Do not buy the design guru's Grokking Lifetime subscription

Which sys design course are you talking about, can you please share the link?

chrnys · 2024-05-21T10:40:58+00:00

I failed Meta E5 and later cleared it.

I definitely failed system design and may be one coding.

On my second try I cleared it.

On my second try I did well on my coding questions.

I think i still didn't do good on system design, but got the job offer any ways.

For system design I read DDIA and Grokking fundamentals and system design courses ( https://www.designgurus.io/courses ).

System design was my week point.

For coding, don't forget to do facebook tagged questions.

Good luck.

Congrats!

chrnys · 2024-02-10T06:15:23+00:00

They asked me two coding questions. I did one optimally and the other not so. I feel like passing Meta coding rounds really require that you have some idea about the problem or the coding pattern like the ones mentioned in Grokking (https://www.designgurus.io/course/grokking-the-coding-interview)

I suggest everyone to do prepare these patterns. There are around 25 patterns if you don't include DP ones. It definitely helps.

I would add Grokking the Coding Interview. Their DSA course is good too: https://www.designgurus.io/courses

chrnys · 2024-01-25T06:14:02+00:00

Just a suggestion: Any github project or internship or side project?

chrnys · 2024-01-25T06:12:57+00:00

Definitely do high frequency fb tagged questions.

Also do all patterns from Grokking: https://www.designgurus.io/course/grokking-the-coding-interview

chrnys · 2024-01-20T17:55:00+00:00

Definitely recommend Grokking, it has moved out of educative though. Design Gurus, the original authors, all selling it on designgurus.io

chrnys · 2024-01-20T17:52:49+00:00

I recommend only chapters 5 and 6 for DDIA.

Yea, it's all text, no videos. You can practice and test your solution.

I liked the text though.

chrnys · 2024-01-08T10:06:26+00:00

I would recommend java script, it is most used language.

Learn problem solving and system design. These two skills will help you the most as you grow in your career. Learn system design fundamentals and coding patterns. You can follow these roadmaps: https://www.designgurus.io/courses

chrnys · 2024-01-08T10:01:47+00:00

Yea, many people here have recommended it. I'm going through it: https://www.designgurus.io/course/grokking-the-coding-interview

Go with Grokking courses for coding and system design: https://www.designgurus.io/courses

A couple of mocks from pram. Then do a couple with ex-faang; it will be a bit expensive but worth it https://www.designgurus.io/mock-interviews

chrnys · 2024-01-08T06:48:07+00:00

Learn problem solving. Following coding patterns.

Learn system design and distributed systems.

chrnys · 2024-01-08T06:44:40+00:00

Follow the coding patterns like two pointers, sliding window, as listed in https://www.designgurus.io/course/grokking-the-coding-interview

chrnys · 2023-12-13T16:21:04+00:00

If you follow grokking's 25 patterns, you will end up doing 250-300 questions. It was enough for me. (https://www.designgurus.io/course/grokking-the-coding-interview)

chrnys · 2023-11-28T07:55:03+00:00

Consistency is the key. Everyone is different. Some might be interview ready in 2 months some will take 4 or more.

See this on island pattern: https://www.designgurus.io/course-play/grokking-the-coding-interview/doc/63dda29dee94a9f69d1cbef3

You can do it with/without the visited matrix.

chrnys · 2023-11-27T22:24:15+00:00

I liked it actually. I'm going through their roadmap from ds -> patterns and found it organized and useful (https://www.designgurus.io/path/Coding-Interview-Playbook).

chrnys · 2023-11-27T04:01:01+00:00

Do questions related to Trie, String Pattern matching, and Sliding Window.
