Like title says, I think I'm screwed... Other parts of loop are probably solid or good, but LC is kicking my ass, can hardly finish a LC med without peeking at the solution.

    Just chill out! You got this.

    From now till tomorrow, I don’t think much is going to change in terms of your leetcoding abilities.

    Just do a few problems to stay sharp coding wise and to warm up. And show up well rested. Whatever’s meant to happen will happen.

    OP
    Thanks for all the great tips, it went well and the coding challenges were in the easy half of the loop.
    Now just playing the waiting game🤞🤞🤞

  • PE coding usually not very hard. Dont worry too much about it.

    PE problems are simple, however, they can be deceptively simple. I got a suboptimal solution to a backtracking problem and messed up the time complexity. I went in to the PE coding interviews with 0 Leetcode practice, though. As an aside, Project Eueler problems are better practice material than Leetcode for PE interviews at FB. At any rate, make sure to get good sleep the night before.

    EDIT: I would recommend sharpening basic skills in Python like container iteration, string splitting, regex, recursion, operations in the random package, dictionary to list transformations and vice-versa, etc. in the time you have left today. You're unlikely to be asked difficult Dynamic Programming or Divide and Conquer questions.
