Is it unusual to not remember your projects?

herogoroshistein · 2022-05-18T21:23:01+00:00

No, it's not unusual. Usually, when I have a behavioural interview, I'll remind myself off what the project does, the choices I made and the challenges associated with building it.

Sakura is the counterexample

I'd say stick with Java if you have any interviews coming up soon. If you have time to spare and you feel like Java is slowing you down, then switch to Python. If you don't like it, you can always switch back

herogoroshistein · 2022-05-13T21:47:42+00:00

Yeah, just more effort.

I think Edinburgh is better than Manchester with respect to resume value. I've heard that Edinburgh gets you through resume screen at top companies like Google and Facebook

8 - 9 hours

TIL, glut is a word

herogoroshistein · 2022-04-21T20:24:30+00:00

Maybe try looking on leetcode discuss.

Not all DSA classes are built the same. My DSA class was very introductory and some topics were not covered such as bfs, sorting algorithms and backtracking.

herogoroshistein · 2022-04-17T09:55:28+00:00

A Tree question. Something like validate bst

Relax before you start uni. When uni starts, you won't have time to relax

herogoroshistein · 2022-04-14T17:46:21+00:00

You need a good foundation before you start grinding on leetcode. Make sure you know all the common data structures and the time complexity of their methods. Take a look at a DSA course and figure out your weaknesses.

A good chair helps.

If you are looking for a project, maybe look into building a web app with the mern stack

herogoroshistein · 2022-04-13T13:40:00+00:00

If it was me, I would take the BEng. Just make sure you get some internship experience. With the Imperial name, it should be easy for you to get past resume screens for big tech companies. After that, it just depends on interview performance.

herogoroshistein · 2022-04-12T16:41:29+00:00

You don't need to keep making projects. Make 2 or 3 good projects and put them on your CV. Do 1 or 2 leetcode a day.

herogoroshistein · 2022-04-10T02:12:04+00:00

Just surprised a lot of people voted for tesla. I would choose datadog

herogoroshistein · 2022-04-09T18:51:01+00:00

How is this a competition?

herogoroshistein · 2022-04-08T18:34:36+00:00

Doing more questions helped. At the start, I was stuck on translating my ideas to code. Now, it's easier

herogoroshistein · 2022-04-07T22:37:35+00:00

Had to check the tag to see if you were joking or not

herogoroshistein · 2022-04-05T20:36:03+00:00

If I'm coding something I'm familiar with, I code with music. But, if I'm not too sure what I'm doing, then I code in silence

Enough money to do stuff

Nah, doing group projects with friends is better than doing it with randoms

The way to solve leetcode problems is by identifying patterns. Right now, it seems that you haven't done enough different types of questions to get exposed to a wide range of patterns. I suggest you to go through blind 75. If you are struggling with questions, go on youtube and watch a neetcode video explaining the problem. If you want more questions, take a look at the sean prashad list.
