Microsoft interview from TCS

Hi, I have OA at Microsoft for the position of SDE 2! I have 5 days to prepare, I don't know DSA or system design well (just basics). I am planning to lock in all 5 days with the concepts. Just need the roadmap , tips and tricks. It will be very helpful.

Lots of ground to cover in 5 days.

  • blind 75 - just watch solutions at this point
  • speedrun common sys design stuff like streaming, events, uber, Swiggy, WhatsApp
  • hands on coding. Warm up - syntax, typing, explaining, talking out loud while thinking
  • maybe do atleast one mock interview on some online platform to get in the flow

Most important, be confident. Nothing to lose

Good luck

Dsa - you can do from leetcode or follow strivers 75 Dsa questions sheet. System design- you can checkout alex xu book , there are two volumes , first can be read in 1 day and it’s amazing.
Use chatgpt to prepare- it’s really helpful to prepare you for your targeted company / job profile, just use it wisely. Also you can practice mock interview using it :-)

You can give a correct prompt like , act as an interviewer, and paste the job description and company name and around what you want to have the mock round. Then it would shoot questions

You can ask them for extension you know? Just be honest and say you need more time to prepare. I deferred Google for 4 weeks by saying this. Got the offer in the end.

Well I can’t answer for that. Ultimately it’s your decision.

I’m saying I have asked multiple organizations for extension and none of them have had any problems.
