How accurate is the Google tag for leetcode (past 6 months, sorted by frequency) ? Is it better to focus on top questions in general or google tagged questions? Have had pretty good luck with tags for Facebook, MS, Amazon, Uber but I’ve heard Google is a lot more random. However, reading recent interviews experiences and a lot questions being asked seem to be exactly the same or simple variations of the LC tagged questions (past 6 months filter).
Not exact leetcode questions, but variations or similar level between medium and hard depending on your position level
+1 Although I flunked but Cisco is saying the right thing. Do the needful
I second that
Focus on training your mind to solve new problems rather than hoping to get one you already solved.
How can i apply?
I did all the easy/medium and 30% hard google tagged questions ... not 1 got repeated 🙄
I am in Google and I take interviews. Let me tell you we are good enough to check if you have seen a question or not. Also if you are able to do well in 1-2 interview cz you saw the question but fuck.up in other 2 you still ain't gonna hired. Practice art of problem solving and not mugging up questions.
This is good advice.
So i see google tagged questions are fairly tough than fb and amazon tagged question. So is that the toughness level we see in real interviews as well ?
G doesn’t use questions from leetcode.
Not true in my and my friends’ experience. Two of the questions I was asked earlier this year were straight from leetcode with no variation. A third question was a very slight variation of a question on leetcode. The follow-ups were not, however.
+1 They are banned.
