[fallow zinc]

could you please share what kind of questions you got? thanks (600 is crazy)

[stable ginkgo]

How do you prep?

[wispy valve]

nah, shouldve tho. my room is messy tho 😭

[wispy valve]

didn't just free balled it

yeah

my q4 was annoying tho

maybe could have been prefix sum

but i did binary insert and search

[stable ginkgo]

How many years of not touching grass helped you free ball it?

[wispy valve]

0

[stable ginkgo]

No but seriously, you must've practiced some questions at some point in your life right?

[wispy valve]

oh ya

like not super often

but i've had a couple of spurts on LC

[wispy valve]

ya definitely

mine was super simple, but optimal solution was kinda hard, i would say it was a medium

[stable ginkgo]

You think doing NC 150 is enough to get like a 600 on CS

[wispy valve]

definitely

but only q4 is really a leetcode question

1 and 2 should be free, take 5 mins each

i grinded last feb

i think i did 100 qs in a week

gg

congrats

i just finished 3rd year

my issue is that i always know the algorithm, but it takes a second to implement

[stable ginkgo]

That's super commendable. Did you get full on Codesignal as well?

[wispy valve]

but tbh ya code signal is just about thinking of a decent solution fast

[stable ginkgo]

I see, Thank you

[wispy valve]

1,2,3 don't need to be optimal, or even close

yeah they're light work tho

like my 1 took me 1 minute according to code signal

HAHA fr

i did something like that

i think my spread was 1, 14, 21, 35

LOL

[stable ginkgo]

So basically if you can do NC150 you can pass most FAANG interviews? @wispy valve @limpid scaffold

[wispy valve]

[stable ginkgo]

Wtf. The market is freaking terrible if you all aren't getting FAANG

[stable ginkgo]

Canadian?

[wispy valve]

^^

experience + school + luck + previous FAANG

[stable ginkgo]

Shouldve known

[wispy valve]

took me 1 hour to solve a graph medium today. 😭

i had the right idea, just impl is hard

[stable ginkgo]

You go to loo by any chance?

[wispy valve]

i do not

i go to a mid school

💪
