I recently bought Cracking the Coding Interview 6th edition as it appears to be the de facto prep book. Will start going through that.
Can anyone recommend an interview Boot Camp program (paid or free)? Please reply only if you’ve had first hand experience with company/org you’re recommending. If you recommend one, please also provide pros/cons from your perspective.
Also, any YouTube channels or other resources that could possibly help?
Any helpful positive feedback greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, someone who solved ~800 LC to go from nontech to tech because I could code already but didn’t know DS&A
I actually started off with the blind75 and still haven’t finished it. At the end of the day, I got super good at a few problem types to the point where I could do those in my sleep, and from there it was just a numbers game doing diff interviews until I got asked a question that fell inside what I knew how to do well.
Please DM me if you want to know more, I’m part of a discord server of amazon people I can add you to. A lot of the people (myself included) passed off tips to each other in there and left amazon after studying a bunch
A) I am one of those people who LIKES leetcode
B) if you don’t have a CS degree, you have just made a few APIs in Python for some shitty small company, have no Fucking clue what a min-heap is, etc… doing this much LC is essentially like taking a DS&A class. I am coming at this from the angle of someone who majored in STEM, but can’t get a tech role because of the “no CS degree” filtering criteria that a lot of companies have. Your situation might be a lot different than mine, this is just what worked for me.
But if it did work for me, chances are it will work for someone who DOES have that typical SWE background, just in less time, with less effort, less problems solved.
