Folks, My goal is to get an FANG offer 4 months from now. Current stand: Have decent understanding of data structures/algorithms. Solved about 60 easy leetcode questions till now. Current work only deals with bug fixes & hence gaining little/no system design knowledge from workplace Prep details: Leetcode membership. Idea is to solve questions based on company and top liked questions. Grokking the system design/highscalability/ YouTube system design videos How do I distribute time between leetcode & system design? Time allocated: 4 hours/day. Please provide feedback on the above. Anything that is required to be added/removed? TIA
I would alternate days: leetcode one day, SD the next, take Saturday and /or Sunday off. Don't burn yourself out.
3 months is a long Window OP. Target atleast 3 problems a day whenever you feel like leet coding and keep it consistent.
Why 3 months a long window?
Might start forgetting the stuff you did in the beginning. Happens to me already at I’m only at 1 month in
Is EMC bad?
EMC was great, now its dell shit..
Emc is laid back IMO. Again depends on the org and the team. My team fixes only customer issues (bugs)
What's idea time frame to study for interview?
Sounds like a plan OP, adjust your hours accordingly if you get tired. Some days I just skip LeetCode altogether cause my brain is exhausted. I personally try to do 2 hours a day on weekdays and 5 hours on weekends. Try to fit some in at work too if possible. I can’t anymore so I read system design at work whenever I can
With all respect, 60 easy leetcode != "decent understanding of data structures/algorithms" at FANG.
