I interviewed with Ads Platform in May

had a lc hard and 2 Low Level Design rounds

[tropic tree]

damn, any tips how to prep - any specific algos/data structures ?

[tropic tree]

i heard apple is ez like they dont ask lc hard but maybe i'm wrong now

[gaunt kiln]

maybe i was unlucky

i used grokking for the lld

i think those went better than the lc

i'm like 60% sure it was an untagged hard when i went to check it on lc

i cant remember the question but i know it had a backtracking solution

solved it with dp with a minute to go but i guess that wasn't enough

even the interviewer told me "this is a pretty hard question so dont worry"

[tropic tree]

would u say doing neetcode is enough ?

[tropic tree]

did u run the code too or it was more like just text editor ?

[gaunt kiln]

That’s all I did for practicing for lc

[gaunt kiln]
