Top System Design Interview Mistakes [Part 1] - Intro

Hi, I'm Sophie Novati and welcome to Formation.dev's system design course made in partnership with Taro!

In this video, we introduce our unique approach to preparing for system design interviews, focusing on improving interview skills rather than just technical knowledge. I talk about the components of this course like:

• Addressing common challenges like freezing up or appearing too junior during interviews
• Emphasizing the importance of problem focus, communication, engineering thinking, and design leadership
• Analyzing real mock interviews to identify and correct common mistakes
• Concentrating on interview techniques with minimal focus on technical deep dives, using well-known prompts for illustration
• Aiming to help candidates effectively apply their knowledge in high-pressure interview scenarios
