Here is my Notion Template: www.notion.so/Coding-Problem-d8ad5d8e763345ca99ad7ab3af9ec2ff A word on this though, this is a bit more complicated than what I mentioned in the video. If you build a list of coding problems using this template, as you work on the problems and give yourself a time and a score, it will calculate a SR_Score value, and if you sort the list in descending order based on the property, it will automatically bubble up your worst problems on the top. Hope this makes sense. Do NOT edit SR_Score, C_Date, C_Solution and C_Time -- those are filled out manually based on other values you update. Also, here is the entire workspace with 200+ carefully picked questions and all the various boards: www.notion.so/de7d8005cd3749b2a1c5f995b4a92bba?v=00b004e1ba144d84a7f207cd30d2fa0d I made these a while ago, I am sure it can be updated to a more robust version based on some of Notion's newer features. Cheers!
Thanks a lot for this :). Could you share that Kanban view template with all your todo, doing and those labels also if possible . If not, This is a gem , will make that on my own :). Thanks again
hands down this is the most thorough guide ever. I have spent a lot of money on the prepping materials and nobody ever mentioned about consistent tracking process and spaced repetition. Many simply just jumped to pattern recognition. Arriving at pattern recognition stage should not be magical. Now I have bridged the gap. Thank you Utsav!
This channel is awesome, I have been a software engineer for two years now since I finished school and I can tell when someone has actually worked in the industry vs someone who does projects on the side and makes a living on UA-cam. Either is fine but for me personally nothing beats experience in the industry, your channel is great thank you for posting all this awesome information
Hey Utsav, I just wanna say thank you so much for this video! I started interview prepping a couple months ago and built off of the Notion template you linked. I'm done interviewing now and have secured an offer at a solid company, couldn't be happier. Thanks again for all the hard work!
Man, this is GOLD for people trying to get into big companies. This is so good that almost feel bad getting it for free, no kidding. Excellent job and thank you so freaking much. 🤘
I wasted a lot of time on various other UA-cam channels until I came across this channel , thanks a ton Utsav , always some good vibes comes feels like one to one is going on !
He should be number one Tech UA-camr, Goes to the root of the problems rather than just giving solutions! No secrets, he gives it all! Much appreciated.
I am just about to start looking for my first job and you just made video about this, thank you for this video it will help me a lot to prepare me for what may come in my first interviews.
I've seen many videos about the subject but your structure is just at another level. Simple, clear, to the point, and amazing references !! Definitely a video I'll share with friends and colleagues :)
This is the best, most organized, curated and to-the-point set of pointers for anyone who wants to start prepping for tech interviews. Utsav, you are the mentor to thousands on youtube!
Thanks a ton, Utsav! The notion template of handpicked problems provided by you is just the right thing needed to filter out problems. This honest and selfless effort by you to help many is highly appreciated!
I have may have seen so many "technical preparation" videos over the years. But I think this is the most practical, sane and better guide that it is out there. Loved your Kanban style and point-based approach. I'll also be starting soon to prepare and I think this is the best guide I can find out there. This is a gem of a video. Thanks for this video. 🙌🙌🙌
Can you please make a separate playlist listing all the videos about books and resources for easy access? It's hard to scrape through the channel's videos list.
I have always struggled with keeping track of my problems. Thanks for sharing the workspace and showing how to effectively track progress. Amazing work! I have recommended this channel to a lot of my friends.
I love this man. I've been struggling finding a good strategy to keep track of my leetcode problem solving skills. This video just gave me a good idea that might just work! Thanks!!
Wow! Thank you so much for all of this! All the advice for preparation, links to resources, notion template and workspace with 200+ coding problems, and much more!! Can't believe you've provided all of this for free! This is invaluable! Appreciate you doing this for others! 🙏
Sir, I have been working as a support engineer for 13 years and got very sick of it. Its a soul crushing experience where you are treated like you are nothing. I started to solve problems to get into my dream career of becoming a programmer. I solved about 170 leetcode problems, but then i found myself COMPLETELY lost on where to go from there. What strategy to follow, what is next. I bumped into this video , and I am thinking this will change my life forever. I thank you very much for taking time to compile the workspace that you shared all for free. You have a wonderful day out there Sir!!
I wish you had created this video a few months ago. I started job hunt a month ago and I was overwhelmed by all the blogs, tutorials, blind posts etc. But this video sets the narrative straight and keeps it to the point. Thank you Dai! Jai PashuPati!
1. Do you recommend learning the techniques listed at 18:15 before jumping into the problems? Or, discover them as you solve the problems? 2. Do you recommend husting through and "re-inventing" these techniques on your own or just simply learn them and focus more on applying them? For example, I can learn the sliding window technique beforehand and apply or re-invent the technique while solving some problem?
Few months back I commented that this channel is so underrated. But now seems like it is going pretty well and I am quite happy with each subscriber count. I get a lot of motivation, productivity and consistency hack apart from the technical knowledge from this channel. I respect you man for providing and sharing such a valuable content with all of us. Keep progressing and making your and our life matter!!!!!!
I seriously like how you put everything together. a couple of years ago I started practicing for technical interviews and I had no plans on how to do anything. I and retrying and watching this video it gives me a good understanding how I should approach for preparation. I will try to follow exactly you suggested and will post again after a few months. Keep up the good work!! can't wait to see the next two videos. AKA; already ordered the book you suggested on another video "Web Scalability for Startup Engineers" and excited to read them!! thank you so much for your work!!
Glad this was helpful. Take this as just a starting point ... after a few weeks try to get a feel for what works for you and what doesn’t, and adjust to your learning habits and speed :) if you find something new in the process, let me know too! I’m always looking for opportunities to learn from others as well!
I have a good question that might be a solid video idea. I just graduated college with my CS degree and I got my first software engineering job about 2 months ago. I am a Full Stack Engineer at the company responsible for building vaious web apps and internal tools we have. That being said, some of the tech is not what I am super used to using on a daily with side projects, etc. I am afraid I will lose those skills but also lose all my algorithms and Data Structures knowledge / skill for LeetCode.. My question is, how can this be avoided? The obvious answer is build side projects still and practice LeetCode / studying but as a new engineer I guess I am thinking long term and how to go about not forgetting everything and getting too comfortable at your job.
You got to keep it fresh by working on things that you enjoy as side projects or just solving a few problems here and there. Most of us don’t need to heavily rely on DS algo everyday at work, real life situations call for design and architecture more. Just keep an eye out for optimization though and you will likely stumble across chances to use your problem solving chops
I usually don't comment on youtube videos but thank you for making such a comprehensive video on interview prep. Not only was this informative, but it was also practical and provided some great insight on how to measure progress.
If you get the job you wanted and my videos helped, that’s much better than any donation. If you really want to, donate to your favorite charity. Cheers! :)
Hey Utsav, Thank you so much for this video. I am currently searching for a job and I was feeling stuck and confused that where to start. After watching this video I literally feel so motivated and now I know what and how to do. Thank you again... 🙏🏻
I cannot thank UA-cam enough for dropping this channel in my recommendation. I've been totally lost, stuck on how to prepare myself for coding, as I had no guidance. Thank you Utsav for doing all this and also doing it for free😂❤️.
That would be helpful if you do a dedicated video on just " Recognize common problem-solving patterns". It would be really helpful for short time preparation.
Here is my Notion Template: www.notion.so/Coding-Problem-d8ad5d8e763345ca99ad7ab3af9ec2ff

Do NOT edit SR_Score, C_Date, C_Solution and C_Time -- those are filled out manually based on other values you update.

Where was this video 6 months ago when I started my interview prep journey?! Amazing videos, thanks for putting these together!
Thanks. This is an excellent guide series.
Got the job with MS.

Will do :)
@@EngineeringwithUtsav even binary search... Especially the equal to or lesser than or greater than.. when to use it.
This was a very well organized video and I'm going to be using these methods after being so rusty on coding interviews out of university. Thank you.
Utsav is doing great service to the community.
Thanks for putting this out for free!
I am just about to start looking for my first job and you just made video about this, thank you for this video it will help me a lot to prepare me for what may come in my first interviews.

highly insightful, one of the best roadmaps videos out there! thank you
This was really detailed and structured. Thank you for sharing this Utsav. 🎈
Notion is cool. Also a suggestion. Can you pls consider automatically sorting the TODO list based on the entered score?
Feel free to sort however you’d like. Mine sorts based on the SR_Score, which is slightly more complicated than just the score.
Great video for the interview prep 👍 Can't wait for the next two.
I cannot thank UA-cam enough for dropping this channel in my recommendation. I've been totally lost, stuck on how to prepare myself for coding, as I had no guidance. Thank you Utsav for doing all this and also doing it for free😂❤️.
Thank you very much for the video! It was awesome, eye-opening and right on spot! I'd definitely follow your tips ❤️
This series is just so awesome, I always keep referring to this video. Thanks
Thanks for this amazing video. Can you please do a video on Design Patterns in programming?
you are probably the best person i go for for a playlist of interview prep! thanks for creating all of them!
Thanks for the recommendations. This is a solidly formed and thoughtful process.
That would be helpful if you do a dedicated video on just " Recognize common problem-solving patterns". It would be really helpful for short time preparation.
I already have one, maybe will do more in the future.
Thank you so much for putting together all your ideas and experience for us to learn! Means a lot!
