TIL I've been "hacking" all their "tests" :D acing them just by curiosity & interest in computers in general, a bit of intelligence and a lot of laziness!
- marcinzm 6y agoFAANG or other companies? FAANG interviews tend to be timed enough that even if you're intelligent enough to come up with a solution you won't have enough time if you haven't studied. On average you'll get roughly 17 minutes to solve, explain and code a leetcode medium with optimal efficiency and no bugs. Either that or 35 minutes to do a leetcode easy followed by a hard. Again with optimal efficiency and no bugs.
