LeetCode
Discontinued This is my LeetCode solutions for all 2000+ problems, mainly written in C++ or Python. (by lyhsieh)
Practice, I know you probably hear that all the time, but it is true. Before applying for your dream place. Apply to places you don't really care to work for, make sure to get that practice in, get those rejections, and get those acceptances. Get used to being rejected without letting emotions stopping you from trying again. In addition, if I am being honest, I had the opportunity to interview quite often before becoming an engineer. I worked in finance before transitioning into tech so I had my fair share of rejections and I think I had behavioral down, since I studied business and I've had professional work experience. It was mostly the technical that I was nervous about. So I made sure to practice technical interviews and algorithms. The usually, leetcode, hackerrank, codewars still work, but I recommend using websites, like pramp, to practice technical interviews.

So while in bootcamp, I decided to join Major League Hacking and was apart of their fellowship. This made me stand out on my resume because I had my usual bootcamp projects, but also had projects where I collaborated on building things and using different technologies. In addition, I contributed to open source by participating in the 2020 hacktoberfest I made sure to put myself out there, show my capabilities of working on a team, and more. I used to participate in mintbean.io hackathons that happened every month. Hackathons are a great way to get experience and practice working in a group setting. It also adds the sense of urgency that is necessary in the real world. In addition, I blogged quite often to show my ability to write/document my experiences and code. In addition, I began tweeting about my experiences and staying in contact with the #devcommunity on twitter. Also, I made sure to keep my resume and Github up to date. Sometimes the little things, like a cool looking Github can make a difference.
