Solving Popular Software Engineering Interview Questions LIVE

I've done over 100 software engineering interviews during this past recruiting cycle and today I'm going to share every single question I've ever gotten. I invite my software engineer friends, Shashank (Microsoft) and Yash (Startup) to attempt these challenging algorithmic problems with me. Watch to see what questions FAANG asks and how great software engineers solve them.

Did you guys over complicate these questions or am I just really prepared for interview? lol Isn’t Q2 just a num islands question easily solved with a dfs, flipping visited ‘cloud’ cells to ‘inf’? Cant Q3 simply be solved by iterating the input, pushing the cmds and numbers onto a stack, when the last 2 Val’s on the stack are nums, pop 3 times, compute and add back to stack? Cant Q3 be solved with a maxheap and list in your ‘stack’ class?

this is why shashank gets the big bucks eh?

Where can I watch the full stream?

would you be interested?

Why you'd want to work at a company that hires like this is beyond me. We've hired 100+ engineers and not once had to do these silly tests.

Hello sir. Sir I am not good at maths so can I learn and practice dsa and actually become good at it??

definitely

technical loops for both are very similar

[@OfficialCheetCode]

Honestly, such coding questions are a waste of time. Most candidates end up memorizing the solutions through hundreds of hours of grinding leetcode. I don't understand what is really being tested. A person who knows nothing about software engineering, but who grinds enough leetcode, can in theory pass most FAANG coding interviews. Kinda pointless in my opinion. I interview candidates by presenting them with buggy code and watching them problem solve, which I think is really the skill we need to be evaluating.

[@namanhkapur]

debugging questions are good for sure, but the sad thing is most companies still ask leetcode questions

[@ranabanerjee3744]

Glad companies ask leetcode… something predictable

[@anton_verdi]

Today you're still unemployed, your LinkedIn account is abandoned after Bolt layout. More than 100 interviews in 50 tech companies with zero result for a person keeping track on every single interview question and filming YT videos? Isn't it a rock bottom? And you're still giving advice? I hope this channel feeds you somehow, good luck!

i have a new job now! video dropping soon

@@namanhkapur for me it is still zero motivation to try this hard. Good luck.
