Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Google has reduced their difficulty by a lot recently. They do not go into super hard problems anymore like last decade. Be good with your fundamentals and DSA and expect medium level questions. Ask questions to interviewer and do not make mistakes in your code. They tried to downlevel me as I interviewed for L4, there were additional interview rounds that I had to go through as well.
