first off i just want to say thank you to everyone in this community for helping a noob like me. i received tons of help and advice from everyone here. i’m excited to say i’ll be working at facebook starting next week. i don’t have a top school on my resume so i had to be creative. i followed the advice here for the last 2 years and it’s been the most helpful resource i’ve used up until now. i was also able to get a referral on rooftop slushie which resulted in a job at facebook. so a special thanks to (you know who you are) for referring me! being on blind can sometimes bring you down sometimes but it also made me realize that it’s absolutely attainable. i almost tripled my previous salary. work hard, do leetcode (super cliche but it works), and you’ll eventually end up where you want to be. thank you!
How many LC did you do. Easy/Med/Hard % And how many of them were FB tagged questions
I did about 330 questions. 10/70/20 split Not sure how many were FB tagged. Maybe 40-50?
Congratulations!! You deserve it!! Do you mind posting or mentioning your study plan or approach? Or link to some useful blind posts?
Pretty well known but this is a start https://www.teamblind.com/post/New-Year-Gift---Curated-List-of-Top-75-LeetCode-Questions-to-Save-Your-Time-OaM1orEU My approach was to do focus on LC medium, completing problems on a regular basis. At least 1 problem a day, more when I had time. I read the leetcode forum regularly as well. For system design, I looked at: https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer Grokking the system design interview I tried to do some mock interviews with friends. I also got some advice on what to prepare from the person who referred me.
Congrats!
Thanks! Hopefully I'll join you at Google one day

Enjoy your bootcamp!
Thanks! Excited to check out the menlo park office!
Congratulations
Another rooftop slushie scam post. This needs to be deleted.
I've never been able to get an interview at fb and the referral got me one. I got good results from it. That's all I have to say.
Ok Dell.

OP, kindly share fb level and approximate TC?
