Currently a junior that transferred from community college and haven’t taken a DS&A course. I have had internships but at non tech places with easy interviews and horrible pay. I plan to take the Princeton Coursera course over the summer and practice LC. #software #swe #engineering
6 months is more than enough time
If you are serious about it - yes. I am talking whole weekends worth, probably. Doing at least a few problems every week and taking notes. Actually attempting the problem before hitting leetcode discuss.
Yes.
Why haven’t you taken CS coursework if you are in college? Shortcuts usually don’t work. Focus on learning the science of computing in school. You have your whole life to leetcode. Get the fundamentals down first. Very very few at Google without a degree of some kind.
College is a waste of time and money
You think so but you don’t have the depth and breadth of your collegues, you just don’t understand it because of blinders. You have never been forced to learn something you hate. You have many holes in your knowledge around basics if you never went to school. But hey you do you, I only have 20 years experience managing devs.
Yes it is. Be consistent and learn to solve them instead of by hearting
Not in India
Im in USA :3
Good luck then :)
Depends on persons knowledge plus the level he is targeting
Programming I & II know how to program pretty well, and know OOP, have had web dev experience and internships. I want to get into a company that software isn’t a cost center.
I was talking about the time it takes to crack easy level questions in leetcode vs medium level questions in leetcode So the time it takes for leetcode varies accordingly
Anyone looking for a referral at Atlassian DM. Atlassian doesn’t ask LC style questions they are more real world oriented
I will hit you up after summer for sure would love to work at atlassian
👍🏻
It was 3 months for me to get good at lc. I have a job with good wlb and didn't study system design until later though. This is also assuming none of my college experience transferred over (I studied lc about 2 years after college).
Is JpMorgan where you are at now with good wlb?
Yes at the moment. However in my interviews with recent companies I've passed lots of leetcode stuff but system design is the part I sweat bullets at. Fingers crossed :P If I interview with 6 then hopefully 1 will pass me basically. edit: For what it's worth after the blind 75 I felt competent enough at about 150 questions to pass these interviews consistently (as long as I didn't get an unlucky hard medium/hard hard, but lots of the hards they give aren't usually a huge deal and can often be mistaken for mediums).

Depends on your commitment level but yes I think
I plan to do 2-3 hours a day after my internship no days off
It's like memorizing a phrase book and being dumped into a foreign country. You might be able to do some basic things like ask where the bathroom is, but when it comes to actually surviving, you will end up failing - miserably.
