Interview Preparation
Learning Objectives
- Build a weekly interview preparation system.
- Improve coding speed with correctness.
- Explain solutions clearly during interviews.
Preparation Model
- Concepts: data structures, SQL, complexity.
- Practice: daily problems and timed sessions.
- Communication: explain approach before coding.
Weekly Structure
- 3 days: coding problem sets.
- 1 day: SQL and DB questions.
- 1 day: mock interview and revision.
Interview Tips
- Clarify constraints first.
- Start with brute-force, then optimize.
- Mention time and space complexity explicitly.
Practice Tasks
- Solve one easy and one medium problem daily.
- Record a 2-minute explanation for one solution.
- Keep a mistake log and revisit weekly.
Summary
Consistency and explanation quality matter as much as solving.
