It’s true the interviews don’t test your real coding abilities. It’s probsbly very low signal you aren’t going to go in and write spaghetti algorithms (but they will at least be fast).

- beefalo 8y agoIt is very unfair to people that have other obligations than doing leetcode for a month.
- Twirrim 8y agoIf you can pass a Google interview just from doing leetcode for a month, you got some bad interviewers there. Last time I interviewed there I got pushed on just about every aspect of knowledge I had, going back over a decade+ of experience. There was an awful lot of bullshit trivia questions buried in it, though, and a bizarre obsession with apparently expecting me to know every argument flag for a CLI off the top of my head.
