Your solution looks better than mine. Is there anything you've gleaned from the leetcode examples I posted?

Thank you for all the effort you put in this comment! That's definitely an interesting path methodology you've laid out. I will give it a try. Would you be willing to talk more as …

Any books in mind?

Yes. Very much so.

I enjoy it, but not given the failure rate I'm experiencing. If I had 50% or less failure ratio I would be ok. But as is essentially every problem is a 2-5 hour struggle where I me…

This is basically my thinking :/

This doesn't sound half bad. How can I find these?

My view has been they are looking for people with high IQs exclusively. Whiteboard interviews cut out people who are not even intelligent enough to memorize solutions and algorithm…

For the median question, I did not allow myself to combine the array. My idea was to increment in each array based on which value would come next in a sequence (as if they were on …

You're not wrong that there's a mental health issue at hand. There's also a lot riding on my ability to do these leetcode questions. I've been talking to councilors for the past de…

Thank you for this resource!

I agree that some of the problems are too hard to be realistic. I made sure to not count those when I was analyzing my performance. As I said in the comment I'm linking to below, a…

I added a separate comment to add some information about my situation. It addresses your question and advice too. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17594084

I didn’t expect this many responses. It’s a bit overwhelming, but I'm thankful. I’m going to post a few important pieces of information I didn’t think of posting above that should …

I recently graduated and have been grinding for interview prep (leetcode and CTCI mostly), but I’m getting no where. Easy problems take me 2-5 hours. I experience PTSD like symptom…

I'll look at Triplebyte's blog. Another resource I didn't know about you've pointed me to. >>Personally, I can assure you that it isn't a matter of disliking you. Honestly, if I di…

Nothing about what you wrote is harsh imo. The questions are just to cast the largest net. Anything someone doesn't want to answer they won't just as no one has responded to the qu…

I don't understand your point about putting internet reputation at stake. If someone well known and respected asked this question here and people responded earnestly and completely…

I never knew about those surveys. Thanks for pointing them out. They don't seem to get at what I'm seeking though. There are no connections drawn between innate ability, self descr…

If you don't want to share, that's fine. I'm just trying to get some data to help me make a choice in my own life about my career. My experience has been bringing up intelligence o…

I’d like to get a collection of the following things from the programmers who come on here: Your subjective experience coding and your story- How long have you been coding? How dif…

I'm at a crossroads where I'm considering whether I should give up trying to be a programmer, specifically, a programmer worthy of a Big 4 job. I've been struggling daily with doin…

How would you distinguish between someone who doesn't have enough experience and someone who is smart enough?

It seems we both agree, indirectly, that these interview tests are like IQ tests. You are comparing them to the SATs and the SATs are just wrapped up IQ tests like the tech intervi…
