What programing languages and frameworks should you be proficient in going for SDE I at any of big tech comps like Google, Apple, Amazon?
No frameworks, learn one language well, and do leetcode
Does FANG actually use leetcode once you’re hired? I’ve never seen an engineer day to day need that knowledge that couldn’t just be googled.
As an SDE I you should be able to take clear specifications and produce ok quality code. And don’t be an a$$hole. That’s it.
Only disadvantage I see with JavaScript/es6 is it doesn't have implementations of some really useful DS like linkedlist, priority queue, stack etc. so if you are solving a major problem which involves use of any of these DS you will have to implement them yourselves, Java and some other programming languages are useful in this case
Yet to interview with FAANG but actively prepping.
You use list as stack in js. If you want linked list and interviewer is ok you can pretend that js list is linked list with its time complexity etc. Of course no priority queue
I recently got into FAANG did all my interviews in JavaScript. Leetcode young padawan with whatever language you know just Leetcode. Everything else is trivial
Skill of licking your boss’s ass
Lol that's the one I'm bad at..
Me too.
Leetcode
Thanks. And yes, I have been solving problems on that but mostly in JavaScript that why I'm trying to figure if I should focus more on other languages.
I'm wondering this as well. JS is currently my strongest language and curious if it's ok to interview in that. I hear a lot of people recommend python for interviews.
