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.
