How did you overcome those and solved these problems? 3. Give an example when you proved yourself beyond the expectations of the team/mentor, and did work ,provided solutions more than you were supposed to do. Few more questions like these and it went on for around 40-45 minutes.
What should be the preparation strategy for an aspiring candidate?
1. Focus mainly on the DSA part. 2. If you are at beginner level, start with hackerrank and solve questions. Then when you think you have done much of hackerrank , move to leetcode. 3. Start by solving leetcode questions based on the difficulty and go out of your comfort zone . 4. Make it a habit to visit discussion sections of leetcode for each question irrespective of whether you could solve it or not and learn by seeing how others did it. 5. Try to make a list of questions you find important(which has more than one concept) and solve these before any interview or OT. 6. Start off with oops and DBMS once you think you are comfortable with the DSA part. Keep studying these in parallel with DSA. 7. Make a good project and try to revisit your project everyday and get to know what and why you did so in the project.
Resources for Preparation
1. Leetcode (Solve questions and also give Biweekly and weekly contests) 2. InterviewBit 3. GFG ( For Clearing your doubts and also reading previous experiences) 4. CodeChef and Codeforces (if you are interested in CP) 5. Aditya Verma (Youtube for DP) 6. My Code School (Youtube for basic DSA)
Any additional information you want to provide from your side
1. Just start preparing as soon as possible. Contact your seniors and ask them what to do and how to do it.
2. Prepare an organized schedule and follow that.
3. In the beginning, don't go after all the resources you have. Just start with any to avoid confusion and waste time. Later on you can visit other resources when you feel like it[.
4. Be consistent even if you are not able to solve questions. Discuss with friends (the best way to learn and keep yourself motivated).
ALL THE BEST.
