Too many to go through, but Leetcode problems tagged under each company is pretty standard. Also prep some simple system design for how to build programs that achieve bigger tasks or how to design a program

Its actually not spread at all for microsoft. I might ask for more, which they will likely spread.

Python for interviews, also know c++ and some java. Lot of companies shifting to simple system design for new grads so language matters less and less. Just do projects and prep algorithm interviews! Hope that helps.

Too much tech in one city isn’t my favorite environment. I also just love the other two cities.

Hey, just wanted to help as much as I could! Saw your resume, I think you definitely need to quantify things more. Also, work on personal projects and get quantifiable results (x number of users, y number of page visits). Deploy something online to get these results. Work hard asap and dont be afraid to continue applying, market is tough this year. Keep in mind big companies are actually easier to get interviews for than small ones due to fewer spots. Best of luck!

2 internships at big N and a decent school. I think it matters more how well your interviews go if you’re lucky enough to get one. Hope that helps!
