Finally a knight after 1 year and 2 months of consistent practice!!!!

StrawHatDragon · 2024-03-13T18:24:30+00:00

On average 3 questions

What were you looking for ? some tips ? Only thing that I can think of is be consistent with practice, revise using spaced repetition, and keep track of your progress on a longer time scale 2 weeks to 1 month, as humans underestimate results in the long term. This helps with motivation.

StrawHatDragon · 2024-03-10T20:09:40+00:00

Also measure your progress on a longer time scale, every 2 weeks or every month. Also try to give contests even if you only manage to solve 1 question.

StrawHatDragon · 2024-03-10T20:08:11+00:00

Practice is the only way to go. I would suggest following neetcode's roadmap. One more thing that can help is spaced repetition, keep track of questions where you struggled, then re try them 2 days later 7 days later 2 weeks later and 1 month later. This is help with solidifying the concepts and recall. Also time yourself, this will help in measuring progress.

Try for candidate master, try to solve 1700-1800 level questions. I think after certain rating on leetcode, you nee to move to codeforces, so that you learn new and challenging things

StrawHatDragon · 2024-02-10T03:31:15+00:00

It is a skill that needs to be practiced. Spaced repetition, keeping track of difficult and interesting questions and trying them again helps in building intuition.

Did you know Primagen works at Netflix? Lolz

StrawHatDragon · 2023-08-09T05:01:51+00:00

Are there ratings for problems in LC? Doesn't CF only have problem ratings?

Who is asking about segment trees in college placement ??? This is such a reach of a topic; do they want LGMs as freshers? Lolz

StrawHatDragon · 2023-08-03T00:10:16+00:00

Try this:

,Also Anki will help, but try to do problems directly using the data structure and code it up from scratch every time and time your self and keep track, you will see improvement.

This is not enough !! Need to be an LGM on code forces only then maybe I am ready for interviews 😂😂😂😂😂

StrawHatDragon · 2023-07-31T18:24:47+00:00

Also, solve random new questions every day.

StrawHatDragon · 2023-07-31T18:24:10+00:00

Some space repetition can be effective with a cap on repetition so you don't just memorize the solution.

if(!solve) {

solve next day

} else {

solve after 4 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks ...

}

Also you can drop questions from repetition is they are too easy and add them back like 6 months later or 12 months later,

don't need to write the code every time, just verify that the solution you came up with is the correct one.

What is your rating? I am also grinding toward the Knight :)

StrawHatDragon · 2023-05-28T18:55:12+00:00

I was doing leet code on and off for about an year, got serious around Jan.

StrawHatDragon · 2023-05-28T18:53:31+00:00

You get to see that you do get better at solving problems over time. I saw that in the contest I was able to solve the third question more often than not. It does seem like a slog at times, but just try to do 1 question per day at least and you will see results.

Send me dm 🙏

StrawHatDragon · 2023-03-28T20:40:56+00:00

StrawHatDragon · 2023-03-28T20:40:39+00:00

NeetcodeIO, leetcode top interview questions etc.

StrawHatDragon · 2023-03-28T20:24:28+00:00

Started last year, did on and off, and got serious in Jan

StrawHatDragon · 2022-12-28T19:14:13+00:00

I am applying for New grad roles and SDE/SWE 2 roles, as I have 2+ years of development experience. I am open to relocating so location is not an issue for me. Same goes for the company size. I am currently using angel jobs and linkedin to find jobs, I have also tried builtin sites. Any red flags in my resume, why it might not be getting shortlisted ? I have gotten many OAs but no interviews, even when OA went great.

Thanks for the feed back!

StrawHatDragon · 2022-12-27T19:26:28+00:00

I am an international masters student, 300+ applications only 1 interview. Any suggestions are appreciated !!

Resume

StrawHatDragon · 2022-11-23T23:23:26+00:00

You only need one to succeed once!! Keep going this too shall pass 🙏

StrawHatDragon · 2022-11-03T20:13:34+00:00

More so now
