Totally lost hope as of now to get into a good company just after completing Master's and not even sure if I can make into the above ones right now. Did well in most of the interviews with little mistakes here and there.

LC - 200+

Yea. I got plenty rejects. At least 40 recruiters just ghosted me. Keep trucking, no pun intended.

  Haha! Yeah but feeling kind of dumb right now, not even able to crack these mid sized companies and then I think of applying and getting into FAANG

  Don't lower your confidence.. sometimes your synergy doesn't match with the interviewer.. Just be confident. Watch some Rocky movies and don't stop leetcoding easy and medium problems. Write your solutions in different ways till it becomes a pieces of cake. And then move on to hard problems.

  Thanks a lot for motivating me, I will try my best shot at Amazon next week.
  Otherwise I'll have to settle for a small company as of now as new grads are almost hired at every other company.

for every interview - keep a record of experience and go back to review after every other interview. find what went wrong and what can be improved. keep a feedback loop to yourself. And remember, some times things simply go wrong without reason. Keep going...

  That's what I'm not sure about, there are some times when I think I did awesome and then in the end got reject.

I'm so terrible at tech interviews despite getting good reviews year after year. Coding Interviews are a necessary evil and you get better with practice and shed the fear factor. Just go out and give your best without worrying about the result. Things will click. Good luck!

  Yeah something is definitely wrong, I'm thinking maybe my thought process of explaining the algorithm or maybe I'm not giving the optimal approach.

  It's not a lot for someone going in cold, but if you have solved 200+ problems on LC then you should be able to cruise through most big tech phone screen. I recommend that you spend a little money and do a few mock with real interviewers. Afaik interviewing.io is good. Also, pramp is decent free option.

  Yeah that is what I thought and most of the times I have been able to code up the algo, still in the end same result, Rejected.
  Yeah I think I should try these sites as I think I'm nervous when I give these phone screens and maybe interviewers sense it and reject me.

Are you interviewing in Python? Some companies are prejudiced against it. (Silly, I know, but you won't have the same problem with FAANG.)

  Also, screw these shit tier companies and go interview with good companies with consistent and predictable interview process.

Yeah as you can guess, I'm interviewing in Python and most of the times I have not seen anyone saying anything about it, not sure if this is the tie breaker. Yeah I'm trying to get more calls but the recruiting season has already ended for 2019 software Engineer new grad for most of the good companies.
