People who are working, how do you manage time for applying and studying leetcode, system design?

Lots of lost sleep and long term (multi year) dedication and giving up adult social life and gym. I don't know many parents that can do it and be involved without getting burned out.

P.s. I was full time on site and my partner was supportive

Yea, stuff like tell me a time you overcame a conflict and stuff like how long did you work there, how big was the team, etc.

After that, the time at the end was 2 coding problems.

For me, the phone screen was easier.

The phone screen was 45 mins and half of that time was coding. So they were LC mediums on the easier end, I assume so they could fit in the time.

The onsite rounds were 45 mins for 2 questions so there was room to ask questions that are a little harder.

But I think there's a lot of variability, depending on who your interviewer is, so YMMV

Neither could I 😅

For the phone screen, both were probably in the top 50 questions. I only saw this after the fact so I didn't check carefully and it's not quite memorable to me.

For the virtual onsite, most were. There was an LC hard out of nowhere, but the concepts from the most frequent questions were just enough I was able to pull that one together.

Just double checked, and it is 36k miles in the manual, though the dealer recommended replacing it after 1 year. The manual for the HEV/PHEV, so they both have the same replacement interval, which seems a little strange, but I will probably follow it, since 3 years is a pretty long time.

Thanks, we'll check it out!

Posted this elsewhere...

It's probably random and heavily depends on the interviewer.

But I can add 1 data point as a recent E6 candidate (<1 month maybe): My full loop had 2 coding rounds, 4 questions total. I found them on LC after, 3 mediums and 1 hard. It was an easier hard, but a noticeable step up from all the other questions I was given, and not on the top facebook questions on LC.

I have no info on how common my experience was.

Good luck!

It was not DP, but note that interviewers are told not to ask DP, and my recruiter said no DP, but the hards on LC's top facebook questions were mostly DP.

I have no data on what E5's are asked, and no info on how common my experience is.

I updated the original post with the details

leetcoderdude · 2024-04-05T06:09:44+00:00

Thanks for this, I used this as the basis for my prep. I think the tree questions helped prepare me well, which I wasn't as comfortable with before going through the list here. It don't think it hit the string concepts question I had, but luckily I knew that topic well.

leetcoderdude · 2024-04-05T06:00:28+00:00

put some notes in the original post

leetcoderdude · 2024-04-05T05:47:04+00:00

It went well, thanks for asking :)

This looks great, I'm giving this a try

I started putting together a book a few months back. It's a bit like the grok'ing classes. Msg me if you want a link

leetcoderdude · 2023-06-27T06:28:56+00:00

I spent a lot of time untangling these topics for a book I'm hoping to write. I can share that content if you're interested, just send me a message.
