How I Got Good at Coding Interviews

Solving 500+ LeetCode problems doesn’t mean that you can pass any coding interview.

For a long time, I focused on solving as many coding problems as I can to maximize my chances of success in interviews.

But when the interview came, I'd mess up.

My mind would go blank, or I'd make mistakes I never made at home.

After failing many interviews, I realized that solving problems under interview pressure is entirely different from solving problems in the comfort of home.

In this article, I’ll share the steps that transformed my approach to coding interviews and tips to help you optimize your solution.

I will discuss the mindset shifts and practical strategies you can apply to reduce mistakes and increase your chances of success.
