Has anyone tried out AlgoExpert as prep for coding interviews? I’m currently looking to move closer to a development role and need to pick back up on so largely ~dormant~ coding skills. A friend recommended AlgoExpert, has anyone payed for the yearly subscription in the past? Is it worth it or is it too niche? Also very curious if anyone has utilized their certificate + recruiting profile feature (seems like they almost connect you with recruiters for you). Thanks in advance!

IMO, Cracking the Coding Interview and some time spent on HackerRank/LeetCode/etc. is all you need for Algorithms and Data Structures.

Like hitting the gym, it's better to have a little bit of practice often than trying to cram. IMO, between those two things I was able to easily get through near everyone's interview process that I've done.

Hi,
I'm currently having an offer from BlueOptima and Cohesity and am conflicted between the two.

Cohesity Inc is providing me MTS and @BlueOptima is providing SDET-1.

Glassdoor reviews more of less place the two companies almost equally, and the package being offered by the two is almost in the same range.
My preferences include:
Learning opportunities in the role.
Company's work environment.
Company's growth prospects, are also a consideration.

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!
