Let's start with the fact that I hate my current job. All stocks have been vested. I took some time off to prepare for interview but as I read more and more I found out how much I still don't know. I am afraid now that I will never be able to find any good job because I feel I even degredaded since I joined this company. How do you know you are ready? Do you read about every thing like avl trees? Or just basic stuff is enough and its fine to tell the interviewer I don't remember much about AVL? Yoe 5 yr TC 150 base Tiny yearly stocks and bonus ~15k Avl is just an example 😉

Don’t listen to sad people on Blind. If you feel you need extra time to regain your self-confidence and rebuild your self-esteem, make a plan right away to do so. If you feel tired, make a plan to recharge. Succeeding at interviews it is like a marathon, so you can do it with a couple of hours of work a day, how many days a week depends on how fast you want a new job. However, based on what you write, I would first try to understand why you want to change jobs and what you really need right now. And, is this the right time to jump ship? Do you feel tired and drained? I’m asking because maybe what you need to do is just take some time to recharge. Do you want to change because you don’t like your manager or team or role? If so try to address that issue right away by possibly changing roles within your existing company, while you still look for jobs out there. Understand what’s really going on with you and what you really want. As far as interviews are concerned, you can do it. You just need to understand what steps you need to take next and make a plan. If you have the possibility I would also highly recommend working with a coach or therapist that will help you regain your self-confidence, you don’t need to do this for months, you will find out that even a couple of sessions will help you immensely. Bottom line, put your well-being first, you can definitely succeed at job interviews.
Tl;dr
Tl:dr OP can do it. What’s most important now is understanding what she wants and needs.
How do you know you are ready? When you can get an offer from a tier-3/tier-2 company (think something at the same level or a level below where you currently have a job). That’s when you start preparing for tier-1 companies. Preparation is also beneficial for you in being more effective at your current job.
@OP If you mention your yoe and levels that you are targetting, people can give specific suggestions. Prep is not the same for every level.

Off topic, but for avl just remember two things, left and right rotation. Using this you can write code for 4 edge cases LL, LR, RL, RR
