    Tips
    1, code well enough to take and pass coding interview
    2, 1 to 3 engineering projects or some work experiences
    3, contact google recruiter directly
    4, only coding performance matters
    5, communicate well, write code for what you talk
    6, if you get rejected, apply again in 6 or 12 months

    Tip no.7: as one of your portfolio projects, build an AI chatbot that can do mock interviews, point out your communication weaknesses, and coach you on how to get better. 😁That's a win-win situation: it impresses your dream employer, and makes you a better programmer and communicator.

    Congratulations on reaching 22k+, tremendous growth. I was following you more often a few weeks back but got busier into improving my DSA skills. So after such a short time, good to see your growth from 2K to 22k. Keep going! Be genuine! Don't lose out in the crowd or ego. Keep hustling! Take care of your health and mindset (VERY IMPORTANT). And thank you for the video it really helped to reset the mindset to reality (not to wait long).

    Hi Clement, I just graduated my Masters in computer science. I have a 6 months coop/internship during my school years and now I am working for pretty big military defense company as a software engineer. I am ultra focused on Data Structure and Algorithm since we all know this is the bread and butter for top tech firms; however, do I need to do a few projects on the side? If so, how many percent of my total study time should be allocated for this? And, how do I start a meaningful project which will be worthwhile at the end? Thank you so much!!!

      Imagine you have a bunch of lego blocks pieced together to form a cube. You could remove the lego blocks in the outer border of the cube, and you’d be left with a similar cube, except a bit smaller than the first one. You could repeat this over and over again and every time have a similar cube just a bit smaller than the previous one-until you reach a single lego block, at which point you can no longer remove blocks and have to just stop.
      That’s what came to my mind!

    in my opinion you should automate both the online application and human being contacting. and maybe you re-apply each month. when you do this manually you'll feel like that you've done something really hard and you'll think it's valued at 80% of the effort, while if you automate it it'll fee easy and you'll start to do more of it.
    but the only thing that could hold you back is that the automation has to make each application a bit unique, which depends on your skill level of coding.

    Sir, you mentioned in this video that you applied to google just 5 months after you wrote your first code. So, what you did in those 5 months to prepare for coding interview?? Can you please make a video on this.
