$159 for securing a $200k+ FAANG job? Best effing investment ever. I buy it without second thoughts

What’s your strategy when using it though? Filtering questions by company and question frequency or is there something more to it?

No, just go to cscareers.dev Discord server and use #leetcode-bot.

Never heard of it, will take a look, thanks!

nice suggestion. but the bot only shows some 30 questions per company. is that all u get in leetcode premium. P. S. NOT complaining. just curious

One of the best ROIs, why would you not invest in yourself.

Microsoft jRRR76 Apr 26

I agree. I bought the premium and did the most frequently asked & company tagged top questions

How to filter based on company ?

It's so cheap compared to how much you can make in software roles. That being said, for best ROI, you should just practice a lot of problems and get better at leetcode in general. For that, you don't really need the premium. But this will take time and effort, and this will ensure that you don't have to keep coming back to leetcode grind everytime you have an interview coming up.

Thank you Yo. I have an Amazon L4 loop next week. I did each question on Blind 75 4-5 times now (skipped DP, Hard, and Premium questions). Is that enough to pass the 3 coding rounds? thank you!

Depends upon the interviewers you get tbh, Microsoft. But I’d say don’t skip anything from Blind-75, those are classic problems. You should understand each one of those. You can ignore the premium ones (maybe do Alien Dictionary though)
