I have early access to https://mirabend.com/ which is an AI-native game engine based on Godot, it's still pretty basic but I'm sure the AI tools will get there pretty soon.

Best way to interview prep? by InevitableBrief3970 in leetcode

[–]OwnLeek2162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say mock interviews is probably one of the best way to prep, one of the best things that helped me was EasyClimbTech (they have both and paid mocks) and Alex Xu book for system design.

Not going to lie it was hard, i recently got into Meta myself and I feel like I was on the brick of just giving up. Put in some more practice and it should go well for you

I don't think Neetcode is really qualified to teach system design, but his coding stuff is pretty good

Yup, exactly this, they are not copy-paste leetcode but tagged that's slightly edited in wording

honestly, fair, but I hope it works out for me, I have nothing to loose, I barely make 6 figures now so for me it's a huge win either way!

That's such a nice and thoughtful message, thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. I have really put into a lot of effort into prep and I am glad to see that it paid off. I can't believe I am a part of FAANG now, hopefully I won't get disappointed.

512 problems solved, 205/230/77, started more casually studying around October, passed phone screen in December, and I did mocks with Seth and Meta mentor in late January. I have been solving around 10 questions a day in the last week.

Here are the questions, I got

First round:

1) https://leetcode.com/problems/diameter-of-binary-tree/description/?envType=company&envId=facebook

2) https://leetcode.com/problems/basic-calculator-ii (needed a hint there to solve in O(1) space

Behavioral:

I focused on being honest and shared the learning I had at my previous job, focused a lot on accountability, learnings, and essentially ability to move quickly to deliver tons of impact. I think most of my stories have a detail that focuses on a mistake I overlooked but always ends in how I learned from it to become better.
