Awesome article, Andrey. Loved your style of writing, I felt I can relate to you.

The tips about applying to different regions is new info for me. Good stuff.

Also, I didn't expect the process to take that long. 3 months seems like a long time for completing the hiring process for a company.

I have a question, what kind of prior experience to this did you have with Leetcode style questions?

Cheers 🍻

Thank you, Alex! Happy I could help, even a little bit.

> Also, I didn't expect the process to take that long. 3 months seems like a long time for completing the hiring process for a company.

Most FAANG recruiters not only expected me to prep for their interviews but even encouraged me to do so. From my experience, it is quite normal for them.

No experience.

Basically the time you spend preparing for the interview is like a small internship 😂

> No experience.

That's impressive. Getting up to the level of FAANG only after a few months of preparation considering you had a full time job as well. Hats off, dude 🎩
