognize when a system design is over-engineered and more complex than it needs to be because i feel that many system design tutorials are over engineering them and they are well prepared before recording the video so i am keep asking my self how did they got this solution it is really hard for me to get it in my own ?

Preparing for product design is kind of intimidating especially when practicing after going through your content. I know you guys provide guided practice, can you explain how to make use of this feature effectively?
