Max Stack problem might seem tricky, but once you break it down and understand the various approaches, it becomes manageable
Similarly, with the Minimum Window Substring, you’ll need to get creative, especially when handling the wrap-around condition
Spend time on LeetCode practicing these problems so you can approach them with confidence, explaining the time and space complexities along the way
The Craftsmanship round is your chance to show why you do what you do, not just what you’ve done
Be ready to discuss your approach to mentoring, handling technical debt, and your strategies for improving legacy systems.
General advice
The best way to prepare is through mock interviews
Practice system design problems, and think about how you’d scale systems like internal notification services or real-time caching
The more you practice, the more natural it will feel when you're in the hot seat
When working on system design problems, always ask yourself, "How will this grow?" Think about future scalability and how the design will evolve as the system scales
Show that you’re not just solving for today, but building something that will stand the test of time.
