Best Resources to Practice System Design for Interviews?

Hi everyone,

I have an upcoming Atlassian system design interview, and I'm looking for good resources to prepare.

I'm specifically looking for:

  • A structured system design question sheet/list (similar to Blind 75 or NeetCode, but for system design).
  • Platforms where I can practice system design questions with sample solutions.
  • Resources that are particularly useful for mid-level (SDE-2) interviews.

I've already gone through the basics, so I'm looking for interview-focused practice.

Any recommendations for websites, GitHub repositories, YouTube channels, or courses would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has recently interviewed at Atlassian, I'd love to know the level of system design questions they ask.

Thanks!

Government officer (12 yrs, safety-critical infra) eyeing Google TPM roles — delusion or dark horse?

Been building safety-critical infrastructure for a giant government railway system for over a decade. Zero FAANG on my resume, zero coding /IT DNA. Somehow have a referral into Google TPM roles (data center + fiber infra) and now I'm wondering if I accidentally speedran a midlife crisis. Anyone in TPM/infra at Google — is this a real shot or should I sit back down?

google sys architecture design interview

How to prepare for google sys architecture design interview? It’s an ai agent role. Is it mostly about recommendations/ search/ads kinda thing, or domain specific tailored for the team’s needs? If it’s ai agent related, is there kind of agent related sys design required? Should I get more clarity from recruiter?

Couldn't find a good place to practice quant interview questions, so I built one

hey everyone!

i have been interested in the quant space ever since I did a minor in finance last year alongside cs as my major. I started to apply for quant roles and preparing for interviews when I bumped into a problem - I could not find any ‘leetcode’ for quant finance where you could practice math questions, practice mm games, probability and everything needed for a quant interview.

with my cs background, i decided to fill the gap and build it myself. that is how NeetQuant was created neet-quant.com. it has a growing question bank of 600+ questions spread across probability, EV, conditional probability, combinatorics, statistics, random variables, linear algebra, stochastic processes, finance & derivatives, brainteasers, programming/DSA, market making & betting games and more. it also has an Optiver’s Beat the Odds inspired online assessment simulator which gives you 90s for each probability focused mcq. you can configure the difficulty and also amount of questions for each practice run. it also has a market making timed game, kelly betting simulator, fair or rigged?, take the bet? (quick fire EV estimation) and more. every game is configurable and random seeded so you can play it many times and each is different. 

it has really become a passion project for me and I am actively working on it and expanding it week by week. I would love to get an opinion on the website - what you think of it overall and if you consider it helpful for interview prep. also feel free to share extension ideas, I am keen to hear feature ideas to implement.

thanks for feedback!

Pinterest Onsite expected result?

  1. HLD - 1 : My weakest round because I didn't understand the question completely and missed how union of two incoming queues need to be done where a hint was given to me. However, past that I completed all FR and NFRs and the interviewer at the end said "I learned something new and took care of everything." - This is the round I am most afraid of.

  2. HLD - 2 : Went well, started a small project deep dive which he was impressed by. For the problem, DB choice was a discussion point because there was case for both SQL and NoSQL which I mentioned the trade offs to him which he was convinced by. Rest the interviewer at the end said you covered everything and then we discussed about culture at Pinterest.

  3. Coding - 1 : Solved all parts with 3 minutes left. Interviewer seemed satisfied.

4 coding - 2 : Solved all parts with 10 minutes left and we discussed scope and work of a senior SWE.

  1. competency round: the interviewer said we need someone with your skills since that is in our roadmap.

Role interviewed for : IC15

Yoe : 6.5

Can this lead to an extra round or a down level to IC14?

TC: 0 (laid off)
