3 months left, CTCI or Leetcode?

Hey Blinders. 3 YOE and $175k TC in NYC. September is my target for starting interviews, and I've put in ~3 months of 1hr a day to get my resume updated and dust off data structures + algos from CTCI. With 3 months left, would it be worth another month to cover Math probs, DP, & sorting from CTCI? I want to have really strong fundamentals, but don't want to cut my LC time short. So what do you think? Thanks in advance! #leetcode #interview #ctci #swe #engineering

No need for math! Do not see the reason for spending a month on sorting and DP. Steps for you should be: 1. Buy leetcode premium 2. Sort by frequency 3. Solve 200-300 problems! 4. Watch 10-15 system design videos (one by stupid CS guy was my fav) 4. Read gro-King 5. Give mocks 6. Clear interviews 7. Share “I did it, got my dream job” post on blind without Tc 8. Update post with new tc after someone ask u to pay blind tax

8. Update your post because someone told you “TC or GTFO.”

I may get a lot of hate for this but doing just CTCI end to end should be good tbh. Many of the problems from CTCI even today are LC hard and CTCI covers most of the fundamental interview problem types.

Says the guy working for Schlumberger… what did they ask you in your interview? Define a variable?

Did this work for you or someone you know? Fair point.
