companies that do not whiteboard

You can avoid doing leetcode and get a job by choosing to interview at companies that don't use leetcode style questions as part of the evaluation. This repo contains a list of such companies, https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards

https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards and also focusing on smaller / less sexy companies which pay less.

hiring without whiteboards is the standard resource for this. i see lots of UK companies there, but haven't checked if they're all hiring right now

- you're underpaid - start looking elsewhere, there are tech companies in bhm that will pay more than that and you can get a remote job paying way more than that, the remote stuff is super competitive right now so it may take you until the 2 year mark to find something - i've never needed anything outside of my resume but certification, projects on your github, etc. are all obviously good to have. i've been in the conversation for a bunch of engineering hires and no one's every said "well the other person had a cool website" so don't sweat it too much - leetcode, et. al are really annoying imo. traversing matrices or doing binary tree stuff is hardly ever relevant to the job. here's a list of a bunch of companies that don't do the tests. https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards ; most big tech places are going to require them though.

Early stage start-ups and non-tech companies can also pay reasonably well and may have more relaxed interview processes. There’s also https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards which lists a number of companies that have interview practices that may be more amenable to your approach to work.

There are some employers that give more practical tests, but sadly they seem to be the exception.

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
