How would you recommend actually preparing for the Systems Design portion of the interview if we don’t have the many years to naturally pick up the full breadth? Any book recommendations or other sources?
System Design is hard, not just for beginners, but for everyone, including me. Because you cannot possibly have experience on all areas, but the questions can potentially come from all areas. So, there isn't a way to just learn stuff that can work for everything. The best way is to naturally be interested in architecture, read, read, read. And maybe build stuff, on your own. It takes time, unlike Algorithms, which you can pick up fairly quickly with deliberate practice. I will try to make a video with some recommendations.
@@EngineeringwithUtsav Totally understand. My main reason for asking of course is that so many of these larger company interviews have system design interviews included in the process. I’ve been wondering how someone going through it for lower level positions would even approach preparation. But awesome to hear there may be a video coming up from you on it! Take care!
Try exploring services available from aws like queuing service cache redis and db and try to come up with use cases where you can put these services in place and see what all apps you can imagine that may be using the same architecture. In simple words create one use case so you can think of possible solutions.
ONLY if I have seen this video before taking the plunge with AlgoExpert! I was carried away with system design section and his way of passionate teaching. But trying to do a problem on their IDE, I hate it to the core. There is NO debug facility like leetcode premium. The IDE doesnt give drop down help of stl container methods like leetcode. Need to explore the system design section. Hope it makes up. I rather stick with leetcode.
One important thing that @Utsav forgot to say was, that in Leetcode, you can filter the comment section answers by Likes. So you automatically get the best answers. Also you can find answers for most programming languages. And here is just python.
Can use algoexpert after grinding some leetcode, for questions types, or grouping. You can get lost in leetcode, after some time it feels like never ending questions, and you can feel like at what point I can feel ready.. In algoexpert, you can have the feeling of readiness to some degree, after completing everything I think.
This review is not accurate because he says that Data Structure course gives you basic explanations and that’s not true. The DS course focus on the time/space complexity of each of the operation that one can make on each DS, There Clem explain visually how the operating system interact with memory and why certain operations have certain complexity. The course totally worth it.
I was selected as a software developer and I had 3 months of free time before joining. Could you suggest some courses to do which helps later in my job
I would love to know how you prepared for System Design Interview and how junior engineers can prepare for it (AWS free tier). Great content as always.
I have not used Geeks for geeks, quickly checked it out. In a stickler for aesthetics and just the horrible design alone makes my mind hurt. I’m sure they have great content, but the design. 🤦🏽♂️
@@EngineeringwithUtsav My interview at Microsoft is today, just finished my first interview of the second round and I did not do my best... What would be the best tool for me to use to prepare that you would suggest for my future interviews with Microsoft?
@@Francis-om8hr Sorry to hear that. Well, it depends on what you think you did not do well on. Hard to suggest without knowing your strengths and weaknesses.
I’ve never heard. Just quickly looked at their Java curriculum and it is just the very basic stuff. It’s says it’s 5 bucks right now. So maybe you don’t lose much by trying. But the content is just very basic. You learn entire degrees worth from universities like MIT on TH-cam for free.
@@rgb5521 I have been active subscriber since they started. They are good for developers looking into other stacks not for new devs. I work in go and Python
I am Lightbend Certified Reactive Architect and would strongly recommend the same to understand the concepts of software architecture design..! This explains the Concepts in fair depth.. The problem is when we are asked to design any system in the interviews when we know absolutely nothing about the domain functionally, or something like bigger systems like design a Facebook, how should we start, database, ui, application, what tables should we have in db (once we choose any scalable db like Cassandra and explain them why Cassandra) How much to include in the interview, what to and not to include in the interview.. That's where we face difficulty...! I understand DDD ubiquitous language may help here..but that talk with subject matter expert should go in the correct direction...that is the basic problem here..and to ask the right questions we need the domain knowledge of that particular question or subject..! Another problem, Now let's say design a cricket tournament like world cup, ipl ..the design discussion and talks can take much more time and the design may go much complicated to discuss in the interview. Any views and ideas on how to approach such situations would help us much more..!
I've yet to find any. I don't think it exists, or is even possible. The best courses can do is sort of give you a sense of the interviews. Teaching "system design" would be impossible beyond that as it is a lot of reading and experience that makes you good at it.
I agree with your video totally. I think free stuff on leetcode gives enough practice for algo, and then there's Pramp where we can do free mock interviews. So lot of free stuff around. Will you be making some videos around system design? Like breaking down some system and why it works etc etc?
Hey Utsav, great video! Could you please share the details of the overhead projector and screen that you use with it? I'm sure you must've bought them after a thorough review and it could save me a whole lotta time! :D

Excellent. You helped me choose the learning platform which is better for my goals.
You are so amazing😌. I have upcoming interview with Facebook from which source I should prepare for system design round your suggestion will be very helpful for me
Algoexpert is not compatible with safari browser and shows huge icon for category. After repeated mail there is no reply or fixes after many months. If you use safari , completely avoid this product. NO REFUNDS.
How about people like me who worked 10-12 years in services like infosys And tcs , how do we prepare , do we even have a chance ? Everybody talks about entry levels 😊
Dude.. Your video came in right on time.... How good was the explanation in Algoexpert on scale of 1 - 10,. [1] I don't get it at all[sound like speaking latin] --- 10[I can teach a 5 years old what i learned, with examples] ?
With 2 years of experience, should i expect to study really hard for system design (i.e. needing to go deeper than SystemExpert concepts) for FAANG interviews? I have heard that I will not even receive a system design interview and its usually challenging for me, compared to the coding portion.
I don't understand why people buy courses like algoexpert. All they do is copy questions from leetcode and make video solutions on it and guess what you can find similar video solutions on youtube.
Frond-end positions generally don't have system design. Instead, they have product design that focuses on app critique, ux and if you are more into full stack, API design. That being said, for a top tech company, you will always need to have some discussion around scalability regardless of front or backend.
As of now the prices have dropped in AlgoExpert. They're offering System Design + Algoriths bundle in 39 dollars. Do you think it's worth for a one year experienced dev?
There is no such thing and “must do questions”. Don’t practice based on questions but based on the categories of foundational knowledge. So more like must know “areas”.
Your experience doesn’t really matter much. Based on the points I discussed, pick the one you fits your needs best. I prefer LeetCode but both are pretty decent.
Ohh man you are back.... hope you had a great vacation... can you accept my connection request on LinkedIn, I wanted your review on my resume.... also, I am customer of Algoexpert since Feb 2020, and recently they have added 2 new Tutors on their platform, Nick & Tim.... Nice product review on Nice channel....
I would have liked you didnt compare the product with other ones. I think comparing products is the worst thing you could do because you are not cgonna choose just 1 and leave the other out. You are gonna use both right??. Is it worth to buy algoexpert? just answer me this questions.
That is the whole point of the video ... not everyone has 100s of dollars to throw away, 10 bucks a month is already expensive for most people, esp. during tough times like right now. And there is value to comparing a newcomer to an established once because it provides familiar context and an alternate option. Of course, if you can afford all of them, then just buy all of them :)
sir I am really good in javascript and react. what course do you recommend me to learn on datastructure and algorithms before jumping to the coding interview prep?? thanks I look forward to hearing from you back
How can you be “really” good at JavaScript if you have not learned data structures? What does being good at JS mean? I see this as a very common thing people say to me. Bu, the idea that one can be good at a programming language but not the core fundamentals of programming is kind of odd to me. So my response is always - forgot about which language, stack, framework. None of that matters until you learn the core of programming. Once you master that, you can pick up any language - JS, Python, C, Java, you name it. Hope this makes sense. :)
@@EngineeringwithUtsav ohhh you are absolutely right. I made a mistake a mistake. I currently taking algorithms and datastructure course on udemy by cool steve and I really love datastructure and algorithms. I feel like it is math related since I have that background. thanks
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c9mmNmZaS48vOK3Vay-FXZq7AEPIqjLx-MUR-qgSqn8/edit?usp=sharing For anyone who's preparing for FAANG or any tech interview, here is the link to spreadsheet with all LeetCode questions and their difficulty with fields to collate personal information about the questions like time taken to solve them. As Utsav mentioned, it's always critical to time yourself to limit it to at most an hour. I also suggest sharing the sheet with a friend or 2 so you can compare the time taken and notes/opinion about the questions. Happy Coding! Thanks Utsav, nice review.
My advice: don’t practice based on questions. Question-first approach won’t get you far and you’ll keep solving too many. Do technique/knowledge-first approach.
Hmm. Why scrape LeetCode and put in on A spreadsheet? Everything is on LC already, by category, by company, by frequency ... it gives you sessions to track different sets, stats, submission history ... really everything you need.
@@EngineeringwithUtsav although leetcode is brilliant for those stats, thing I find is that some easy are more like medium and some medium are very easy. Also I'd want some way of keeping notes on the particular kinds of questions. It does seem very redundant but I find it more effective than spending time on the LC website, maybe it's just me 😅
Google is perfecting their AI and ML in every of their product including TH-cam. They know which ad to show when with 100% accuracy. Absolutely amazing
It's not even that complex if you think of it. They transcribe each video to auto-generate subtitles. So they essentially have tokenized the entire video into words, and have an index of which word appears at which part of the video. Then there is a process that removes stop words (words that don't have meaning on their own like and, is, the, by, for, etc.), then they do what is called stemming (convert related words to one root word, like running to run).... the result is a collection of words for each video as the key, and the timestamp as a value.... that likely goes through a simple ranking algorithm that rates words for ads relevancy and those words + ads + timestamp combo is put on a max heap by the ranking. Then, the final step is to pick the top X items from the heap based on how many ads they need to show for that video and there you go -- me saying data structures = highly relevant ad at the right moment. Cheers :) Thanks for checking out the video.
@@EngineeringwithUtsav it's basically education using technology. Kind of what udemy or udacity do but not just limited to video lectures. A technology could even try and learn where the user's knowledge lies and recommend specific modules. Basically if you were to teach from all your experiences on a platform like TH-cam or any other, your no BS way of explaining could really benefit alot of people trying to figure out the correct way of going about things by watching misleading and over-promising videos on TH-cam. I know I would really like that. 🌈

This is the most honest review of algoexpert!
Thanks Utsav ! You nailed it, especially the system design part.
Can you review Udacity for programming? Love the detailed input and honest reviews, you are nailing the value in these videos!

Been in software for almost 9 years, and I found algo expert really helpful. I had very little experience with data structures and algorithms.
I bought it and it was okay but didn't really like it. I ended up with elements of programming interviews and leetcode and I seem to be doing well.

Then, the final step is to pick the top X items from the heap based on how many ads they need to show for that video and there you go -- me saying data structures = highly relevant ad at the right moment. Cheers :) Thanks for checking out the video.
@@EngineeringwithUtsav Ed Tech needs people like you. If you got the time, you should seriously consider it. ⚡
@@aakashr79 Time is the main problem ... haha. what is Ed Tech?
@@EngineeringwithUtsav it's basically education using technology. Kind of what udemy or udacity do but not just limited to video lectures. A technology could even try and learn where the user's knowledge lies and recommend specific modules. Basically if you were to teach from all your experiences on a platform like TH-cam or any other, your no BS way of explaining could really benefit alot of people trying to figure out the correct way of going about things by watching misleading and over-promising videos on TH-cam. I know I would really like that. 🌈
