    The easiest and fastest way to get into these big companies (or any company) is always connections.

    I've been in the tech industry as software engineer for 20+ years. Anyone that asks leetcode is lazy and doesn't know how to find good engineers. In the past, when I interview people, I focus on problem solving. I give them an example of the type of problems they will be asked to solve and the candidate to talk through it.

      If you have a high IQ (you don't from reading that comment) then you know Leetcode is available to the world meaning anyone can access it. So, I can make a company and brainwash young minded students like you lol to practice leetcode problems everyday just to pay them in minimum wage better than working at a fast-food industry.
      When a interview is ready, my students are prepared and passed the interview.
      In return, I want 25% of their Microsoft salary and the company secrets 🤌
      But they're exactly companies does this today... Like communism countries...
      So... Leetcode shouldn't exist and it's just going to get worse each year for CS students and unversity/college...
      Most high IQ people will find a way to make serious money from making a software or a product so they're can retired early in life than being in a dead end job.
      They'll only need a good idea, concept, and most importantly time...

    I am close to finishing my Associate degree from a local tech school in software dev. This video reminds me so much of the resilience mentorship I had with Microsoft when I started. It's almost nostalgic, and heartwarming to see the whole company embraces the growth mindset they were teaching. The imposter syndrome is hitting hard as I start my job search and get interview experience - I really needed this reminder. ♥ Changing careers is hard!
