Just throwing it out there but when in general would you stop leetcoding? Or is it just a thing you always do and are always in constant pursuit of trying to get to a state that is more TC, WLB? TC 160
This.
In my last round of job hunting, I created a GitHub repo where I DRYed /organized all the 300++ problems in different folders. So, next time when I start job hunting I have a base to start.
Can you share it with others here who might benefit from it?
Here is an example: Course schedules I and II can be done with one base function call. So I created a top sort folder, wrote a base function there. Now both problem calls the same function. This way I don't have to revise two solutions when I am grokking LC. Of course, not every two problems not going to be like this. But I spent lots of time writing this kind of one method to solve multiple problems and categorize them in Github. Of course, this approach might not work for everyone.
Once I reach $400k TC and $2M net worth, I will stop leetcoding. Any employer that wants me will have to change their interview practices. Yes, I don't want to work at any FAANG any more
Once my youtube channel becomes viral
Let’s see your channel
When you don’t need to code for money anymore.
this is the wrong question imo. the question should be: when do you stop working on skills needed during and interview? the answer is: when you retire leetcode is just one of those things. i think of these skills as a necessary evil. yes it’s sort if stupid, but can be then difference between landing an awesome job in a good market or landing a job in a downturn. coming back to leeting. if you do 1-2 questions per week after an initial investment of 150-200 leets you should be fine.
I think this is a good perspective
If you're at Amazon or on visa, then never. Maintain a non-zero momentum so you can accelerate whenever needed. If not at Amazon and not on visa, then depends on how much gap you're OK with having on your resume and how fast can you get interview ready with a full time job. Also there are few companies that don't ask LC questions, like Dropbox, Stripe etc
dropbox doesnt ask lc onsite?
Leetcode is for life
You stop when you got the job/offers you wanted (including competing offers). That’s the harsh reality if you really wanna get a top band offer in fAANG.
I never started
Every time I tell myself I need to start, I start on one - then am like meh…
