just a bit of ranting (as my current

[tough jewel]

u got this bro just make sure you communicate

make sure you do a lot of arrays/strings too

[dark tide]

ya ive done some, though probably not enough lol. Only time will tell

[tough jewel]

youll do great lmk how it goes

[worthy otter]

what role for, since short of time revise knapsack and string related dp patterns

[dark tide]

Early career non campus

[tough jewel]

yeah ur chances of dp is higher then

[dark tide]

Meh it is what it is.

Worse comes to worse nothing changes and I continue working at my current place, so honestly pressure shouldn't be that high (is what I've been telling myself all day lol

[tough jewel]

you will pass tbh i heard (dont know how true it is tho) that you are allowed to mess up 1/3 technical, as long as u do well on the rest + googlyness

that doesnt seem too bad

[worthy otter]

yup don't pressure ur self have a clear mind that way u can figureout answers.

[fringe basin]

Done so much Dp that now arrays and strings seem hard

Tips on them?

[tough jewel]

bless me with the dp strat

[fringe basin]

Backtracking/recursion (aka check if the answer is about choices), next add memoization, finally turn ur recursion into dp by using the memo instead of the function, u also have the base cases in the backtracking just translate it in terms of dp

Hard to explain but that’s the gist

Works 80% of the time I think

[fringe basin]

Now u bless me with arrays and strings

[tough jewel]

i was joking 😆

but uh from what ive noticed most array questions can be solved with eitehr monotonic/normal stack, two pointers, prefix/suffix or hashmap, sometimes its obvious if its binary search

Idk for strings idrk like u should know tries/using character frequency, sliding window i guess? know robin karp + kmp + manacher

[dark tide]

Now u bless me with arrays and strings

Best strat there is: pray for two sum

[tough jewel]

how did it go bro?

did you kill it

[dark tide]

Think I did alright on 2/3 technicals. Got the solutions + follow ups

3rd one got me though. Couldn't even get the initial solution lol

[tough jewel]

oh no were you able to solve it with hints?

[dark tide]

Nope, completely stumped me lol

I was able to deduce how to start solving the problem but eventually panic set in and it was game over lol

Oh well, better luck next time I guess

[tough jewel]

mind if i dm you more about the interview?

i think if the other two were strong hire you might be fine tbh
