Important Tips
- Don’t just focus on solving as many leetcodes as possible, but learn to go deep in each question and expect follow-ups especially related to real-life situations.
- You should learn to VERY CLEARLY explain your thought process to the interviewer as in a conversation.
- Don’t just start coding even if you know the answer.
- Memorizing solutions (even if optimal) is not enough.
