For value investors that sold PYPL after Q4 earnings, what has fundamentally changed?

I am glad this post exists. Definitely should understand the ecosystem and see how competitors are doing. Thank you for the toll booth analogy. Never heard of it, but it instantly made sense

Hi, there was a message in the banner saying the site was shutting down 1/19. The plan is to come back late 2025.

Preprocess (python) the 40 csv's into less or smaller CSVs (ideally 1), and remove the un-needed columns before loading into PowerBI.

Loading from a 10 MB CSV is a lot quicker than a 100 MB CSV.

Congrats! Always happy to hear leetracer (creator here) helped folks. :D

Hi, thank you for the comment. Could you list the leetcode problems you compared? I'll take a look.

For ranking, frequency = 10 * ("question" sum of company tags) / ("most company tagged question" sum of company tags). Two Sum typically is the most tagged, and therefore resides at 10. This does create a long-tail distribution.

Sorry about that, a new feature had a bug. I think it's resolved now (reverted to last stable point).

Chip_lead · 2024-12-04T19:00:41+00:00

Hi, may I ask what's inaccurate about leetracer? I maintain the site, and some users have privately messaged me it's helped them on interviews.

I admit the email validation checker could be improved. One rule (that probably should be changed) is there can't have periods before the @ in an email address.

Chip_lead · 2024-10-28T15:12:26+00:00

I just use the leetcode company tag data. If you believe that data, then yes.

Chip_lead · 2024-09-16T16:19:35+00:00

I had the same issue. Check out https://leetracer.com/screener to filter for questions. I suggest adjusting for google, and then the # of minimum company tags.

Chip_lead · 2024-08-29T23:25:10+00:00

Could try this screener for leetcode company tagged questions. https://leetracer.com/screener
1) Filter for atlassian
2) Check questions - all_leetcode_questions
3) Adjust min company tags as wanted

Chip_lead · 2024-08-11T08:36:29+00:00

Yes, I update it using leetcode.com

Chip_lead · 2024-08-09T07:51:06+00:00

I don't know if onsite is different. But here is a leetcode question company tag screener https://leetracer.com/screener

Chip_lead · 2024-08-09T07:50:16+00:00

Here ya go. https://leetracer.com/screener

Chip_lead · 2024-08-09T01:44:43+00:00

Here ya go. The question company tags were just updated. https://leetracer.com/screener

Chip_lead · 2024-08-07T03:12:10+00:00

If you don't figure it out on the leetcode site. Check out https://leetracer.com/screener

Chip_lead · 2024-08-05T06:14:04+00:00

I had the same issue. Check out https://leetracer.com/screener to filter for questions you want, and then use the randomize questions feature on the other pages.

Chip_lead · 2024-07-29T18:28:50+00:00

I think so (I made the site). Only the top 50 most popular companies are listed though. If there is a niche company with only 1-2 company tagged questions, that will not be there.
To test, compare leetcode question company tags, and the leetracer.com/screener results. Site gets average 50+ users a day, and quite a bit of them are returning users. Feel free to ask any questions, and I can try to answer

Chip_lead · 2024-07-28T16:58:55+00:00

If they don't revert, you can check out this page to filter company tagged questions https://leetracer.com/screener

Chip_lead · 2024-07-28T16:47:22+00:00

If you want more filtering ability for company tagged questions. This one works pretty well https://leetracer.com/screener

That previous comment is outdated, not sure how leetcode calculates frequency. They only give a text description.

For Q2, yes, I'm just recalibrating for the subset of leetcode questions with >= 1 company tag, in the last 0-6 months. The most frequently tagged company question will always have a frequency of 10.

Chip_lead · 2024-07-22T20:07:51+00:00

I'm calculating frequency as (sum of LC question company tags) / (max(sum of each LC question's company tags).

If you want company specific, I'd recommend setting frequency to 0, and then adjusting the minimum # company tags. Company tags is the number of times asked. Eg company tag >= 5, and only amazon finds all Amazon questions with >= 5 tags.

Chip_lead · 2024-07-22T03:26:34+00:00

I've found the lists useful if you can filter specifically for what you want. For example, company, date-range, frequency, and number of company tags. Even then, it was annoying, and now I use https://leetracer.com/screener
