Process

Your standard process:

  • Tackle LeetCode hard questions with the expectation to solve them perfectly.
  • Study hard for the interview, as your previous work experience is not what you will be quizzed on.
  • Expect some weird, poorly defined challenges – ask lots of questions.

Note: Once you make a mistake, it's basically over.

Questions

Cannot disclose. However, look at LeetCode hard problems, and you should be good.
