Two weeks is not enough to learn everything — and trying to is exactly how people waste it. It is enough to get genuinely sharp if you do two things: triage ruthlessly to the rounds you will actually face, and spend the back half simulating the real interview rather than reading about it. The candidates who pull off a strong two-week sprint are not the ones who cover the most ground; they are the ones who pick the right ground and rehearse it out loud until it is automatic.
This is that plan. It covers how to triage with limited time, a day-by-day schedule for week one (build the foundation) and week two (simulate the real thing), the daily rhythm that makes the hours count, and the mistakes that quietly burn a two-week run. Adapt it to your role — coding, system design, data engineering or a manager loop — and your fortnight will do far more than another fortnight of unfocused grinding.
Before you plan a single day, find out what the loop actually is. Ask your recruiter which rounds you will have — most will tell you, and many will share what each round weights.
