lol some people ace the hackerranks or codility and still get rejected.

Lmao that’s what I’m thinking I am so ****ed holy crap 6 years down the drain for nothing

you need to apply in non-tech hubs where the bar is lower. Cant compete with the nerds that did 1000+ leetcode problems

you're competing with Asians/Indians doing like 500-1000 leetcode questions, at least for top companies like FAANG

the Asians also tend to have private groups where people who interviewed recently share the questions they got

just grind leetcode for 2-3 months dude. You can do it. Spend about 15-20 mins trying to solve a question. If you can't get it then read the solution, understand it, and again try and solve it on your own immediately after. Once you do this, move onto the next one. A month later, revisit all of these questions and try to do without looking at the solution while additionally solving questions testing similar underlying foundation. Trust me, just keep at it and you'll begin to notice patterns.

I too had the same sentiment when I first started, but after a while things just started to click and I was able to solve pretty much all easies with a working solution in about 5-10 minutes, mediums in about 10-20 mins, and some hards within an hour. Also keep applying to jobs. Apply to one everyday. Nothing motivates you more than an impending interview.

You also don't need to solve all of them. As long as you can solve most easies and mediums you should be fine for getting 80-85% of tech jobs. FAANG tier does require the ability to solve some hards (though Amazon is an exception with easies and mediums)

There's also a guide some ****** made that recommends 100 questions to study for. There's a lot of chit on leetcode that is unnecessary. I forgot what it was called, but try and find it. But in general, stuff like bit operations and other chit isn't going to be asked so don't waste your time.

. The interview process in general is a huge problem in the industry that needs to be retuned.
