Have Facebook (E5 level) onsite in 4 weeks. I have completed about 300 problems in LC (~150 M; ~130 E; 20 H) so far. Below is what I think I may need to get this through. Coding: Leetcode - 400 problems EPI System design: Educative Grokking the SD Interview System Design primer highscalability.com blog.gainlo.co Please advise if I had missed any crucial materials for preparation. If so, please suggest.
This is insane. Is this the numbers people do these days? (Leetcode didn’t exist the last time I interviewed)
Everything he listed is how I’m preparing as well, on top of 20 paid mock interviews...
Would you be able to get in now?
I recommend just going through Glassdoor qs and doing mock interviews like on pramp.
Maybe setup some more interviews to get some practice before the real thing , and also to get some competing offers
I am up for mock interviews (my fb onsite is a month away at least). Hmu if you are interested
Read designing data intensive applications.
Do practice interviews at startups first for real world experience
Give interviews at companies you don't care about. Try to line up as many as you can.
Kudos to the effort. You should be a shoo in. But requiring ppl to do this is insane. Why dont these comps start a master of leetcode degree and just hire ppl with that.
Did you get it
You will be able to finish 100 more problems + EPI + CTCI + prep for design in 4 weeks time? If you could then that's great. You should be good. Taking days off?
