rate my leetcode strategy for google on a scale 1-5 1 is shit and guaranteed to fail 5 is amazing and will likely pass here is my strategy: - do 5-10 medium problems in each category until comfortable (about 100) - do top liked questions (50) - do top interview questions (100) - do top google questions (50) - do another 50-100 recent google questions (if time allows) - go back through problems and memorize any tips and tricks for the last 4 groups - i didnt touch on system design but hopefully i wont have it, i plan to decade a couple weeks to grokking system design and another crash course resource i have 100 days to study atleast. been working 2 hours at least everyday. please comment your succesful strategy below. thanks :)
Bro. You got into Microsoft, you're gonna be fine. The fact that you have a strategy is amazing. Keep it up.
Thanks friend 🙂
Anyone should be able to get into FANG with only 100 leetcodes. Just take different topics, 20 easy, 20 hard and 60 medium. Your mistake is that you’re trying to solve a lot and memorize them. Good luck. System design and soft skills might be more important than coding part. Good luck.
Google phone interview or on-site?
I imagine I’ll skip to on site since last time I failed I did on site
That's not how it works. You go back to the starting line.
I don't know fuckall about leetcode, but that's a lot of steps and your clearly working hard. You got this.
I bet $100 that, despite you spending all that time planning out your leetcode study strategy, you won't execute and in the end you'll do like 50 before burnout and push out your onsite date so many times we'll have another President by the time you finally go, only to crash and burn.
Don't forget, the point isn't just to do a lot of problems, the point is to understand the patterns and be able to use them to solve whatever question the interviewer asks. It's unlikely to be exactly one you remember doing.
Yup that is what I have been focusing on. Learn the patterns then practice applying them.
You'll fail, guaranteed
Why, what else should I do?
Unless you’re kidding than 😂
