This concept is being written. It gets the full five steps — explanation, predict, interview angle, practice with tests, and review cards. Here is exactly what it will cover, so you can study it elsewhere in the meantime.

What it covers

  • common rounds (candidate reports and company-published, dated): recruiter screen
  • coding (Python/TS, practical not puzzle-heavy)
  • LLM concepts
  • take-home (build + evals)
  • AI system design
  • customer/stakeholder simulation for FDE roles
  • behavioural
  • how to present a take-home (README, eval results, trade-offs, cost)

Words you will know
