Resume: I rewrote (well Claud rewrote but I helped) my resume in latex, which really made it easy to tweak things. I found that ruthlessly trimming unrelated experience helped the resume screening stage a lot. Latex also was nice for source control compared to my previous word doc which has evolved since 2008! Coding: love it it hate it leetcode premium was worth it! I also set up a python project and used pytest to easily debug and step through questions, and add failed test cases from leetcode easily. Behavioral: I used Google's live mode for Gemini to ask me common interview questions, and give me feedback. It turns out there is a big difference to having a STAR answer written out, and verbalizing it! That was good practice System design: I didn't really need this but I heard mock interviews are the best for prepping here.
