Thanks! I was contacted by a recruiter couple years ago and they sent me the practice list, but it seemed super generic and intimidating so I never replied back. I've heard really good things about CTCI so I'll pick that up. Having a Github checklist and a study plan would be super useful (I'm sure there's other people asking this question). I wonder if something like this exists already?

For my last round of interviews, I chucked Crack the coding interview and used www.leetcode.com and http://highscalability.com/ . Some of the better companies also have a culture-fit round, whatever that means. That's very important, so prepare for it. Google around for what sort of questions they ask. Good luck!
