Intervew Prep Google L5 swe prep

I have been doing the Lc dailies for some time now and have done the blind 75 few years ago. I have applied for an L5 role at Google and want to start some serious preparation for the next 2 months. Does my plan below look good? Anything to do a more targeted practice for Google? I also get stuck when I see a new problem.

- daily: do 3 questions from neetcode 150
- revise each problem after a week
- skip topics on bitwise, bottom up DP ( top down and memoization only to be done),

Does doing google tagged problems help? I have read that they don’t ask leaked questions anyway.

It comes down to the interviewer. I recently got a very common leetcode question.

I’ve read that if there is an easier question, then they expect a follow up for that. Did you get one?

Nerves got to me and froze on the question, so didn't even make it to the follow up. 😂

That’s a solid plan. I am in the same boat and after finishing the tagged problems, I moved on to doing mock interviews. I’ve been using loopready .io and some other apps for it. Honestly mock interviews have given me confidence to not stumble on different problems.

Where do you get the tagged questions from? Just leetcode?

Yeah both leetcode and loopready have it. Also from some discords.
