Hey Chris! Currently trying to prep for an extended Facebook interview process over the course of a few months as I am being considered for it! When you recommended the curriculums for those courses at the universities you listed, is it better to just watch/read their lecture material provided by the professors or just research the topics listed on the curriculums on our own on places like RU-vid?
I'm floored by the quality of this video. I have been studying cs for a year. In that year, of all the coding interview prep vids I have seen, this is by far the best. You were: organized, engaging, and thorough. I'd be a big silly goose to not subscribe after watching this.
Trust bro. You’ll grow exponentially fast once you get to about third year. Everything’s based on the same frame of thinking so if you have a solid foundation it’ll work out in the end bro.
I know I have roasted you in the past but honestly let me tell you this is the single most valuable piece of content regarding interview preparation and how to be better at CS jobs in general. This is an absolutely golden resource. Well done. It covers everything perfectly.
If he spoke as efficiently in the interview as he did in this video, it's no wonder they hired him. It sounds like he has a multiprocessor in his brain., I can barely keep up!
Hands down, not only the best coding interview prep advice out there, but also best advice on how to get into becoming a person that can accomplish any goal they set their mind to! Thank you Chris for the great content.
Not for anything but don't stress out about it too much. Developers and engineers tend to make things harder than they need to be and in result it creates this psuedo level of "elite intelligence". Yes, these interviews at these big companies are incredibly tough but if you practice enough you'll eventually get it. In fact the level of difficulty of these interviews at these companies are actually unnecessarily difficult and often times pretentious because what they're actually doing on the job isn't anything like the interview, but thats another topic. If you want to be a better programmer, keep programming. I have no doubt in my mind that you'll be a great programmer the more you practice throughout your academic career.
You're one of the few people that touch upon both the technical components AS well as the human-ness component that requires just as much preparation. Thank you for sharing one thing I didn't think about for preparation -- creating rules and behaviors to fall back upon and using reinforcement to drill them in. I've made so many mistakes in relation to off-by-one errors and pointer mis-management that it felt like pretty much luck when I passed seemingly hard problems. I lacked consistency, but if I was more aware of devil in these details and ensuring that I had them covered, I'll find more success. Thanks, Chris!!! Hopefully my second go'round will be fruitful with these crucial bits!

@@irvinge4641 my username was cjereza - it doesn't have most of my problems though (I did a lot of them on paper/whiteboard and didn't actually submit the code, so it doesn't show up as completed)
I subscribed a few days ago to your channel and I am wondering why I didn't find it earlier :)) Thank you for the nice explained and detailed video ! :D I also would want to know, what's the song you use at the final of the this video ? It' s fantastic, man !
This video couldn't be better, I really appreciate those tips, this is a video that people must to watch if they want to succeed on the code interviews. Thank you very much for it.
@@trustthe_process4371 Not everyone can come out of graduation and be a billionaire playboy philanthropist entrepreneur like you. Nothing wrong with getting experience and guidance at a good company.
one of the best videos I've seen on the topic! I really like the part about trying to improve from problem to problem, I never thought about writing what I've learned down but you're right, totally should
You can sometimes write what you learnt in the comments itself. So when you revisit the code you remember where you made the mistake earlier and now see whether you have learnt it or not. Just a suggestion
This is best, most refreshing and amazing video I have seen in a while. Such depth in everything You said yet so much fun. Its incredible. Keep Inspiring!!
I think this is my first comment ever and I must say 🤯- this video totally deserved it. Videos usually beat around the bush but you got straight to the point and gave great info. Absolutely thankful!!
no don't bruh... it's really not that hard. It just takes effort. Just like anything in life... Like the people who come up with these terms just make it sound hard but it's really not. Like recursion is just "looking inside, what you're looking inside, what you're looking inside etc. until you find what you are looking for". A stack is just a stack. Like a stack of papers. If you add a piece of paper to the stack, it goes to the top of the stack. If you want to remove a piece of paper from a stack, you remove it from the top of the stack. A queu is just a line. Like I'm not gonna go and explain everything but they are all so easy but just come with names that make it sound hard and as if theres a lot.
Life in general is like an interview process and vise-versa. You kind of need to know what you are dealing with. 1. Break Down Problems be it an interview or life 2. Understand Fundamental Blocks of each sub problem 3. Try to find easiest solution first and see if it solves your sub problem 4. Try and think of ways to do it better and keep improvise
Wow, what a seriously valuable video! Most of the videos like this are "practice your algorithms and data structures. Don't feel bad when you get to eat, go up there and get what you want. Thanks for watching." This had such a meaningful approach and I will be coming back from time to time when I need a pointer on what topic to hit next.
Wow. Great video. I love the use of what may seem like cliches but when you've explained and broken down the ideas in such an efficient, clear and concise manner I have to say this is absolute gold. Truly appreciate this video. Truly great work
By far, the best video on the subject matter I have come across. (Videos by Tech Lead and Clement included). Watching it so many times and it seems fresh (100% informative) each time.
Bro , no one , i mean no one can beat the way you present your content and edit your videos ... no wonder you cracked those company interviews... You Earned a new sub today 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You're such an inspiration man! I'm also pursuing Computer Science but I find it difficult. I really learn so much from your videos. Keep up the good work. Also, make more MEMES.
Hi Chris, I have never felt like replying after watching a youtube video. But, after watching this video, I can't help appreciating your content :). This is the most helpful information. Keep Rocking!!
Been working from last 4 years as a Software Engineer doing mostly development around web but never had enough confidence in problem solving as in terms of DSA. I am gonna give it a thought now because this is the first time someone has explained these things with proper reasoning and i guess it makes more sense to "put yourself in the ring if you want to win the fight or just even fight". Thanks Chris!
Bro, this is gold. I will say I have always recommended these types of tools coming from the top universities. glad to see that I was going in the right path.
I first watched this video as I was preparing for my technical interview to get into bootcamp and several months later I’m watching it as I am preparing for my Google technical interview. I’ve watched a lot of these sorts of videos on RU-vid and this is hands-down the most strategic, informative and motivating video of this kind. Thank you!
Man you are so so so amazing. Love you man. I have literally watched a hundreds and hundreds of videos on what to learn, what cs student should do, how to crack a coding interview bla..bla..bla.blaaaaaaa But this is the only video I truly appreciated. Not only you told the technical stuff but also the human things are so true and I have just saved this video and gonna watch every single time I just break or get too bored and would be seeing how much more I need to prepare. Once again you are awesome man!!!
I liked the way in which the video is structured, its really thought-provoking and answers the general queries to the point. Keep up the good work bro!!!
It's 12 noon. I haven't slept yet. Been using Pomodoros and ADHD Focus Music (from RU-vid) to get homework done. Did alright these past few days. I really like how you break everything down in this video. Goodnight. See you at around 7pm.
When you are on point and dont waste viewers time like in this video you get not only likes but also subscribers easily. Great job on explaining the process!
This is the first video I have seen on this channel. I hit the sub button at 0:07 cuz I knew anyone with such a proper meme reference and honesty in the opening is gonna be legit. P.S - great content, appreciate it
I wish this video existed a year ago when I interviewed for Google 😩. But I have another interview for the Google Software engineering internship in 2 weeks so this was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!!
I think one of the biggest secrets to getting unstuck is to not panic. Small amounts of stress can increase focus, but there's a tipping point where you start to get stuck in the details and lose that big-picture awareness which is absolutely essential for solving novel, difficult problems. For me, this is 100% where mindfulness shines.
Man the gold part on this video is when you said you finish a problem and then ask yourself: What could I improve on my solution? Since I heard that from yesterday I've been doing it. I mean, I was KIND OF doing it but if my solution was making me happy I was not trying to improve it too much (like for example improve memory from O(N) to O(1)). Now that I've been asking myself that question for every problem I've realized two or three cool things already... in basically two days :) . Keep doing these videos!
I've read through this comment several times and it's still extremely motivating for me. Glad you found this helpful! Happy to see you around the channel - keep up the good work and good luck on your interviews!
Really good shit my dood. First time seeing your videos and though I’m not used to the memeyness, the content is very good. I like your video cause it’s less about the coding questions and more of learning how to prepare for the real whiteboard interview
Hi Chris. Thank you so much.you are amazing.would you please make a video about how you start programming and what was your path,struggles and motivation? Thanks a lot ❤️😘❤️👩🏻💻
