Interview Prep Resources
Below are some of the resources we found helpful for preparing for interviews. Cracking the Coding Interview is considered the bible for recruiting, but if you have no time to go through that, do Grokking the Coding Interview, before Leetcoding. Grokking the Coding Interview will help you systematically build up understanding for various common patterns you will see in interviews (Two pointer, Three pointer, Binary Search, Merge Intervals, etc.). Leetcode is more of a question database that you should use after you already have a strong fundamental for all the various patterns. Think of it like doing topical practice with Grokking the Coding Interview and then doing exam papers with Leetcode.
