How to use this track

  1. 1. Work the roadmap in order. Each stage builds on the last — foundations first, then coding, behavioral, and system design.
  2. 2. Tie everything to the signals above. When you answer a question or solve a round, name the signal you are demonstrating.
  3. 3. Finish with a mock interview. Simulate the real loop end-to-end and review your readiness before the real thing.
