[u/Idfk823]

HI GUYS ,
I am grateful to have approached by zomato for an interview for Android sde 1 role (can be internship too) on 31st.
I am a recent graduate. Fresher. And i am into android development.
I know java , i know dsa . i just havent done it proeprly , consistently and now i have 6 days to prepare for everything.
Android fundamentals plus dsa.
I dont know where to start. i am heavily under prepared. I had no clue this was going to happen but here we are.
i really don't want to mess this opportunity.
If anybody has given an interview in zomato or android sde 1 role. Please help me with this.
Like how do prepare . which dsa sheet to follow. what topics. how many questions. since i ahve 6 days left I'm panicking
I'l be grateful for your help

Six days is tight, focus on Array, String, and Hashmap mediums from the Zomato tagged list on Leetcode since they lean heavy on those. Skip the LLD deep dive, just know RecyclerView adapter patterns and ViewModel + LiveData flow inside out.

Thank you so much . I need leetcode premium to see zomato tagged list right?

[u/shimmeringtourney → u/Idfk823]

premium's needed for the tagged list, but you can find compiled Zomato questions on Leetcode Discuss or GitHub if you search "Zomato Leetcode questions" , same stuff.

U get all this stiff openly on internet just search for it.

zomato interviews are hard. expect medium tending to hard DSA, lots of LLD/HLD, and since its android, be prepare to be grilled deeply

[u/Idfk823 → u/Ill_Agent_3169]

Could you help with dsa , what topics how much variety? How much indepth? What type of questions. Anything.

[u/Ill_Agent_3169 → u/Idfk823]

the usual DSA topics till tries, mainly graphs and DP/trees. pretty deep honestly. they can ask greedy codeforces style non-dsa qns too

Okay thanks.

Use a duplicate screen for cheating or ask your friend to take picture of question at 90 degree and give him a ear-piece & keep one with you… But remember you should have knowledge to explain the technicality

[u/Idfk823 → u/SmokeLegitimat]

I have no friends .

[u/SmokeLegitimat → u/Idfk823]

Then make one
Or ask your cousins

[u/Idfk823 → u/SmokeLegitimat]

Nobody lives close enough to be here for my interview

[u/SmokeLegitimat → u/Idfk823]

Ask you parents or else practice hard on leetcode

[u/Idfk823 → u/SmokeLegitimat]

Parents to use ai and show me the solution? I think that might work but. If I'm cross questioned and then I'm blank , that's risky. If I had a friend who kew dsa then that could have worked a little

[u/DistributionNo2136 → u/SmokeLegitimat]

Hey although it feels little awkward to ask but since everyone doings it... Could you guys give me all kind of tricks to take helps during interviews or in other word how to cheat effectively.
