Hi all, I have been invited to an onsite at palantir. have about a month to prepare. what would be the best strategy to prepare? background: i went to a good university but basically hardly paid any attention in classea but ending up really good. my data structures & algos are weak and i cant even manager to do hackerrank/leetcode easy questions. however i have 1 yoe at a start up. is there any materials to get me to a strong enough competency so i can attempt the leetcode/hackerrank questions
1. Decomposition/system design question 2. Programming/leetcode medium 3. Debugging 4. Hiring manager Overall fairly straightforward process. You'll also be shown a product demo.
If im struggling with leetcode questions where would you suggest i start off with to brush up my knowledge?
Well... Leetcode if you're struggling with that. Make sure you understand the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms. Plenty of online courses and readings for that if necessary.
