Currently SDE-1 @ MSFT and looking for FB/ GOOG/ other top tier/ high paying companies for SDE-2. I am decent with LC medium level but haven't done many hard level ones (15-20 about). I was wondering what's a good number to hit, very broadly speaking, before I should start interviewing. Haven't had many interview experience personally, so would appreciate any pointers. YOE- 2.5 | TC- 160k
Not sure about how many. But I went to Google for an on-site a few months ago. I got an altered version of leetcode question 212. The brute force answer was not difficult, but the optimal way was impossible for me.
May I know the question I have an onsite coming up.
What’s your current lc count n breakdown
210 ish. Easy- 120, Medium- 80, Hard- 10 Number might look low but I try to cover different problems. Wondering if I should slog and extend 'hard' to 40-50 or rather spend more time on system design and start interviewing early.
Don't waste time on leetcode easy. No engineer ask leetcode easy questions, unless they are too lazy.
