How do I prepare for a SWE II position in a startup company when there's no data online for interviews?
I have an interview coming up for a position where the tech is ReactJS, NodeJS, PostgreSQL, Typescript, and Next.js. It hasn't been scheduled yet and I have 1-2 weeks most likely. How can I prepare for the interview and is there a checklist I should follow to make sure I'm prepared? Most likely, they won't do Leetcode based on intuition? And also cause it's an 80 person company. I'm thinking I should brush up on React (the basic concepts) and also be comfortable with the DB stuff like entity relationship. Are there courses or tools I could use to prep? They said the role is fullstack but we can choose a backend or a frontend focus.
Thanks!

It doesn't hurt to ask the recruiter about the structure of the interview: how many interviews will you have and what kind of questions will each person be asking. I would ask what tools you will have access to during the interview.
For the frontend portion, definitely brush up on the React docs, look up some common React mistakes, and look up some Javascript common mistakes.
You should be able to build a full React webapp end to end in a web IDE. I would make sure you are comfortable with doing this by opening up a web IDE and being able to create a simple React webapp, like a todo project.
