So I have phone screens coming up with Google, FB, and Amazon
For the last month I have been trying to teach myself DS and Algorithms from scratch. Reading CTCI and EPI, watching MIT Youtube vids, doing some leetcode and hackerrank problems and watching various YT channels
I'm also 3 weeks into the Sedgwick Princeton couresa course on algorithms tho i'm considering quitting that cause i feel like i need to learn quicker without doing 8 hour projects and shyt right now
I feel like i'm no where near being ready, especially for the level I'd be interviewing at which I expect to be all leetcode hard level questions
Some topics I haven't even TOUCHED yet like Dynamic Programming, Breath First Search, or Depth First Search, Graphs
Thinking about just pushing all the interviews back as far as possible (maybe another month or 2)
It's discouraging as hell to struggle on a leetcode easy question then read some guy say he solved 200+ leetcode questions and still didn't get an offer or even pass the phone screen
Not sure if he's been posted in here, but this breh is one of the best teachers for DS and Algo on YT imo
He explains things like you're 5 yrs old, which is way more effective to me than watching dudes like nick white solve some LC medium question in 7 minutes while constantly saying every step is easy
