LEETCODE STRATEGY FOR 2024 | MY PERSONAL APPROACH WHICH GOT ME FAANG OFFERS | END TO END ADVICE

Today we are doing a video on my no-nonsense guide to Leetcode. The purpose of this video is to hopefully guide you through the steps of going from total beginner to getting hired. I won't sugar coat things, sell you fake dreams/promises, or try to sell you a course. This is the exact approach I've used to pass my interviews and get offers.

Of course it may not work for you. There's no one-size-fits-all solution here and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. This guide should hopefully give you an idea of how to approach this grind from start to finish and what you should be doing at each stage.

Beautiful video.
I started as newbie over a year ago and have practiced almost every day since then.
Couldn’t even solve basic Two Sum😅 back then.
Im still not perfect now…not even close to where I want to be but I have improved immensely over the past year. Can solve easies now and 50%-70% of most mediums I come across.

It takes a lot of practice but it is absolutely doable💪🏾

More than one third of Non FAANG companies I interviewed with asked me leetcode questions (half of them are leetcode hard) too. It's probably because a lot of those employees were ex-FAANG companies.

The hard truth is hard to find and see, thanks for the clean, hard, but real path! Cheers!

[TheFlyerkiller]

[HarbiDr]

These are very insightful questions to ask that some may really overlook e.g. inward honesty

[annlaosun]

Thank you so much. I was about to schedule my interview. I did not know I can schedule one to two month later. Thank you for the valuable tips!.

[rekeo]

Thank you for your videos. I have been following you for a few months and really love your frank way of talking and being realistic.

[JRivero]

I love your honesty. This is one of the most useful videos you have posted. Thanks so much for this.!

[mohamedmacow]

Probably your best video yet! Can you make a video on how to move from junior to senior - what changes to mindset etc does it take?

[LeandroLima]

This video is so good! Thanks for that! So many precious tips and real/honest advice!

[SatinderSingh]

I have a spreadsheet where I list all of my questions and notes about their solution that I review often. I'm at 182 questions so far. Great advice in your video. I use the neetcode roadmap with company filtered questions. Will keep on the grind. Love your videos!

[ThisIsntmyrealnameGoogle]

Excellent approach, it boils down to putting the work in and being consistent just like anytihg else.

[dnm]

Jeez Thank you man! You’re appreciated!

[aliz]

Hey man! Thank you so much for your assistance! Did you take advantage of the Meta mock interview by chance? What was your experience? Do you recommend it?

[fateslayer]

Thank you so much for making this video. I was having the some doubts due to my slow progress. I thought I'm just too dumb but this video helped me understand that this process will take some time. You've earned a sub! Keep making such amazing videos.

Whats the software your using to underline and type is it handwritten or typed out I love the font

[yuvrajchauhan]

What resources would recommend for SQL interview prep? Leetcode SQL top 50? If I recall correctly, SQL questions on Leetcode are not company tagged. Thanks once again for a great video!

[biswaMastAadmi]

Insightful input, sir. Appreciate the efforts and suggestions. Thanks again 🙏

[mindrust]

It's interesting how your approach differs from others I've seen. Some people say memorize patterns not solutions, but you go the other way. I say whatever works, works!

Only thing I didn't see you cover is system design -- what are the steps to prepare for that type of interview?
