System Design Interview Fundamentals
Why Study System Design?
Being good at system design helps you continue to climb the ladder, as you’re making a more significant impact on the overall business. Being more senior in an organization has a considerable bump in compensation as well. There can be a significant difference in annual total compensation between a senior engineer and a staff engineer. That requires you to do well in a system design interview. Fundamentals
This book will equip you with more than 30 technical fundamentals for a system design interview. Instead of giving you definitions that you can easily find online, the book will focus on applying the fundamentals to develop trade-offs and designs for system design questions. Applying fundamentals is how you will do well in a system design interview. Framework
The 6-step framework is critical for you to perform well. This book digs deep into each section because the interviewers look for coherence in your presentation. Instead of telling you what to do, the book will help you understand the interviewers' perspectives. The focus on strategies will show you how to impress the interviewers for each step. Communication
Communication is critical to the success of a system design interview. The book will provide more than 15 communication tactics to impress the interviewer. The design questions will provide you with examples of how you can communicate with the interviewer to develop assumptions, design options, trade-offs, and conclusions.

Yay! My very first technical book that I completed. I didn't do the system design practical qns at the end of the book, but gonna start doing system design practices with colleagues.
A very good fundamental overview of System Design (as the title suggests), gonna move on to reading Designing Data-Intensive applications next.
