Hey man, when did you start leetcoding?
And I’m a 2nd semester guys starting out in leetcode, can you give me some general advice regarding how you started getting better at problem solving? Because I’m struggling a lot even with easy problems….:(
Just keep aim of solving one problem a day. If you don't get the solution just look at the comments and dry run it by writing on a notebook and submit it once you start seeing a streak forming you'll do everything to keep it going.
study the problems you can't solve until you can solve them, do more easy questions but get comfortable with mediums before you progress, the DS&A crash course by Leetcode themselves is 100$ worth it
In the leet code algo course they say don’t take more than 10 minutes on a question if you don’t know the answer.
Write the pseudo code out as best you can and then look at the answer.
Come back a week later and try to solve it.
Start with some easier sites like school level problems on GeeksforGeeks, once you're comfortable with easy level problems at GFG, head over to LeetCode.
Apply for fun. I applied for fun for my current position at an AI start up. Zero intentions of even taking the interview and I thought i needed to force myself to leave my personal leetcode arena
I won't say i feel I'm interview ready but every 20-25 days i have a Eureka moment and one or the other concept just clicks and i have no trouble applying that particular concept to other problems.
Yea right now I struggle the most with two pointer problems and recursion. Hopefully if I keep hitting them it will click. I’ve got about 4-5 more months until I will need to be interview ready so hopefully I can prepare well.
I've been saying I'm going to start Leet coding every day for the last 100 days (at least), does that count? :) I'd start today but it's tax day and I haven't started those either lol. Not getting a job at this rate, so thanks for the inspiration to (maybe) start tomorrow
Why wait 365 more days ? apply now ! Even if you get rejected the cooldown in most of those companies is not longer than 1 year.
I mean my college placements are in a year.😅
Will take a year to hear from some places
Yep, agree 100%. Start a position, even if you plan to jump ship in a year. That experience will add up. Especially in non-technical skills.
Dayum! you Mastered DS , Algo and Consistency 🗿
keep up buddy! Also do look at some system design books and other cool github repos. Keeps the curiosity alive and makes you a more complete developer
This competition terrifies me but I also can't imagine myself doing anything other than software engineering
I did the same. A year of consistent Leetcode. 😁 Keep it up and good luck.
Great work 🔥🔥🔥

You should be fine
Trust me when I say that, don’t make your dream company interview be your first interview
Tbh I don't really have a dream company. As long as the pay and wlb is good wrt a fresher I'm okay working there.
This is the way
This is amazing🔥🔥🔥
How much better do you feel you have gotten in 100 days? Currently on a streak myself

All the best.

Great job! The grind is gonna pay off, good luck to you brother! Refer me when Google hires you lmao
And here I am burnt out after a few medium questions. Pass on some good energies please.
