If all you care about is passing tech interviews: do Leetcode.
If all you care about is learning about algorithms and data structures: do courses, get a degree and/or read reference books.
- musicale 5y agoLeetcode to help you jump through hoops, books/courses/degrees and non-trivial projects/real-world experience to help you actually do the work. I'd like to think that a course sequence in algorithms and/or preparing for an algorithms qualifying exam would enable you to ace leetcode and whiteboard interviews, but I'm not entirely sure that is the case. Leetcode and whiteboard interviews seem a lot closer to so-called programming competitions.
