Tips needed to prepare for Snap
Hello Blind, I recently scheduled my tech screen for Snapchat. I have heard that Snap asks LC Hard for their interviews. Upon checking there are only about 100 or so Snap tagged problems on Leetcode in total. So, what's the best resource to prepare? Please guide me! Thanks.

100 problems is a lot
Leetcode tagged problems are a good resource. For onsite two of my interview questions were not Snap tagged FWIW, whereas other two were. For the phone screen you would be expected to write and execute code on hackerrank.
How to prepare for systems design? Any tips?
Grokking, design primer helps. I also watched a ton of YouTube videos
Snap’s phone screen interview is broken. Don’t rely on it- have other options ready. I know 3 ppl (and I’m the 4th) who apparently did perfectly in the interview and got rejected.
Hmm.. Will keep that in mind. Thanks!
At Snap, there is no question bank from which interviewer asks questions. It’s up to the interviewer what question they ask.
Sure, I understand that. Do you suggest anything other than leetcode for prep?
Don’t worry bro I will only ask you LC medium
youre a real one
i ask simple ones first, e.g. sum of two vals to given number or similar which should take less than 5min who really wants to join to snap, then easy/medium one but with more realistic scenario, that way i test algo and experience. i would not want LC monkey on my team.

Thanks @jimminy. I wonder if only 100 problems are enough to be prepared for Snap. Can you be more specific?
Didn't mean to say they're less but compared Google Facebook Microsoft that's puny. So I was wondering if there was other resource that everyone else was using to prep.
