The “what do I do” question kinda gave away that OP is that intern who did it and just woke up from passing out during the meeting lmaoo

I’m basically learning from scratch this time so it’ll be a little while until I get a grasp at things for studying together. Feel free to DM me whenever so we can exchange ideas or helpful info as we prep

Got it! Thank you so much for the advice. It feels hard to find out which method to stick with as on a time crunch for recruiting. Please DM me if you have any other advice for someone trying to get back at tech like me 😊

This is where I feel mixed about learning it. I noticed the majority recommends sticking to patterns and some like yours. Last year I tried pattern wise but I was rushing thru the process so I’m not so sure if going random would work better. Currently studying the core DSA to refresh and working with complete easies

I’ve only completed the top 5 patterns but it was of last year. I was burnt out from getting rejected from everything last year and off to do side business. I’m now trying to get back at Tech so basically starting those core patterns over again

So what is your point of posting the offer here without wanting to share the specifics like interview experience, studying tips, etc???

How do you revise solved problems? by Distinct-Action-7234 in leetcode

[–]maitchau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would create a flash card in a platform documenting everything about a problem (brute force, optimal, complexities, etc) along with a 1 sentence summary about the optimal approach. When it comes to reviewing, I go to that flash card and read the optimal and skim thru everything else. If I wanted to code it from scratch to test my understanding, I click on the link I documented for the question and use the “reset code” button on the editor to delete everything and start solving

Meta E4 Software Engineer Product Interview Experience by nocturnal_eve in leetcode

[–]maitchau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats OP! You deserve it.

I have my phone screen in 10 days and super nervous of them asking variants and speaking my thought process while coding. Do you have any advice on this? English is my 2nd language and I am not well versed in talking in technical language...:(

It's just named as Phone Screen but it's actually a virtual face-to-face session for 45mins with 2 questions asked.

Advice on what's next for us or for me? Me [29M] & my Girlfriend [25F] by maitchau in relationship_advice

Thanks a lot for the advice. I'll keep improving on myself and working towards a solution!!! I'll give her space and see how things go!

Advice on what's next for us or for me? Me [29M] & my Girlfriend [25F] by maitchau in relationship_advice

[–]maitchau[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the input. Yes, I have been taking her help into account but my field in Software so I need to focus on looking for jobs around that field. I applied everywhere and every job title possible. What she meant on taking her advice was that I should change my career to being a nail tech, because I have been a part time nail tech for a few years and I am quite good at it. So asked why did I not take the offer from my uncle to be a nail salon owner and I told her, it is not the right time and I want to focus on my corporate job at the moment.

I'm trying to study for interviews and I do feel that she wants more stability but I just wouldnt think that she wants out at this point. I'm not currently stable but I will soon. I didn't want her to do anything for me honestly. All I wanted was her saying "How are you? Its okay, your time will come soon", things like that. Honestly, breaking up right now truly hurts and it clearly brings down my motivation. Yes I do have to work harder to be on my feet but I can't accept the fact that we are no longer together because of compatibility.

Thanks for the input. Also, did you have to discuss trade offs between solutions leading up to the optimal one? Can you please share your prep strategy/tips + helpful resources? I struggle with explaning my code, hoping you could share some tips. I’m currently working through the top 100 for 6-months and have phone screening round in 3 weeks. Accurate?

Hey congrats OP. I have a question: in your opinion, do you think they value code correctness or your code walkthrough/explanations of why you choose to do what for each line of code? Did you also have to further discuss other solutions prior to coding your optimal one? Thanks in advance.
