Generally speaking, how much leetcode is required to make sure odds are with you to get an offer with G/Fb E4/L4? Onsite in a month. Current count: 25/200/0 Yoe: 2.5 plus masters TC: 170k
If you can code, none. If you need practice then heavily dependent on how much practice you need.
For Goog and FB, you will need to be familiar with DP. They like to ask those questions.
Are you comfortable with random new problems, if YES then you are ready. If NO then it does not matter how many LC you did because you did not actually understand the patterns and algorithms.

Wish it was as binary as yes or no. I would I know algorithms and data structure and general patterns of problem solving and coding. However, sometimes I would know how to solve but miss cases. Other times i write up huge amount of code taking over 30 minutes. And sometimes won’t just get the solution :(
Hold up. You’ve done 200 medium and 25 easy? How did you decide on these problems?

Interesting. Only problem I see here is that a lot of the easy are based on core algorithms needed to easily solve harder problems. Not saying you can’t learn them doing mediums, but it might make things easier
Our industry is insane. You have a masters degree yet you are worried about leetcode.
+1. Yes this is an insane industry. There's not many industries that would allow some uneducated mojo off the street that spent 6 months practicing bootcamp leetcode questions to get into an interview. Imagine a surgeon that avoided medical school simply because they watched "grokking the medical exam" on YouTube.
Grokking the medical exam 💀💀💀
I would at least do some hard ones
Get leetcode premium and target the company tagged questions. Good prep material. You can't go through Leetcode's entire catalogue in one month, but you can reasonably nail the company tagged questions and be prepared for anything.
Honestly I did maybe 10. But then I read through about 100. Just go to discuss section and sort by company read every interview post just to see questions. Thought about then but never actually tried to solve them for real
This exactly, read more than I did
interesting
