Thanks for sharing! I can relate I am also on a same boat and realized now leetcode is the way out then serving non FAANG org which I thought will serve me well for my loyalty and hard work I gave so far.
Thanks solid advice I can related as I did follow the same after wasting lot of time on LC problems I cant solve. I have started getting good at LC. Since you landed job at FAANG, I would really appreciate if you can share tips on specific question says finding max path in a matrix it is graph problem but how can you master it so code flows in 30 minutes or less. Did you actually solve same problems multiple times?
