tech-interview-handbook VS leetcode-patterns

Interview Preparation: During my Sophomore summer, I started practicing with Leetcode by following the Blind 75 list. This helped me pass coding assessments & tech phone screens. I highly recommend to checkout the Tech Interview Handbook as a guide on how to approach technical interviews.

Created a GitHub issue (https://github.com/yangshun/tech-interview-handbook/issues/275) to track Grind 75 feature requests and added your suggestions!

I work as an engineer at FAANG and wrote a handbook on how to prepare for technical interviews - https://www.techinterviewhandbook.org/ which is relevant to passing FAANG coding interviews.

But if you want to look at Github projects, take a look at this one :)

A lot of people like to recommend certain curated LC lists. Neetcode.io and blind75 being two of the popular ones. Also check https://www.techinterviewhandbook.org/ since it can be quite helpful to get you an idea. I personally recommend just taking it one DS/A at a time. I would skip dynamic programming by the way unless you've got extra time. Takes a ton of time to learn and isn't that popular of a question unless you're interviewing with Google

It’s totally achievable to get a job at these top companies if you had previous internships/projects and spend a few weeks/months prepping for interviews. Check out tech interview handbook

You can find good guides like https://www.techinterviewhandbook.org/ easily. All the best mate.

After that did [these questions](https://seanprashad.com/leetcode-patterns/) (highly recommend, if you only ever do 171 questions in your life, make these)

For the questions selection, I recommend the Leetcode [cards](https://leetcode.com/explore/learn/ ) as well as [these](https://seanprashad.com/leetcode-patterns/) and last but not least the Leetcode [study plans](https://leetcode.com/study-plan/ )

What helped me was doing [this](https://techdevguide.withgoogle.com/paths/data-structures-and-algorithms) to get the basics and then doing [these questions](https://seanprashad.com/leetcode-patterns/) it felt like a lot of other questions are just alterations on them.

I liked how the questions where sorted by topic and difficulty on AE, and I used it heavily at the begining of my training, but then I found lists of problems like: Neetcode and Leetcode Patterns and I shifted completly over leetcode.

For interview questions, do Leetcode Patterns.

You can try patterns like these and do them in this order: https://seanprashad.com/leetcode-patterns/
