When you fail interviews, be honest with yourself and ask why. Most people can do this and it's shortest path to offers

imma grind LC this season and then do competitive programming after i get some offer

so it's okay to not do many problems? What if we have interview soon?
dusk kayak
i actually need to do more leetcode

i feel like i can only get so far with minimal problems solved

don't u have google aviaan

dmed haha hopefully guide is helpful
dusk kayak
there are a lot of topics that were covered during my interview processes + i havent studied at all during the summer @devout fractal so i forgot just about everything
devout fractal
nah and i am lowkey serious cuz i can't get past my medium cieling
lean pewter
@rustic topaz if ur actually serious, i think the best way to improve is to do something challenging and breaking it down step by step rather than looking at discussion post
like if i got stuck on leetcode problem, i would read up on the solution and make myself take notes on the algo/approach used and try to implement on my own and make up my own problems
devout fractal
<@877499029691461683> if ur actually serious, i think the best way to improve is...
i will actually try this, im basically at a plateu rn with medium-hard problems
imma just pray to the lord to give me LC powers
dusk kayak
there is still a level of quantity that is necessary though
hallow scroll
goku should be banned
lean pewter
ya, i think ev doing something u enjoy more once u get decent lc foundation has higher ev than mindlessly grinding lc
dusk kayak
like i did a lot of work on quite a few problems, but since i havent studied enough leetcode if i get anything outside of that range im fucked
i wish i could do LC when i was bored
maybe then i would be nice

exactly, thats why im gonna go back over grokking and do the whole thing this time instead of just cherrypicking certain patterns
tired narwhal
i passed google, tbh is like hard leetcode graphs
hallow scroll
tired narwhal
dfs / bfs once u get good is so many problems
tired narwhal
designguru doesnt have the in built ide but i think is the original author
i like he added the matrix section
honestly a lacking part in the original
prob design guru tho
for that life time access
lean pewter
graphs are p cool, hopefully all this suffering im about to undergo in graph theory will be worth it
dusk kayak
i really want to work on my project vs doing leetcode, but fuck man its interview season so i feel like im trapped
its pretty ass
tired narwhal
lol, yea quality and foundations is best first
lean pewter
yes but i feel like it's such a small set of companies idt it's worth worrying too much about it
dusk kayak
thank you my friend
tired narwhal
imo pure leetcode is like 50-50. some ppl catch on, i see more ppl, just get fucked not understanding what they doing
hallow scroll
no but when you spam ping me 3 times I do
tired narwhal
grokking is best before lc usually
hallow scroll
you need a great resume their resume screen is hardcore
dusk kayak
why is the only way to retain this information to practice it explicitly
its kinda ass

oh what project lol
just something on the side that I really want to flesh out and consider turning into a company
so i dont want to reveal too much
but if i decide to just make it for shits ill show it off in here
i might just go through blind 75 and insta-skip to the solutions
not even try tbh

@tired narwhal would you recommend just doing grokking for learning patterns then?

i need to get at least one big n internship this year
life on the line
yah yah bro, u a big brain, we know
slow quarry

the more people grind LC the higher they have to raise the bar
so now its becoming a higher and higher test if you can grind it (or are cracked as fc)

worst thing is script kiddies who cant do the job
devout fractal
LC monkeys are how us idiots can survive in a world for smart ppl, we gotta survive too

its a lot harder to solve lc hards than memorize whatever bullshit standards a restful api should meet
tired narwhal
nah lol
devout fractal
I got it a month ago, i got rescheduled again

no way someone could do lc hard imo and be an idiot haha
the grindset u would need
