      Thank you for the video Jon! Could you do a video on your preparation journey for the Google internship? What all material did you study and what all questions did you do on leetcode and cracking the coding interview and other resources please. What was your study schedule like? Thank you so much for all these very helpful videos you make for us. I keep rewatching your Google campus tour video and visualize myself working there one day haha

      In general, to get into the big tech companies you'll need to pass their coding interviews which are notoriously hard. To help you prepare, you will want to have a great understanding of data structures and algorithms as you will use these to solve your coding problems
