Correct. I am not at Google. I am an engineer who has spent the last year deconstructing the loop by analyzing debriefs from L5/L6 candidates. The friction I am highlighting is that the interview simulation often requires a different mode of thinking than daily engineering work (or standard prep). If you are on the inside—does the NALSD focus on 'physics/constraints over boxes' align with how you are currently calibrated to score? Always happy to refine the model.
