Thanks to Leetcode community, thier insights helped me a lot to prepare for the interview. The tagged questions helped a lot to prepare for the specific problems. By the time of the interview I solved only 50+ questions. Read CTCI for brushing up my DS concepts.
For System design watched Tushar Roy's video and interview bit.
