Google L4 onsite interview

What should I practice? Can anyone point to specific leetcode questions (I have premium). Should I make sure to finish all of the recommended (starred) problems in leetcode? Do they ask things like fries and prefix-tries or whatever? What about dijkstra one priority queues?

Yes

Yes those are pretty basic. I did 600 lc before interviewing google.

Amazon aljagb May 24, 2019

For what level? And what offer did you get?

Amazon FinallyAmz May 24, 2019

I failed.

Do them if you want maximize chance of success, though there's still a possibility of success without doing that stuff. I recommend doing the mock interview sets in LeetCode premium for all the companies. That should net you about 200 problems across Easy/Medium/Hard. Don't ignore easy, you want to get the easy problem coded up as quickly as possible so there's time for the interviewer to ask more questions. After that, just sort problems by frequency. Focus on medium and some hard. At this point you can selectively implement the solutions. Also, schedule real mock interviews if you can, helps a lot to get used to the pressure. You can get a friend to do it, shell out at techmockinterview.com (the interviews were pretty good), try out interviewing.io (it's free but some interviews can be a waste of time)

You mean in explore or something else? Are the explore questions worth it? Some of them are pretty challenging

Microsoft P Zezima May 24, 2019

There's a "Mock" section and also the "Problems" section have a frequency column

Just do like top 100 Google and then random questions. I also did epi which helped me pass the onsite.

Scotiabank 00x00 OP May 24, 2019

I finished half of them, most frequent ones. Is that enough?

Amazon aljagb May 24, 2019

@at&t: Top 100 of Google in what distribution? 25 easy, 50 medium, 25 hard? Also what parts of epi? I have the book but haven't started looking at it yet and have onsite in 2 weeks.
