Upcoming Microsoft SDE2 Full-Loop
Hi, I have a full-loop interview coming up for SDE-2 (IC3) Microsoft (North America - Fabric Data Eng Team), and would be really grateful for any recent experience or guidance.
I am a bit confident about DSA ( except Graphs and 2D-DP Hards), but really worried about SD (I haven't had any SD rounds in past). I only have a week to prepare (didn't have much flexibility in choosing dates). I have read System Design Interview (by Alex Xu), and going though hello-interview SD playlist. Is this enough? Are there any other better resources for quick preparation?
I checked with recruiter about SD round and she said the interviews will mostly focus on problem solving and less SD, but she didn't feel confident in the answer or may not be completely aware. Problem-solving can include both i guess. Should I expect only DSA or also HLD or LLD questions (I have 3 rounds in total)?
For DSA, what topics are they most interested in? I got a LinkedList and Heap based question in Screening round.
Thanks in advance for any help ✌️
