Went through onsite interviews a couple of days ago. There were 4 interview rounds

About me
~120 LC total, 6 YOE, Applied with no ref

Coding
2 interviews, 4 questions total, all from meta-tagged top-100, all medium. Only one was a slightly harder variation. Solved all completely except for that variation which was 90% complete with verbal explanation of the extension. All solutions were optimal.

ML Architecture & design
Question which was very similar to a meta-tagged system design video by a popular YouTube blogger who creates videos of mock interviews on ML design. Just do your search please.

Behavioral
All questions are either from meta's guide or from a random guide from the first link in google search "how to prepare for the behavioral interview".

Overall impressions
Didn't like the design interview -- my interviewer seemed to be a bit off, not providing any feedback and not asking any clarifying questions to my solution. I had to ask "do you think it is looking good so far?" a lot of times and barely get any feedback. Did a lot of writing and drawing. I don't know if my answer was what he was expecting but I tried to cover every aspect as per the online guides on ML system design interviews.

Decision

TBD. I won't be surprised if I get no offer but I really hope for the best.

Good luck fellow leetcoders!
