Don't Forget: Other Interview Types Exist

Data structures and algorithms are a core part of the software engineering interview loop, but it's important to remember that there are other critical interview types as well, including for FAANG. This lesson teaches you:

  • How many engineers who completely fail their Big Tech interview actually did well on the data structures and algorithms portion, wasting all of their LeetCode grind
  • How the amount of time you spend on data structures and algorithms preparation will vary based on the types of interviews you have
  • How the amount of time you spend on data structures and algorithms preparation will vary based on your level
  • General attributes to use to calculate the amount of time you need to allocate to data structures and algorithms

Please ask your recruiter what's going to be on your interviews. Don't be afraid to be a bit aggressive and don't be shy. Follow the advice here: https://www.jointaro.com/course/ace-your-tech-interview-and-get-a-job-as-a-software-engineer/talk-to-your-recruiter/
