"Coding is basically pure intelligence. They're testing your pure intelligence, your IQ" Ah f***, I'm screwed :/

[@brownie004]

Yeah, we all are

[@nolanrudolph5463]

If you're not applying to FANG they keep the questions at what would be considered "Leetcode Easy", which most programmers can solve or get close to solving in the allotted time. If you can't, a really simple solution is just practice 3 leetcode easy problems a day. Once you get into FANG, you'll begin facing "Leetcode Medium" questions in interviews. Honestly, just learn how versatile data structure and algorithms are and you'll begin to see patterns in problems. The most CRUCIAL advice I can give you is to practice with a friend and do mock interviews to each other. This is because half the coding interview is evaluating if you can solve the problem and the other half is judging how easy you would be to work with (i.e., how well you convey your thought process).

He said in a video that he made the previous ones against his will, because he had a contract and had to do them.

Context is important though. This is an 8.5 min video. The same ad length also runs on his videos ranging from 15 to 20 minutes. Meaning 1/6th to 1/8th of his videos are ads. He also had to support himself somehow. KZbin provides this great option to skip though the video at your own free will.

I quited my job without an offer before. The first two months felt great. Then the anxiety and stress began to kick in, I eventually managed to land myself a decent job 6 months into being jobless. Looking back, it was a tough time, but I learnt a lot during that 6 months break. Would I do it again? Probably not. Two advices for people who are in similar situations - 1. keep a healthy routine and stick with it. 2. Don't post your emotions on social media - cuz I can almost guarantee you would regret it afterwards. Keep walking, Joma.

[@kurosenpai]

i feel you because i was retrenched and unemployed for 4 months. It was a tough 4 months for me. Its hard to motivate yourself and i was on the verge of insanity for staying at home playing games and watching anime. I went for fuck ton of interviews. I even had to take vacation because I couldnt stand looking at my home everyday for 4 months and thank god after I went back from vacation I got a job from one the hundreds of the interviews that i went. One thing i learned from this is that work stress gives you money, unemployed stress gives you absolute HELL

One tip for anyone griding leetcode for interview: do not just practice on leetcode! Broaden the scope of your training. This really bit me in the ass on my last interview. I got asked a question that involved bipartite matching (max flow algorithm) and I never even saw a bm problem on LC. This problem caused me to fail the interview. My advice is to do the following in addition to leetcode: - Read about your language of choice, if you chose C++, learn about STL algorithms and containers, smart pointers, lambda functions, return value optimization, string streams, etc. Yes, I actually got asked about this on many occasions. - Learn some less known algorithms and data structures, bipartite matching that I mentioned above is one, but there are also Tries, segment trees, fenwick trees, KMP algorithm, rabin-karp, suffix arrays, etc. The thing is, EVERYONE is solving leetcode problems, you need something that can set you apart from the crowd, applying one of these algorithms to a problem is big bonus points. Good luck on your preparations and hope you get the job you want!

I'm also a huge fan of the enhanced pomodoro techique, 5-10 minutes of work, 30 minutes of whatever you want. The great thing about it is if you do manage to get a whole hour worth of work done all in one go, you're good for a whole week!
