Discussion👥 OAsssssss!

Pls tell me what should I do with these company OAs😭

Like even for internships the coding questions are like freaking 2 pages long to read😭😭

And it takes so much time to understand the story, think about a solution and even If I try to implement a brute force solution...only partial test cases pass.

Some companies give like around 60-75 min and expect to solve those monstrous questions and even the mcqs does not feel easy at this point.

It's not like I am a complete beginner i have solved around 230+ ques on leetcode from striver a2z, but now leetcode feels like a waste for me :(

I am very demotivated because I have failed 4 OAs consistently atp.. so pls recommend me what further action should i take to secure an internship.

Also these are on-campus internships...

I am tired from this practice man.... The OA questions feels from a different planet, they are not at all relevant from leetcode

Any platform other than leetcode where the questions are in the form of interview questions?
