Big Tech Senior Mobile Interviews
Aside from LC questions, what do interviews for senior mobile roles (L5 equivalent), specifically iOS Engineering, look like at FAANG-like companies? If they are system design heavy, are there resources for mobile specific system design questions, since most of content out there is geared towards web system design?
How can I best prepare for these interviews?
Thanks!

My Meta interview for Senior Android Engineer (E5) was very open-ended and broad: talk through how you'd implement the newsfeed on the Facebook Android app.
I talked about RecyclerView, and it turned into a discussion about various view types, API interaction, and performance monitoring.

- "What are some of the best ways to practice and prepare for System Design rounds for Mobile Development (iOS Interviews)?"
- "What are some good resources for learning Mobile System design?"
Big Tech's interviews are quite standardized by nature though, so you will get a lot of non-mobile questions. Google and Meta in particular are (in)famous for being DSA/LeetCode heavy no matter what kind of engineer you are. Here's a breakdown of the Meta interview process: "How does the Meta interview work?"
