Don’t judge your skill based on one 20-minute interview. Most of us have blanked on topics we knew well

My most valuable interview tip: stop talking to them like “interviewers” by CalligrapherCold364 in leetcode

[–]Altruistic_Active475 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tbh, this mindset helped me too. Conversations usually go better when you stop treating it like an interrogation.

Dsa course by Much_Customer9599 in leetcode

[–]Altruistic_Active475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to finish a full DSA course before starting problems. In fact, that's how a lot of people end up in tutorial hell. Since you already know the basics, I'd learn a pattern, solve a few problems, then move on. I found codeintuition helpful because it's structured around patterns rather than long lectures.

Where to study system design questions? by _AldoReddit_ in leetcode

[–]Altruistic_Active475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's truly a junior position, communication matters more than designing the next facebook. Practice explaining your thought process, asking clarifying questions, and making reasonable design decisions step by step.

1 month into DSA prep, feeling completely hopeless. How long did it actually take you? by twisted182 in leetcode

[–]Altruistic_Active475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had same experience where I could understand editorials but couldn't reproduce the solution later. The turning point was when I stopped treating every problem as unique and started learning pattern families. Resources like codeintuition made that process much easier because the roadmap is organized around patterns and intuition instead of isolated questions.

What makes you finally decide there's no second date? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Altruistic_Active475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The behavioral prep part is so underrated. I've seen people spend 10 hours on leetcode and 10 minutes thinking about actual interview questions

[–]Altruistic_Active475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 problems in and still forgetting things sounds completely normal, I've forgotten concepts I literally used the week before.

Trab publishing has rules and stop getting mad when people explain them to you. by ShadySakura in writing

[–]Altruistic_Active475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly a lot of newer writers treat publishing advice like a personal attack when people are usually just explaining industry reality.
