I found that non-fang companies will tend to ask DP problems more often

@phoneix24886 Месяц назад

Dynamic programming is very important in Indian SWE interviews. You will get atleast 1 DP in any one of the rounds. Its usually some variations of LCS or Buy and Sell stocks. I think top 10 most important are: Array, Matrix, Hashing Two pointer & Sliding window Tree Graph DP LinkedList Heap Merge intervals Prefix sum Some variation of binary search

In indian interviews, Do you usually get at least a lean hire or hire if you solve the problem with the naive approach but were not able to optimise it?

I want to set up a club, but I am not a college student. i passed out in 2021 in mechanical engineering in Delhi India. around till 1.5 years i tried different things, like preparing for masters, mba, for government exams etc. until i started to learn how to code. for one year i learnt all these different technologies through an online certificate course. Its been almost 2 months since that was over. have been applying consistently to jobs, trying leetcode. But i jave not been able to come up with a routine and stick to it. i am turning 25, 3 years since graduation and no job experience yet. It's my own fault wasting my time overthinking, but i keep trying to do stuff. I feel i don't know what I am doing half the time. i do not knoe anyone else who is in my situation. so for now, I prepare alone.

Thanks bruh, most of the things you said seem to resonate with me. I had a hard time figuring out leetcode then solving problems, then I promised myself to do better and I did almost 300 probs and lost motivation cuz, I wasn't able to solve mediums consistently your video helped me get back on track.

I am a bootcamp graduate who has been struggling to get a job. It was made known to me by a recruiter that my leetcode skills were the thing that holds me back. There are companies where you get a leetcode problem before you ever talk to a human being.

@gokukakarot6323 20 дней назад

Students can solve leetcode problems, given that this is pretty well known thing, starting for 1st year, in a year or two, there is so much time in the world. Senior devs got it the worst, the part where you have to rediscover the understandings of some problems, coz out of practice for years at stretch.

So on the Pareto problem set what do the blue numbers mean? They are not unique and they don’t seem to match leetcode problem numbers…. How do I find the leetcode problem you are referencing?

Always remember, getting good at leetcode is doing just that. It's getting better at leetcode. It doesn't necessarily make you a good dev at a company.

Just because a problem doesn't have a solution doesn't mean we should fallback to the "Game". If everyone becomes a conformist, that leaves no room for creativity.

I have a question? Can you use Sudo code to solve some of these Leet Code problems. Using Sudo code and AI so you are language independent. You understand the concept and generate the syntax using AI?

@user-he4st2ro5h Месяц назад

Why? The whole point is to get used to a real world language, which you are gonna be using at your future work. Start off with Python, basically it’s called the executable pseudo code

@patrickjreid 5 дней назад

I think seudocode is brilliant. Its basically his pen and paper step. Its really really important to to be able to think through problems in english. That concept was invented by Grace Hopper, and she is why we don't code in binary.

This guy is completely wrong. It doesn't make any good if you learn the most frequent questions and your own interview has one of the less frequent questions! That's why you need to practice as many as possible, not just the ones in a particular list.
