How to prepare
- Go through the topic list above and mark every one you cannot explain for five minutes unprepared. Those are your gaps.
- Pair every concept with a story from your own work — interviewers probe depth, and depth comes from having actually done it.
- Do the DSA rounds anyway. Almost every role in this list still screens with coding.
- Prepare two projects you can whiteboard end to end, including what you would change now.
