FB DE Python LC Levels

I have my technical phone screen for a DE Role at Facebook next week (IC4/5 I think ). I can do any LC SQL question in under 5 minutes no problem but I struggle even with the easy Python ones. I can brute force my way through a couple test cases for them in 10 minutes but hitting all edge cases takes another 10 and if I'm optimizing it sometimes takes 40 minutes for the easy ones. I've solved like 3 hards ever and it took hours lol. I have pending offers from some startups so I'm moving through the process really fast but I'm wondering if I should request to move back the interviews so I have more practice time. I worry it'll look bad and I'll lose the other offers before finishing the process but I also really want to do well. One recruiter said I'll only get a couple LC questions and should be fine if I just brute force through them and another recruiter said 4-5 medium to hard ones that need to be optimized so I'm kind of confused on what to actually expect.

Python questions are LC easy at best.. knowing data structures will help coz youโ€™ll know which native methods to use to solve the problem in a short and sweet fashion. Of course you can still solve the problem as long as you can apply the basics. Good luck
