Is leetcode premium worth it?

One of the features premium plan brags about is company-specific tagging on each question. Are questions really repeated at companies in onsite rounds? Do companies repeat the questions to evaluate multiple candidates over leetcode medium/hard problem to guage relative thinking ability? Or they just pull up leetcode and ask whatever comes to mind specially when it comes to onsite rounds? What would you do as an interviewer?

Definitely worth it if you’re going to have an interview soon

well leetcode premium increased my total comp from $93k to $168k for the low low fee of $170, which I made back in like a day lol

At Google questions are banned if they appear in LC or other prep materials. But some interviewers may fail to check the banned list.

Also - Google asks unique questions. But the underlaying data structure and algorithms are the same as the ones you see in leetcode under google tag. So study those and you'll be in good shape Facebook I heard just asks from Facebook leetcode section. Leetcode definitely helps for amazon CS questions.

It always either one from the list or from interviews discussion section. Banhammer is not that fast. Though I’m always failing to keep up, so I see that question is there only after the interview 😂 Also, I’m not sure if “when was it last asked” available for non-premium, but that’s too very accurate
