For those who are confused between CP and SDE Interviews prep—>
Comepetitive Programming for ->>Online coding round that is Round 1
Leetcode /Interview bit for second round (face top face interview ) Round 2
Without Qualifying round 1 you cannot go in round 2…
Also you need to solve questions in limited time so give more short contest (like on codeforces ) and mock test as you will have to solve in pressure in very less time …
ONLINE CODING ROUND ->QUestion are of Competive programming level(no leetcode and interview bit ) ,and they are hosted on haerank and hakereerath platform >>> Big companies like DESHAW ,GOLDAMN SACHS ,DIRECTI,OPTIVER,google ,microsoft …The questions will be totally new and bit tough and you will not find it anywhere even if you try to google them …
There is no point in solving leetcode and interview for online coding round bit as they will not be repeated and level are low … ,they help in face to face Round 2… and without CP you will not reach Round 2…
So focus on Competive programming …othewise you will regret…
DEshaw ->(similar level and BIG PARAGRAPH TYPE QUESTIONS ON CODECHEF AND CODEFORCES)
Sprinkler Test ->(similar BIG PARAGRAPH TYPE QUESTIONS ON CODECHEF AND COEFORCES)
Goldman Sachs test on hakerank (similar level and BIG PARAGRAPH TYPE QUESTIONS ON CODECHEF AND CODEFORCES)
Donot listen to those people who say that Competive progarmming is not necessary …and they keep on spreading nonsense and lies that you should do projects on web dev and leetcode …
If you will not qualify online coding round then you will not meet interviewer in round 2 …then Whom will you show project on web-development ???
If you donot qualify online coding round then what is in point solving interview bit and leetcode which is asked in round 2 -face to face ???
Competive programming is super super Important …>without it you will not be able to qualify online coding round 1 and then cry and regret and then you will see your freinds who kept doing codeforces and codechef qualifying for round 2 then feel demotivated …so keep giving short contest .
