Interviewing with Meta

Question

Recruiter reached out to me about a potential opening at Meta for Full stack and backend engineering. There will be a technical screening round followed by full loop interview which includes 2 coding rounds, one system design round and one round of behavioral. I have just started my preparation and would need more time. Is it a good idea to take Atleast a month before scheduling the interview ?

Would you recommend a good crash course to catch up on DSA and algorithm?

Thanks

How much time you need to prepare depends on your background and current familiarity with DSA. If I were you, here's what I would do:

Meta is known for using DSA problems that are tagged on Leetcode. Pick ~5 recent problems and try to solve each in 20 minutes (Remember, Meta tends to ask 2 DSA questions per interview block).
If you struggle to solve those problems in the right period of time, schedule the interview further out (3-4 weeks).
Now the question is -- how to study during those weeks?
- If you struggled to understand the solutions to those Leetcode problems, go through a crash course like Neetcode's roadmap.
- If you understood the solutions but just couldn't get to them fast enough, keep going through the list of tagged questions on LC until your speed improves

Hope that helps, and best of luck
