I spent 200 hours solving Leetcode problems until I learned these 5 strategies and cracked my coding interviews as a software engineer (without a CS background). I'll share how I made Notion notes, docs and spreadsheets when systematically prepping for my interviews. Watch this video to save yourself hundreds of hours grinding Leetcode. Don't worry if you don't understand the nitty-gritty Leetcode examples I used, I'm just trying to illustrate how I adopted the 5 high-level strategies and how they can potentially help those interested in tech, so we're all good.
