You're the goat bro, I didn't realize at all you were indian
I'm gonna add you. :)
Followed! Truly your videos are an inspiration and I hope you keep doing what you’re doing!
Pls connect with me, i need the clout 🙏
I just added you in linked in..way to go bro 🙏..patience is the king 👑 🙏 -jaga

Sounds like imposter syndrome is unavoidable. "I wasn't, like, a bad engineer. I actually got promoted after one year. Now, was it deserved? I don't know". Imagine being NeetCode with 500k subscribers, working at Google, and being literally the only person able to explain technical concepts concisely on UA-cam and still thinking this. You're amazing dude. I bought your course, learned a ton. Screw what other people think. One of the best qualities of a great Engineer is being able to explain complicated concepts in an uncomplicated way. You've already proved you're great man.
Yeah imposter syndrome is super prevalent in this industry because it heavily relies on community effort and 'copypasta code' where really it's the only sensible thing to do. NeetCode himself mentioned in another video that spending hours on a single problem amounts to nothing more than a waste of time. There's no invisible cosmic tribunal deducing points for searching for a solution or asking for help, it's simply working smarter and getting the result faster. This is something clients will appreciate and they won't care in the least if some menu or button is a premade library element or if someone wrote it from scratch.
I have a friend who works for Intel, and he holds a senior position as a software engineer. He struggles with the same imposter syndrome problem, and I wish he knew how much he deserves his position.
You are a great teacher, and I'm sure you will achieve remarkable success. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey!
ByteByteGo, awesome seeing you here! You make some of the best system design content on UA-cam, and I love your book.
A collab please
two best channels for software enginners 😇 complementing each other.. great to see that
This comming from BBG is just the best comment and honest it can be!
I'm a little star-struck here. These two creators are the main reason I got a new job after being laid off of my software developer position earlier this year. Thank you both!!
I left my job a little over a week ago due to burn out (60+ hrs a week) and decided to take some time to build a UA-cam channel. Since I left I've been working on Photoshop and Premiere Pro. Weirdly my LinkedIn starting blowing up with interview offers and I have been double thinking getting right back into it or sticking to my plan, this video really sold me. I am feeling a lack of passion for what I do atm, espically the way a 9 to 5 SWE/DevOps role like the one I was working is like. Meetings all day with people who are in a bad mood followed by technical work until the late evening. Honestly my happiest moments working in IT over the last 10 years was helping people reach "aha" moments, espically working with interns and junior developers. Money is great but feeling fulfilled in what you do is worth so much more. I've been watching your vids for a couple of years now and I'm super excited to see you going full time, godspeed NeetCode, I can't wait to see what's next!
Just seeing "Hey everyone, welcome back, let's write some more Neetcode today" coming out of this face, MADE MY DAY
Its neatcode today who knows may be neetcode
He should honestly just work for leetcode and help them desgin/make thorough material
@@Josh-lz9pd just bought the premium and was hoping the editorial would help, but still coming back here 😅

Finally! 🎉
You dont even know how much you matter to this community. You are an absolute legend.
Love that you started uploading videos. Your channel in itself is a journey. From being unemployed for almost a year to getting a job at Google to getting promoted in almost a year to leaving google to pursue on interests. Lucky to witness all this from the beginning.
Happy for you! 🙌 Congrats on the making the leap to being self-employed, and I’m looking forward to seeing the progress of the channel
Thanks Lucy! 🙂
If only I had 10% of the confidence this guy has in himself.
I think you build it up by going your way and witnessing that you are going to be ok. Avoiding to live your life proactively will only make you smaller day by day. I think this is called "self-efficacy". And it's strongly correlated to career and success in life.
@@deltapi8859 i have heard similar. I'm curious if you heard this from someone else (if so, who?), or is this something you learned yourself?
@@Ctrl_Alt_Elite I read it from Paula Capronis book. Read it in independent sources I can't remember. But definitely know that it is true from own experiences. Everything that made me turn my life around could be backtracked to a point where no body could help me with my stuff and me oddly being like "you know what, what if I" and engage in it.
Unfortunately as an adult I've seen how it can look like if you let your self-efficacy deteriorate by going the "society sanctioned track" exclusively.
🥲
he had the skills first haha
You are literally the one with the clearest explanation to most of the leetcode/interview problems and have helped my land a SWE internship. "Solving leetcode problems for the rest of my life" isn't a farfetched idea at all, you can seriously build a brand out of this. Good luck and I will definitely stay tune to what you're up next
100% agree, his videos are so refreshing
Yes someone has to be the one to make these questions crystal clear and easy for someone to learn and I think that person is him. Best explanations I’ve seen.
Not everyone can make these questions digestible.
Bro just repeat answers on leetcode fourms. It's nothing special. He doesn't even use predicate calculus to explain logic or as a tool to solve leetcode
@@Soulixs If you want the math behind runtime analysis you need to do that on your own. That's what school or even coursera teaches you. His explanations would turn from concise into sprawling, at least doubling the time.
Obviously I don’t know you personally but I just wanted to say I was ripping questions from your Neetcode 150 regularly up until November. Helped me pass my Google interviews. Then I went backpacking for 4 months and I come back to see your UA-cam Channel POPPED off. Well done man! Happy for you! you deserve it!👏🙌
Normally I never comment, but I really want to say that I am beyond thankful for all your work. It's amazing seeing your process and really nice that you share all the ups and downs as well. It's really inspiring. I wish you all the best on this new journey and since I'm prepping interviews now I was so happy that you will upload more! It literally made my day. I use your videos everyday now I am prepping and you have by far the best explanations out there. Can't wait for your new challenge - I hope you will keep your authenticity as a creator since I think many creators will lose that over time after being not relatable or too commercial. You're doing amazing on that part, so keep up the good work! :)
Can't wait for this new chapter in your life and I will keep watching your videos!!! Sometimes I rewatch your videos where you share your story to keep motivated, it's really nice.
24-hour Leetcode stream? Is it even possible? Jesus, I can't even do Leetcode for more than 2 hours. I think Leetcode should hire you as their permanent advisor.
There are many Chinese streamers already doing it

Me too 😂
Me three, haha
That's a new term I learned ..
I pretty much only watch your solutions for Leetcode problems. You have a talent for this educational space, and I'm so happy you're leaning into it! I'm even going back and watching videos you made two years ago. So happy to see you're still enjoying it and putting in the effort!
When you say 'it's hard to believe but I genuinely enjoy making leetcode videos much more than I do working at google', I want to say I genuinely enjoy your leetcode videos and found your videos to be so much more useful than anyone else on youtube. Thank you for contributing this much and more to this community!
Good to put a face to the voice!! You're an absolute legend man, you've helped countless people change the trajectory of their lives, myself included. Excited to see what's next!
It's only fitting that he's Indian haha, all the best teachers on yt are.
What kind of company did you get into that required Leetcode?
I heard a lot of places don't do Leetcode, or only ask easy questions.
@SK-fy8dl I mainly interviewed with FAANG and Unicorn startups in early 2022. Most traditional companies (defense, automotive, etc.) either don't ask leetcode or ask really easy questions. That said they also pay way less in most cases.
YO 24 hour leetcode stream? 💀 An absolute legend
The legend has finally showed up. Hat's off to you man! You have redefined the way we look at coding problems and interviews. Right or wrong doesn't matter, just follow what your heart says and everything will work out great for you! We all believe in you and support you.
All the best for your next adventures! 🎉
You are a LEGEND!! Your coding videos are the best. I didn't get into Google when I tried last year using JAVA but got very good feedback. I ended up getting into another company that was a big upgrade from my old job.
I may want to try for Google again in a couple of years as I now know Python from scratch from working at my current job.
Good luck to whatever you end up doing!
The clarity of your thought process is amazing. I had witnessed it in the problem solving videos so far, but it is the first time that I am seeing that in a different aspect.
Dang thats crazy lol I am so sick and tired of Leetcode but I have an upcoming interview and your videos have helped me so much. You're doing great work out here Neetcode!
As someone who works at the Google Seattle office, I always appreciated these videos. Our headcounts were added back so I think we're recovering but there's still a lot of cost cutting measures. I hope the next stage of your journey is as good as the first part.
All the best for your adventures, you have a huge positive impact on my DSA journey. Looking forward to what you create, I am preparing for Fall 24 FTE positions right now
Taking this calculated risk is really inspiring. Wish you all the best!.
BTW, Face reveal was a good surprise :)
I've literally just bought the Lifetime Neetcode Pro, looks like it was a good day to do so! I did it partly because I want to watch your courses, but also just to say "Thank you!". After I started watching your channel I've had the biggest breakthrough of my career in terms of solving coding problems. And that happened because it's actually fun now! You helped me over the initial hurdle of leetcoding better than any book, course, or channel before. You are seriously great at explaining things, so I wish you the best of luck in pursuing this full-time. Kudos!
Neetcode's course vs Leetcode's course - which should I consider? im a begnner (just passed 100 qs)
Oh man , so excited for you and for the upcoming Livestream. You've made leetcode so digestible, hopefully I'll grow to love it as much as you do
So excited for the next phase of your journey! You have a rare skill in teaching :)

Happy to see you will keep building up the amazing channel you have - your LC content has been the only one that could explain things well for me. I think the ability to break abstract things down to the ground level is really unique ( and being an engineer myself, i could tell you how important that is), so no doubt you are a good engineer. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for everything man. U were literally one of my biggest resources that helped me crush a technical interview, which eventually landed me a SWE job offer, in the midst of a tough job market. God bless you my man.
The man that changed so many lives of engineers! Props to you
Thank you so much for sharing it with us! I, personally, greatly appreciate you taking time to document your journey as a computer sciencetist/software engineer. You truly help by leading with your own example and neet code resources! I hope there is nothing but the best for you in your next step.
I know you made this choice for yourself, but this is inadvertently going to benefit thousands of people, if not more. Good luck to you, and a big thank you for everything you do.
Yo neetcode, good luck with the “calculated” risk! I really value the DS&A roadmap/graph with exercises, keep up the good work!
Man, the explanation of the choice is great, it's so good to hear that decision is wise and not just emotional quit, also I glad you did it by yourself and wasn't laid off in first place. We are with you and you do a lot of community, so keep it up!
Beyond happy for you, man. We'll be here with ya every step of the way
Best of luck to you! I will always keep watching your videos to brush up on leetcode :) after all, you're the main reason I'm currently at my internship in the bay area. I applied for over 400 internships in 2022 and not a single offer despite going to a top CS school and a good GPA but I realized I was TERRIBLE at the technical interview and solving DS&A questions. I spent all of Christmas break this past year binge watching your videos on topics I struggled in and my strategy was to literally just pretend I was you in interviews when explaining things and it worked out.
Thank you, Neetcode! Also, I have a friend of mine who also became "unemployed" because he wanted to full-send UA-cam as it was his true passion and now he's over 5 million subs. You remind me a lot of him in terms of mentality, I'm sure this will work out great for you :)
Man, It's totally up to you to choose an optimal career path for yourself and finding smth that you love to do. By working at Google you already proven to yourself that you are more than capeable to work at whatever company you like to, but your UA-cam and Neetcode project are a lot more helpful that any learning resource out there. I'm sure opportunities to make money of it will come to you, just keep doing your thing, gratitude from your community will be there (it's already there for all things you've done).
stay strong Man ,the way you explain problems is soo awwful, you know i actually listen to your solutions to regain my interest in a boring problem, You are the best teacher !
Love and support from India. I am a final year CSE undergrad and I owe you a lot. Before I could realize you became such a huge part of my coding journey. All of my best wishes and prayers are with you, always.
By chance, I saw your problem-solving video and learned a lot from it.
I like your explanation videos very much. You can explain the way of thinking clearly and always express it with the most easy-to-understand images. For this reason, I directly purchased all the courses. Watching your videos and courses will make people feel The feeling that I continue to grow. I can't help you with anything, but I just wanted to say thank you for your help (I'm still preparing for my interview at Google). I want to tell you that I admire your courage and decision, come on! .
I honestly stopped checking out LeetCode's official solution after I've found out your channel. Your explanation is so clear and easy to understand. Hope to see more great contents coming down the road! Wish you all the best NeetCode!
relatable
The man, the myth, the legend! I wish you luck in all your future endeavors. You’re an extremely talented engineer, and I’m sure your impact on the community will grow exponentially!
More power to you man!!!! You're listening to your calling and that's amazing!
Damn I never thought you will be of Indian Origin (?) by your accent. Best of luck for your future endeavors!
Finally.... I can see you!!
You actually inspired me to start leetcode and neetcode!
🎉❤ Congratulations! I love the channel. You’re clearly a very talented unique person. Best of luck in this exciting new phase!
great to see you get to do things you really love, good luck with your chosen path!
My gad!!! your face, a lot of courage and thanks you so much for all your content. its gold
Man can't describe how grateful we are to watch your videos, really appreciate it. Best of luck and excited for about what's to come
best of luck dude! i'm rooting for you!!! :)
Hey man! Just wanted to let you know that I'll support you in your decision. It was definitely a tough decision, but I'm sure you'll be fine either way.
I've been watching your videos for a while now, because I enjoy solving leetcode problems as well.
congrats on your decision, even though i have more than a decade of experience building products as a software engineer, i still didn't land a job at one of the high tech companies. i guess i should stay unemployed for a while es well. anyway, i had some great experience trying and learning the way you solve problems though and i wanna thank you for your content. it has helped me a lot, even though i might never make it. :D
Been following you since you were at 18k and you cannot believe how happy I am to see you doing so well :) About to go on a job hunt again and found myself back here and look forward to learning with ya again. Love you man
love you. Thanks for explaining the Leetcode question. you get my support from my heart!
Your videos are amazing...helps a lot. Explanations are crystal clear and straight to the point. Love it
I had a video suggestion. I was wondering if you could make a video going over your intuition for solving leetcode problems and how you come up with methods for solving it. For example, you look at a problem and immediately know you need to use a stack to solve it. Basically things to look out for in a problem and connecting it to the right method
You have brought me from potato to something that can solve easies and most mediums over the past year. Best of luck to you and I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future!
You have our support!! Thanks for sharing this, exciting things ahead!
you will be great bro. I can't wait to purchase your neetcode product to prepare for interviews! just not there yet because I am still working on building my portfolio.. you will do great man! thanks for everything that you do bro.
Currently studying CS and I am glad that I have come across your channel. You are grounded, unlike the other ex-google chaps here and ever so helpful with your tutorials. Should I take on the path of a SWE, I would like to become like what you have become - grounded and helping other people learn. I wish you all the best in your next endeavour. We are all cheering for you.

Hey man. You are an inspiration to me for many reasons. I have been watching your videos since summer 2022 and I learned so much from you. Keep up the great work!
I followed your channel when you had very few subs. I was searching for a job that time. I recommended your channel to my friends because I felt that your channel was only channel who explains things clearly. I think, you made the right decision. You will have great future. Idea: You can make basics videos on data structure and algorithm.
You're an absolute legend man. Thanks for everything you do for college students who are worried about getting a job in the future, you have no idea how appreciative we are of you. I'm glad you enjoy what you do and I hope you see lots of success with this channel.
Good for you man, and best of luck. I'm still shooting for that google SE job, but hope that one day I can do something I'm truly passionate about as my primary source of income.
Your tutorials helped me get into a big company! Thank you so much NeetCode! I am super excited about your next move
Respect man. Competitive programming might be something you would be interested in if you really like solving these types of problems
Rooting for you‼️🔥🔥🔥 your videos and roadmap have been super helpful for me. I support whatever's next for you 💪🏾
I really enjoy your videos, best of luck in your endeavours!
Good luck! As for leetcode questions, there are still some hard questions in your courses that you haven't made a video on, so ig you can probably do that. Also, you can make videos on leetcode daily challenges too.
True hero, he left his job just to have more time for his leetcode tutorial. Respect
Good luck to you man :). I really enjoyed your videos and has learned a lot. I have watched more than 100 videos from both of your channels. Thank you for all your effort :)
For what it's worth, I think you'll do great things.
I've been on several algorithm platforms and yours is the most focused I've seen.
Cheers to your future, mate. 💪🏼
I've been watching your content for about 2 1/2 years now, it's so nice to see the face behind all those leetcode videos! 🙂
Good luck with your future plans, I'm sure with your dedication will lead to consistent success 👊
It's hard to grasp the profound influence you've had on my life. My friend, one of my resolutions for this year is to go through all your courses, twice! I sincerely don't know what to say, a little sad for you because having a secure job is usually beneficial, yet life's best paths are often unpredictable. We will support you as much as we can. Thank you so much
Best of luck with your journey!
I'll always support you
Thx Bud! Great work, been really helpful. Be nice or a good person as always!. Wish you all the best in your journey!

Rooting for you dude. Spent the last few months going through your algorithms roadmap and watching your video explanations and honestly think you're going to kill it! Best teacher ever man.
Had to check if this was the real you for sec lol.. but appreciate it bro 🙂
It's your turn next to drop the face reveal boyalgo lol
VIDEO SUGGESTION: A lot of people, including myself, grind out leetcode and land themselves a job, but lack web dev skills, and get overwhelmed by software dev in big companies. You seem like an exception, considering you got promoted by 1 year and did fairly well. Can you make a video on how you felt the initial few months into your job and how you up-skilled yourself, what did you do other than dsa that helped you in your job?
Leetcode testing is just a gatekeeping mechanism to weed out the weak and only hire people who adamantly want to work at Google. Real-World Work is nothing like Leetcode. Learn and understand Design Patterns, Learn SQL and NO-SQL databases, Learn SOLID principles, Learn how to write Unit Tests that provide 100% code coverage, Learn how to take a bad piece of code an refactor it into a maintainable and extensible code base. Learn how to write asynchronous and multi-threaded code .. and this will help you understand later how to scale a system composed of cloud services.
Actually, screw web dev, it's the worst thing you can do to yourself. (considering it is JavaScript ofcourse)
Every single day, you'll be waking up to some new shit that broke the older shit, so now you have to learn the newer shit to update the older shit, it is a journey where you'll never feel like you're grasping anything because you'll be moving so fast with the ecosystem that at one point, you won't even know where you'stand.
The whole JS ecosystem needs to disintegrate and never appear on the face of the earth.
