Was expecting to then see a list of specific resources that a candidate could use to become prepared and confident. Instead, the guide provides a high-level overview of "algorithms", "data structures", and "modeling" and refers me to "HackerRank and Interviewing.io" for tips on how to prepare.
This seems like it could be improved. You value learning -- so give candidates something to learn and see if they can do it.

I feel very confident in doing day-to-day software development. I do not feel as confident speaking about abstract hypotheticals in front of a whiteboard.
