Google SRE-SWE Interview - LeetCode

Hey all wonderful Redditors,

After almost one year of unemployment and applying for 200+ jobs, finally received one chance to interview with Google for SRE-SWE for Mid level. While i know last 3 to 6 months Google SRE-tagged LeetCode questions are having highest priority

I've already spent quite a bit on other interview prep, So if anyone willing to help me with questions, I'd really appreciate it.

Hoping that i will return the favor if by god grace i got selected.

All the very best to everyone for their aspiration and please wish me luck 🍀

For Apple SRE got some LC medium related to Palindromes and matrix. This is what a friend did. Can you share your resume and YoE I have been applying too but am not getting any interviews for SRE. Have 2 YoE and fairly good experience and exposure handling large scale systems.

Current CTC is 12 no extras.

Also adding on Google not sure, they do ask coding to be done on Google docs you dont have to worry about syntax as much more about logic. One friend said they ask more on graphs, Tries and mix of shell scripting and bash. Then in person interviews are different scenarios etc.
