A main goal in my career is to work in big tech with a strong preference for Google/Google X.

I’m currently at 1 YOE and am excelling as a Developer working across the stack at a well funded startup with momentum.

I’m considering practicing Algorithms and Data Structures now so that I can begin applying in 2023.

Google/Xooglers, what’s the best approach to ensuring I’m well prepared? Any hints, frameworks you’ve followed are greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
