Alright, let’s get to the point!

If you break tech interviews there’re 5 sub-elements that you need to focus on -

1. Master a programming language and build projects

2. Practice only important/curated questions to understand the depth of data structured and algorithms.

3. Practice Company focussed questions ( along with point 2)

4. Practice only important system design questions : System design is an open ended topic with degrees of aptitude and knowledge of important concepts.

We are going to cover all the points mentioned in detail with links to the post that will help you immensely in your preparation journey.
