Google on-site

I plan on reading CLRS and doing google specific questions on leetcode

This is not an optimal strategy for Google, let me explain why

P.s: move the messaged to this Google thread, so others in the same process can easily find it

The Google interview is very interactive. It isn't just a case of "here's this problem, solve it, and if you code up an optimal solution, you're good." They really care about the thought process, i.e., how you think and your ability to communicate and demonstrate this reasoning. This is in stark contrast to the interview process at Meta.

So, I'm not saying reading the "Intro to Algorithms" book is bad, nor is doing Google-specific questions on LeetCode a bad idea. But whatever your prep plan is, it must involve you solving problems under pressure with a human simulating the Google style. One big part of this is that, after solving a problem, they can throw in new information or constraints and then see how you adapt.

Would be good for you to outline a prep plan, and then use that to determine how much time you need. Make sense?

What level is this for? @soft adder

I thoguht reading the book would me a good idea since it would allow me to get my fundamentals down pat. I would of course do practice interviews on praamp (although that kinda sucks) as well

I am so lost on how to prepare for this.. I assume I have like a month to prep
