LeetCode-Solutions VS system-design-primer

The first thing that comes to mind when you want to start solving LeetCode problems is to open the problems page https://leetcode.com/problemset/all/ and start solving them sequentially. However, it's not a great idea, even if you filter for easy problems, because many tasks labeled as easy are quite challenging. This can be demotivating and even lower your self-esteem.

bro, my advice is to join a company as an intern and then work your way up from there! if you know the basics and know how to use the internet to solve your coding problems then you are golden. don't worry about qualifications cause when it comes to landing a job what matters is skills and how confident are you! watch some YouTube tutorials / read code/practice on leetcode also make a LinkedIn account and be on the lookout for internships. Good luck fam!

If you view the list here: https://leetcode.com/problemset/all/ you will see the questions tagged by company (there is a paid option as well). If they have a name you know, they probably do this style of interview.

To practice coding problems, have a look at leetcode and don't be overwhelmed by it, start with easy problems and move on as you feel confortable. The "solutions" tab at each problem can help you learn algorithm related topics.

The Problems page has a "Pick One" button that will select a random problem.

This is the only way to find out how good you are

Here's the classic. Pretty much everyone knows about LeetCode's platform nowadays, and for good reason. It's an expansive library of over 2500 questions grouped into topic-specific lists. Mainly used for interview preparation, it's also a good platform to just spend time working through problems for the sheer knowledge about problem-solving and DSA you'll learn.

there is a search bar under the problems tab

I've been giving interviews for past couple of months and this github repo has helped me so much for system design perspective and I can see myself excelling at interviews. - https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer

You'll be on opiod's probably the first 1-2 days, so sleeping should be fine. Everything will be allright, don't worry too much. Just use the time now to prepare for the time after, make sure you go through post-surgery-essentials thread. Once you are out of the OR you won't have the energy to think about those details, so make sure you take that prep serious.

Tooling isn’t architecture. Figure out what you need to handle both personas and volume/throughput and then lay out the capabilities you’ll need. As you lay out points of ingress, egress, consumption you can start to lay out sequences(think in persona and sequence diagrams to express interactions between services). Lastly, evaluate tools that offer some of these capabilities and weigh the trade-offs (there are always trade-offs: https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer).
