I really enjoyed our conversation, and I learned a lot from you. I especially appreciated your insights into how to approach system design interviews. As this will be my first system design interview, your advice was invaluable. I also appreciate you challenging me with difficult questions. This helped me to feel more prepared for the possibility that the actual interviewer might decide to go off script and increase the difficulty of the interview.

Thank you so much for the thorough advice and review on everything especially the SDLC part, I realized I definitely have pretty big gaps in my readiness for this area that I need to focus on before the interview. These processes are definitely in place at work but since they were things that were already set up in advance, I never thought too deeply about them. It really helps that I now know I need to be able to articulate those processes well. I appreciate all the advice, I definitely learned a lot! The coach was really helpful in thorough in providing advice and tips and it helped detect the specific gaps in my interview readiness.
