How does one who has no idea about data structures or algorithms start preparing for Google interview? I'm a Salesforce developer and I'll have a round on data structures and algo. What are some resources that I can use to prepare?

I can use leetcode to get the questions but before I start on leet, how do I learn about data structures?

When is your interview? Depending on how much time you have, you can probably find some boot camp type courses for free, and I've seen some longer ones for cheap and/or free as well. You can probably find tutorials through Google as well that could be helpful. Best of luck!

The interview isn't setup yet. Had a word with the recruiter and they asked me to learn DS&A since it's a vital part of the interview. So yes, I have enough time

Question: why are you applying for a role you have no idea on how to execute? This won't turn out in your favor if your entire workload is dependent on algo and data structures. Not tech advice but I've had several friends who failed at their jobs because they BS'ed their interviews.

I'm a Salesforce developer and I'm very good at what I do. The job in Google is also for a Salesforce developer. But since it's a tech job, there will be a round of algo and ds interview even though I'll never use it in my job. So clearing the algo interview is my only hurdle.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Please evaluate this initial offer for Apple ICT3. I think I was low balled, but I want to take more opinions. Currently Sr. MTS at VMware, received Apple ICT3. I was expecting to get to ICT4 but seems like team thinks upper end of ICT3 is more apt. Also, I think it is because I don’t have any counter offers yet.

Received offer
Base: 185k
Sign on: 40k
RSU: 160k/4 years (Here is where I think it is low)
Location: Cupertino,CA

Current TC
