Practicing Technical Interviews
Achieving success in technical interviews requires dedicated practice. As Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) questions are common, focus your efforts on mastering them.
Allocate around 100 hours to solidify your understanding of fundamental data structures and algorithms. This knowledge serves as the bedrock for interview success. Utilize LeetCode to complement your well-rounded preparation.
LeetCode Strategy
When practicing on LeetCode, follow a streamlined approach. Spend a maximum of 5 minutes on a problem. If you encounter challenges, swiftly consult the solution, ensuring a deep comprehension. Implement the solution promptly and then proceed to the next question. Periodically revisit previous questions to reinforce your understanding.
Mock Pair Programming
After gaining confidence in your DSA skills and implementations, seek a partner for mock pair programming. Collaborate with someone who can simulate the interviewer's role based on their interview experience.
Specialization
Tailor your preparation according to your role's demands. Back-end roles may require expertise in system design and operating systems. For front-end positions, focus on areas like React. Those aspiring to trading or low-level roles should delve into hardware and operating system concepts.
