Previously did 160 leetcode in college. I started doing leetcode again, solved mediums and hard from different topics for a month covering all topics like graphs, backtrack etc. I thought I am ready to solve Facebook and Google kinda phone questions at least - opened leetcode Discuss Google questions and bam! They were so difficult (or maybe I felt so) that I got so depressed to grind LC. Microsoft and Amazon ones were doable but Facebook & Google questions got my confidence to zero. How to keep motivated and keep solving it? Also, maybe this is because of a burnout of excessively keep on doing leetcode without break? Serious question on strategy anyone can recommend to do leetcode to prevent getting depressed again & do it in more enjoyable way? Targeting October for FAANG interviews, started preparing in April. TC - 190k (counting paper money, 35k per year worth RSU per year for 4 years) REQUEST - I clarified all TC questions in comments, can someone please give an advice on my LC situation now? TIA
190k with 1 YoE at Credit Karma? OP r u trolling
Counting paper money, stocks which are not public! 35k RSU per year as per them! Salaries are revised at CK, now they include 100% bonus for each level in base salary. Also, they do Markey survey of Bay Area every 6 months and adjust salaries for each titles to keep up with market.
WTAF 190k @ credit karma?
Updated to reflect paper money! Salaries are revised at CK, now they include 100% bonus for each level in base salary. Also, they do Markey survey of Bay Area every 6 months and adjust salaries for each titles to keep up with market.
What do you mean by 100% bonus?
First they used to have Base + target bonus + RSU. Now, they made Base + RSU and Base includes 100% of bonus for that level. So, if salary first was for example 100k and 20% variable target bonus on performance, instead of that they directly give 120k base salary + RSUs. They removed variable bonus part and folded it in base.
In 1 year you went from leetcode hero to zero? What is the possibility of never been than great and just have false memories? I would suggest calm down, dedicate a reasonable amount of time every day (1-2 hours) get a beer (cola tea or whatever) and try... Overdoing it doesn't help, it reduces your potential...
Agree just calm downใThe Facebook ones are actually in the same level with amazon and Microsoft. Over-stressed doesn't help
I also face this problem - When I solve the question without knowing company, I am quite productive. As soon as I see Google or Facebook tag I start thinking this should be very difficult sub-consciously and screw up. You ever faced that when preparing? Same happens in real interview, screwed up really medium level question in actual Google interview last year!
Well if you panic which just a trash in a question, what would you do if you have all production service down and you have to recover it? Are you sure that this is the business you want to be in?
Just do random questions and donโt look at tags . Once you do a few check how many of them were fb and google . Seems like a mental block
It'll come, dw. Just be patient and earnest.
How does it come? Through trial and error? What if you donโt want the errors ๐
Hope he stuck around at creditkarma
