I found that non-fang companies will tend to ask DP problems more often
Dynamic programming is very important in Indian SWE interviews. You will get atleast 1 DP in any one of the rounds. Its usually some variations of LCS or Buy and Sell stocks.
I think top 10 most important are:
Array, Matrix, Hashing
Two pointer & Sliding window
Tree
Graph
DP
LinkedList
Heap
Merge intervals
Prefix sum
Some variation of binary search
In indian interviews, Do you usually get at least a lean hire or hire if you solve the problem with the naive approach but were not able to optimise it?
@@daruiraikage in 2 problems you need to optimize 1 problem and brute force for other can help in for next round
They smart cuz gpt can’t solve em well 😅
thats why indian companies suck and the country is hell... lol
Also to get grasp of trees or graphs or even DP you need to get really good in recursion so yeah need to do that also
Thank you Aman, please do not stop making CZcams videos, your videos are great. im now doing like 10 problems a day, and 1 mock interview with a friend every week!
As a recent CS graduate struggling to find an entry level job, finding this video was very helpful. Subscribed and can't wait to see your future videos!
You motivated me to start, so I did 2 Sum, solved it brute force. Now I know I need to learn about hash maps, and std::vector. Bless you brother ❤️
Thank you such an insightful video!!
Lowkey your channel is so underrated!
Glad i found this channel. Thanks Aman ✌🏻
Amazing video Bro! 🙌🏾🙏🏽🎉
Man, your video quality is skyrocketing. I really admire the effort you put into producing this informative video.
thanks for such a great video!!
awesome perspective, wish more people understood this
Thanks bruh, most of the things you said seem to resonate with me. I had a hard time figuring out leetcode then solving problems, then I promised myself to do better and I did almost 300 probs and lost motivation cuz, I wasn't able to solve mediums consistently your video helped me get back on track.
DP problems were asked in my Meta interview and it was from top 150 overall problems. DP is a must.
From top 150 interview questions or NC 150 ?
Underrated channel brotjer
Buy one Mic stand
Why stand when have a hand??
(I agree with you he can probably afford one)
Great video!
I want to set up a club, but I am not a college student. i passed out in 2021 in mechanical engineering in Delhi India. around till 1.5 years i tried different things, like preparing for masters, mba, for government exams etc. until i started to learn how to code. for one year i learnt all these different technologies through an online certificate course. Its been almost 2 months since that was over. have been applying consistently to jobs, trying leetcode. But i jave not been able to come up with a routine and stick to it. i am turning 25, 3 years since graduation and no job experience yet. It's my own fault wasting my time overthinking, but i keep trying to do stuff. I feel i don't know what I am doing half the time. i do not knoe anyone else who is in my situation. so for now, I prepare alone.
You are not alone. There’s many others out there in same situation
Thank You!
Aman gonna get everyone a job this year
I have a 50% chance at solving hards. But I am obsessed with algorithms and am trying to master them. One of these days, I will get married to data structures and algorithms ❤. But I’m honestly not an engineer. I am an applied mathematician at heart.
about neetcode roadmap , he did a video talking about where to start , from where to stop etc
4:40-6:50 Golden advice
Can't wait to see the next video about how to claim unemployment checks
Bruh. Why clickbait tho? You're NOT top 0.1%
Leetcode 42 my favorite 😢 it made the video ❤
bro, thank u
why you holding hair dryer for straight 23 minutes????????
😂😂
😂😂😂
His hair maybe wet
Every interviewer in my recent Google interview asked a DP problem
thanks man
Bro, your videos helped me a lot in improving my coding . Your notion template on Leetcode i am still using which was super helpful 🙏
This was another great video as always 🙏
Thanks for sharing the FREE leetCode Roadmap ❤🤗
from where I can get it bro?
@@Mahakaal1221check description bro
@@RameshKumar-ng3nf thanks bro 🙏
I'm glad I follow ure channel . Will be really helpful during interview season
I did 2 google interviews, both were leetcode hards (DP), both didn’t go through. Maybe I got unlucky, but I think 10% isn’t enough. This was for a regular sde role, nothing senior
F
Well! Mine were crazier. Related to quad trees, kd-trees, and maximum bipartite graph based.
These were too much for my little knowledge on dsa.
Bro lot of love from India!! You should also consider Striver. His sheet's are also one of the best.😄
Thanks for the guide
This is Immanuel in Uganda
Aman peace
Selling water beside the river. Saving up for a mic stand.
Students can solve leetcode problems, given that this is pretty well known thing, starting for 1st year, in a year or two, there is so much time in the world.
Senior devs got it the worst, the part where you have to rediscover the understandings of some problems, coz out of practice for years at stretch.
So on the Pareto problem set what do the blue numbers mean? They are not unique and they don’t seem to match leetcode problem numbers…. How do I find the leetcode problem you are referencing?
So you just got ur jobs through cold applying?
Data science lead here. These problems help you think and solve problem. That's all.
I mean maybe in data science this applies less, but it is absolutely useful for getting a job as SWE.
Has anyone actually received his PDF? I clicked the link and signed up but haven't received anything in days
Please check your spam and promotions tab for a confirmation email that will ask to confirm your subscription - if you still don't find it, try entering your name + email again. Finally, if that doesn't work, email me at hi@manazir.org and I'll send you the PDF directly. Thanks!
Can i know ur leetcode handle, may i know ur lc rating?? How can we have any credilbilty?
Are you still working with Captain Sinbad? How does he help you if you’re in the SWE space and he’s not? Also, I’m really bullish on your growth. Keep up the good work.
is leetcode premium worth buying? I am a first year university student starting this fall and I have 5 years of coding experience but barely any with leetcode. I have done like less than 10 problems on leetcode. Some advise would be appreciated 🙏
But how to crack companies oas ?
I have a question? Can you use Sudo code to solve some of these Leet Code problems. Using Sudo code and AI so you are language independent. You understand the concept and generate the syntax using AI?
Why? The whole point is to get used to a real world language, which you are gonna be using at your future work. Start off with Python, basically it’s called the executable pseudo code
I think seudocode is brilliant. Its basically his pen and paper step. Its really really important to to be able to think through problems in english. That concept was invented by Grace Hopper, and she is why we don't code in binary.
Still study DP, I got asked a DP before final round at Intuit for new grad position,
I keep getting DP problems, even in mid companies. I think it's because I'm East Asian. My peers get the easy array or hashmap problems all the time.
there is definitely something going on with your email deliveries, man. i had to submit the form twice before i could get the pdf. and yes, i did check promotions, social, spam, and junk. as soon as i submitted my email again, i got the email to confirm my subscription and then the email to download the pdf.
Does he have a discord?
I just started leetcode this month and i did participating weekly contest for the first time (It's included hard problems and im cooked )
I am a bootcamp graduate who has been struggling to get a job. It was made known to me by a recruiter that my leetcode skills were the thing that holds me back. There are companies where you get a leetcode problem before you ever talk to a human being.
You can also not want to be broke, and also not give in to what companies want. Some people do leet code for fun :D they're great puzzles
FYI, your number in the pareto PDF isn't right. There's 49 total problems, not 42.
The picture in the thumbnail shows the worst 0.1% not the best! Dude pointed at the wrong side! 😂
I'm currently applying for the ml engineer position, and during the interview, they asked at most two leetcode type questions. Most of the interview is over hour of questions about ml algorithms, so leetcode is not that important overall. I'm pretty sure that the other positions it is similar.
That voice is soo deeep 😮
it better to talk about codeforces over leetcode, I have personally observed problems coming in codeforces are more challenging compared to leetcode.
What is ur profile in Leetcode?
I say DP is a must!
DP is a category, that takes time to build intuition, so start early.
I feel like in this day and age, if you can't solve a Leetcode Hard in 15-20 minutes, you're screwed
Leetcode is for losers. No value
Well good news, it's not true. Almost no one can solve Hards quickly.
That’s good cuz no one can either
Lmao
"U feel"
But not true. Most can't
Not really
ustad
Haha me having an interview in 2 weeks: Oh cool, I'll knock these 150 neetcode problems to get ready. Lmao!!!! Just ended up questioning whether or not I was a complete idiot over the last few days.😅
If leetcode is so important then why don't colleges teach this in a dedicated semester ?
That's called Algorithm and DSA
thank you but why u forcing us to put the mail but again thank you for this good information

Always remember, getting good at leetcode is doing just that. It's getting better at leetcode. It doesn't necessarily make you a good dev at a company.
It's interesting that he puts his brother on such a pedestal. Don't you have the same genes?
Just because a problem doesn't have a solution doesn't mean we should fallback to the "Game". If everyone becomes a conformist, that leaves no room for creativity.
Hi i'm a senior in high school. my college is going to teach c++. is this good? i want to know because i see everyone recommend java and python. i want to get some experience before entering college should practice c++ or some other language?
The language doesn’t really matter, just stick to the one you like. Python is more beginner friendly though
c++ is good
Yoo me too,i graduated last year I'm 17 I know python and a lil of java
I'm been doing python leetcode questions though,and been taking free cs50 courses from Harvard on CZcams,
But I'll recommend starting with python,and if you have a good understanding on python then basically you'll understand java,but since your uni is gonna do c++ and you wanna be ahead of others I recommend doing c++ learn the basic of c++ then python,then java
C++ is not beginner friendly. I also had to learn it as my first language in college. However, after some time it will all start to make sense.
Leetcode mediums are easy and leetcode hards are hard.
Is the hamza coder
Unfortunately, I have seen much worse than your Frankenstein code in the codebase of some major companies. @16:32
Strivers SDE sheet is also pretty good
Bro this video could have been 5 mins long.
International standards are so low ngl(I'm asian)
6 figure job and you have to hold your microphone? Lmao
Reality :-Curated lists are just beginning. Solving only curated list don't gurantee you even low paid software job.
Could you bring the mike more closer to your mouth please
Waste of time
This guy is completely wrong. It doesn't make any good if you learn the most frequent questions and your own interview has one of the less frequent questions! That's why you need to practice as many as possible, not just the ones in a particular list.
