IMO, no of questions doesn't matter 
 It's the breadth of the knowledge of DSA that matters. 
 Also journey from brute force to optimal answer for each question is must. 
  
 All the best

Seeking Suggestions for Software Engineer Interview Preparation: What's the Bare Minimum?- Grapevine

Hi Grapeviners,

I have close to 3.5 YOE as a software engineer. I am thinking of starting to prepare for interviews. Before joining my current org, I  was a good/average coder on CP platforms. I want to restart this again, but am overwhelmed with 100s of resources. I want to start CP, frontend, backend and system design. Are there any resources which you have used while preparing for SDE2 interviews. Even if you have resources for one of the above topics, please add in the comments as it might help someone. Also, if someone is preparing and interested to prepare together please DM me.

Thanks

Prep for SDE2 interviews

Software Developer

Hey folks, I got reached out by a recruiter from Google reg an open position

I just wanted to know what would the ideal prep strategy look like. I like to think I'm below average in leetcode. I can solve a lc mediums maybe under 30 mins. But lc hard is a different ball game for me. 

How long should I request for in terms of a preparation time. And it'd help what all concepts should be focussed. 


Btw - 4.5 yoe, fullstack engineer - i guess the profile is for sde 2

Need prep strategy for Google interview

I have upcomming interview in Gojek in IOS domain. If by chance they ask me DSA problems can I code in C++? ,  I am good with Swift but I think I will mess up without compiler suggestions and autocorrect. I am good with c++ as well and I won't need any autocorrect and suggestions in c++. If you are interviewer would you mind me using c++. Given i will make you understand the solution and also would like to explain how it would have been implemented in swift as well. Or should I ask them googling some swift syntax. I know how it should be implemented but sometimes I mess up in function parameters

Need suggestions

Need Interview prep tips for Lead SDET/Automation engineer

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hey 

I joined infosys in oct - 2022 and now it’s been 1.8 months. My tech stack is MEAN stack but I was on bench through the year, recently got into a project but for only 4 months. I developed and learned by my own and gained a better knowledge on angular.
Now the situation my company has made for me that I need to switch asap, within a month or two.

Can anyone suggest me how to prep specifically so that I get offers from other company.

My DSA skills are gone and feel like I need to learn again from basics.
I have knowledge about angular.

Can anyone suggest me how much DSA I should learn and focus right now to clear interviews.
I’m planning to get a grasp over python and start doing DSA questions in that plus polishing my angular skills too. 
I have basic knowledge of node.js MongoDb too.

Will I’ll be able to switch within this time frame?

Please can anyone guide me through it so that I can plan smartly and can switch.

Your help will be really appreciated.

How to prep for switch?

Had been interviewing with Ola and have my final round next week which is, as the title suggests : Managerial/Tech round of 30 mins. 

I'm an SDE2 with 4+ YOE and have never prepped for such rounds. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Android Engineer

Hey SDEs and techies out there, plz give me an info.
I have been consistently practicing DSA for the past 4 months , I have solved around <200 problems. Now when can I consider myself an interview ready? I can understand that "mere count" doesn't matter, but as an employee/hiring manager/Recruiter how much of Leetcode (say 3000+/500+ problem) will attract you to check out the profile/give referral/get interested in?
What else will you look out for in a candidate with 2YOE? Your insights will be valuable. Thanks a ton

I want to build tech savy software and want to switch. Being doing automation related dev straight out of college. I have 2 YOE in same.

How can I start preparing for interviews for SDE ? I am stuck as automation engineer

Currently working as SDE 1 and looking for SDE-1 opportunities only.
Asking what kind of things they ask us in interviews?
And how much they dive into them?
Like 
DSA is important. Except that what should I start preparing on?
Do companies really ask System design? If yes 
What they ask lld or hld?

What does an interviewer expect from a candidate who has less than 2 yoe?

Tech Lead

Experienced and Senior devs ,I need suggestions regarding what skill set is expected from a 1 year old full stack developer (stack- REACT, JAVA/KOTLIN ,Docker ,AWS) 

So apart from DSA and Core CS subjects what else should I focus on. I am aiming to switch to very good product based companies and startups also open for remote working opportunities.

So please guide me devs. Thank you

Need suggestions from senior developers.

SDE 2 interviews vary quite a lot from company to company and so it confuses me on what to focus on, can senior folks please guide?
What should be prior order between these and what are helpful resources you came across:
- HLD
- LLD
- DSA
- WEB DEV OR CORE ENGINEERING SKILLS

And will my personal projects matter for sde 2 roles?
