Step into a high-impact interview experience where you'll design a scalable, global platform inspired by Airbnb. You'll be challenged to architect a system that supports millions of property listings, real-time availability, advanced search, and secure payments, just like in a real-world FAANG+ interview. The session is structured to simulate the pressure and depth of an actual system design interview, guiding you through requirements gathering, high-level architecture, and detailed component discussions.

Get ready to think on your feet as you justify design choices, illustrate your ideas, and respond to probing follow-ups. You'll be encouraged to use diagrams to clarify your thought process and will face curveball questions that test your ability to handle ambiguity and complexity.

In this session, you'll:

• Sharpen your ability to define and prioritize system requirements for a large-scale platform.
• Practice designing robust, scalable architectures using diagrams and clear explanations.
• Tackle advanced topics like database selection, API design, and handling high concurrency.
• Defend your design decisions and adapt to challenging follow-up questions.
• Explore trade-offs between scalability, consistency, and reliability.

By the end, you'll be better equipped to confidently approach system design interviews, communicate your ideas clearly, and handle the toughest questions with poise.
