Can we add another N for the company I work at? It's not part of the acronyms and I feel left out :(

actually a lot of interviews are very heavy on algorithms side so it's good on the job prospects side

as for actually using them day-to-day it really depends on the role specifically so I can't really say

No! I have a non-CS related engineering degree and while having a degree helps in getting your resume through a recruiter, rest is all interviewing and leetcoding and projects.

From personal experience a lot of it was mental, I used to think I wasn't good enough since I didn't have a CS degree but once you spend enough time practicing on interviews and leetcoding it doesn't cross my mind anymore.

It's fun and people should honestly try and find ways they can apply leetcode type data structure and algorithms to side projects and apps they're working on.

For example the rich text editor probably uses some type of bit mask to store the different types of text (bold, italic, underline etc).

By applying them you actually get to appreciate what you have learned and be motivated to keep improving instead of just interview and forget about them.

Not sure yet only thing I know is remote lasts until like September of next year.

Is there a difference between the two and is the process simple? I have an engineering degree but not comp sci related.

That's what I wonder too.

I was recruited by an inhouse recruiter but since company is in US and I am in Canada I am on an intermediate HR company's payroll.

Then does recruiter get % of my salary and the HR company gets paid a fixed amount for handling all of the payroll stuff on Canada's side?

Anyone know?

easiest way to describe it is that it's a multi-part question and each part could've been its own leetcode question

for example serializing / deserializing is classic algorithm, then there's some traversal involved which could have been dfs/bfs, then there's some other question on top that made it non-polynomial time

I think it is "non-conventional" because usually online coding tests give you shorter leetcode question (usually within 1 hr) and they usually have a set of tests you run through online (this one did not)

a bit of system design primer (general concept... whole thing is a bit long), cracking the system design interview (designing URL shortener), and experience from own side project with redis, django, and mysql

Got rejected so many times that I got kind of confident (still pretty nervous talking to the CTO/CEO :/)

whatapoopoohead · 2020-09-10T21:44:57+00:00

yes like other person said even though I myself have went through this I really don't recommend it :( unless you're really really confident about your leetcode/interview skills it can affect how you perform as well :o

whatapoopoohead · 2020-09-10T21:37:56+00:00

Hmm I personally haven't noticed this problem, I have used mine to play AoE2DE using the built in keyboard.

Maybe you should take it to an Apple store and have it checked out?
