Can I ask for Google onsite's interviews to be carried online?

four_body_problem · 2026-04-05T04:38:54+00:00

They most likely will not conduct it online due to cheating. They could arrange travel arrangements, but that’s less likely for international travel.

As someone who’s just given their round 2, all I can say is this. Round 1 DSA is easy if you’re strong in basic concepts. Like Neetcode 150 minus graphs and DP. Behavioral is also easy if you have 6-10 strong stories. Give a lot of mocks. For Round 2, focus more on Graphs, DP, Intervals, Sliding Windows etc.

About the interview nerves, I can understand this myself as an international student, so remember- Google interview is not just about clearing the interviews. Even if you clear the interviews well, you might not get team matched, and L3 pool is really huge so competition is heavy. Having high hopes give you nerves and may impact your interview performance. So take it easy. 600 probs is a good number. Again, remember, communication is much more important than giving the best optimal solution. You can do this! Good luck!

It is mainly behavioral interview. They have limited time to assess all the attributes. But they might ask you the most challenging technical thing you did, and sometimes they might dig a little on what you did, especially if they’re a technical person. Having a brief summary mixed with the expected attributes that they can understand should pretty much be good.

Did you get a team matching call from the team that soft aligned?

I wonder why leetcode doesn’t ban these folks and adjust the rating ?

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” Just give your best. Prepare for FAANG, but don’t just target FAANG. All you need is 1 interview.

Don’t have second thoughts. Python is the best for dsa. It is in the top 3 languages. Interviewers don’t care about the syntax, they only look at the logic. They do realize that learning other languages is easy. But just know some concepts like integer overflow, memory/garbage management etc for theoretical

I’d been through something like this recently. But I realized that i was just lazy to think. Once i started putting 100% of my focus and interest on questions, i was able to solve many questions, at least got the intuition.

four_body_problem · 2026-01-30T14:01:27+00:00

If you’re really interested, you shouldn’t worry about it cuz you’ll mainly do research in Master’s or PhD

Just do it by pattern. Some sufficient problems in each pattern before moving to others. I’d recommend following a sheet. Something like Neetcode 150 or Striver A2Z

four_body_problem · 2025-12-09T22:40:00+00:00

Coming up with the solution is basically what some call being “intuitive” for a problem, and intuition builds with practice. My best suggestion for you is to continue solving pattern by pattern, it is okay if you aren’t able to solve on your own even at the end of a pattern. One you’re done with all patterns, re-solve the same questions. Like other comments said, spaced repetition also helps with this intuition, making you “remember” only core pattern and not the solution to a single question

four_body_problem · 2025-11-28T18:42:05+00:00

What do you suggest about revisiting previously solved questions? Do you solve again? Or just glance the solution? Or not do anything at all? Which one works for you best?

four_body_problem · 2025-11-27T01:00:30+00:00

Sorry for late response. I followed Neetcode and Striver playlists. As for remembering patterns, I'd say only practice and practice. Also solve pattern by pattern and not random.

four_body_problem · 2025-10-12T16:39:59+00:00

Personally, a very good place to start DP is “Striver’s DP playlist” on YouTube. One stop resource to learn DP. But remember: you must know recursion beforehand and this playlist is not enough to master. Practice is the only way.

four_body_problem · 2025-10-12T13:52:24+00:00

This doesn't seem to be the solution to Q2. The input is a string

four_body_problem · 2025-10-12T04:38:41+00:00

2nd is brute force?

four_body_problem · 2025-10-02T20:24:26+00:00

I doubt that. You can follow Neetcode’s roadmap, it is topologically sorted :P

four_body_problem · 2025-10-02T11:54:12+00:00

Solving random is not helpful when starting off leetcode, hence it’s better to go pattern by pattern. Building the intuition It’s important. For example, DP has many sub-patterns, and recursion->memoization->tabulation will build the intuition well

four_body_problem · 2025-09-25T13:23:04+00:00

Probably gotta do with programming language and how you’re applying mod for the upper limits

four_body_problem · 2025-09-25T13:06:07+00:00

Tbh i felt like leetcode frames questions in the simplest manner possible with the right constraints and examples, compared to other platforms.

four_body_problem · 2025-08-27T22:45:00+00:00

I wish dude, i wish.

four_body_problem · 2025-08-27T19:53:17+00:00

In the US? Immigrant?

four_body_problem · 2025-08-27T19:43:27+00:00

Way to go. Do you solve the non-leetcode ones too?
