I'm currently working through the book Cracking the Coding Interview. Should I focus on the exercises in the book and then back to LeetCode? Or do both at the same time?

    I would suggest to finish first 3 chapters from CTCI and start solving array, string, LinkedList, stack and queue questions on leetcode.
    Once you are comfortable, you can do in parallel.

    OP
    Yeh I keep reading about the importance of Big O notation but struggle to get my head around it and remember it, so trying to get the first few chapters done and focus more on LeetCode

      Isn't epi better than ctci? I concluded that based on other blind posts

      Epi is book. Elements of Programming Interviews. EPI is best book but I am trying to tell you guys that once you are done with CTCI, you will get confidence to solve EPI problems. Personally, I feel that EPI problems are but tricky than CTCI problems.

    OP
    Those who work at Amazon, how hard was the interview? I spoke with a recruiter and he gave me a lot of stuff to work through before I apply but don't feel like I'll ever be ready
