@@zhpdt thanks! I'm joining an eval team for Search in Mountain View, CA. I was kind of hoping you were also going there because I'm trying to find new grads like you and me to make friends as I relocate to a new spot haha. What's your team by the way?
I'm joining the Android/Pixel team in London, but I think that a large part of that team is actually in Mountain View as well :) When is your joining date?
@@zhpdt Yeah probably most teams have some sort of presence in mountain view. Joining mid January next year so pretty stoked :) have you started already? How smooth was your onboarding?
I'm actually joining mid january (20th is the start date I believe) as well :) So I guess we will both be in the same boat but feel free to look me up internally and shoot me a message once you start :) looking forward to hearing from you!
I'm currently in the process of being a dev, I will give the "speaking out loud" part a try, seems very logical and also a better way to remember books content etc. too, but here it helps to actually force yourself to read it out, be sure you really read it how it was supposed to be and noticing a error much easier when talking about the issue, since otherwise you can get stuck in loops or sometimes not even solutions to the problem anymore.
Nice! I work at AWS now, and I’d like to give hopping to Google a shot at some point. I’ve done around 680 leetcode problems so I’ll just keep going and try to perfect my understanding of difficult topics and see if I can get me a noogler hat
bro..thanks a lot..this is very helpful..ill also do that 40 min leetcode practice. And saying it out loud part..i think that will also work for me...edit: btw i think im 500th subscriber ..maybe 501 or 502...but but in range of 1-3..hehe
Congratulations! Some details about the compensation package you got or more details about the actual problems you got in the technical interviews would be helpful for people to hear and know what to expect.
Congratulations on getting into team matching!! It can take a while sometimes but I’m sure you will hear from them, just stay in contact with your recruiter :)
Bro wait, you're from Switzerland? Damn now it hits home.... I only worked at an Internship as part of my Major program and plan to do the Master as well. I'm not really ambitious enough to aim for companies like Google. I got into LeetCode mainly because I flunked a course in DSA and if I flunked it again the Major would be flunked, so I grinded LeetCode and I was the one guy who attempted to solve those problems in god damn C, lmao.
I'm sure you learned a bunch by using C for leetcode, that in of itself is already something that you can be proud of :) At the end of the day it doesn't matter if you're at Google or at a different place, as long as you feel like you're doing something positive that actually matters :)
Its a matter of time :) honestly dont worry about how many problems you’re doing a week, what’s important is that you understand the problems that you’ve done :) You got this it just takes time and a lot of practice :)
I was just about to give up on a leetcode problem rn:) funny how this got recommended to me at the same time...btw out of curiosity, how much time did it take for you to achieve mastery at leetcode from beginning and how much time did you spend each day? it would help me get an idea in that case....thank you for the video anyway though...its probably the most raw and informative video regarding this topic that i've seen:)
Thank you so much :) I'm glad that the video was useful So I wouldn't say that I've mastered leetcode, but I have gotten a lot better especially when it comes to actually understanding the DSAs. I spent quite a lot of time in the evening trying to get through as many problems as possible, I would say I spent roughly 3h a day doing Leetcode, for roughly 2 months. But I think a big part of it was also really drilling down the basics and understanding the underlaying algorithms, doing that really helped me a lot as well. Also in the next couple of days a new video will go up where I explain how I studied and I show my study method in case interested in that :)
Really cool video actually. If its possible, and if Google allows it. Maybe you can make a video about how and what a normal work-day looks like at Google, and what tasks etc you do.
@@Devilxyzp thank you so much! Yeah that’s definitely something that I want to do, of course I need to see if its possible but if it is then I will absolutely make that video :)
What factors contribute to making a CV stand out to recruiters? Given the high volume of applications received, what qualifications should I attain to enhance the likelihood of my CV being selected?
Congrats on your offer! When you were on your grind, how much time did you spend every day to study? Balancing another full time job with other obligations is a bit tricky
Great video! You speak on giving yourself time to struggle on the problem and relearning from scratch. But did you use resources to relearn? If so what did you use. Thanks
Thank you :) So I'm actually working on a video on how I studied, but some of the websites I used were wikipedia mostly. I've listed some others here as well Basics: www.programiz.com/dsa/getting-started Algorithms Basics: www.youtube.com/@MichaelSambol Algorithms In-depth: www.youtube.com/@WilliamFiset-videos Leetcode: www.youtube.com/@NeetCodeIO Hope that helps :)
Hey Philipp!! A great inspiring video. I have an upcoming interview in January and I am just scaring on my preparation. Could you please help me on this, how to crack the interview smoothly? Thanks in advance!
Hey thanks so much! Im working on a video on how i studied but I can give you an idea of what I did. - focus on really learning the basics. Make sure that you are studying the theory behind algorithms and data structures, not just their applications - use leetcode as a way to check your knowledge. Set a timer and think about the problem out loud. Dont rely on any auto complete and dont peek at the solution while you’re trying to solve the problem - if you’re struggling with implementing your solution, take a pencil and paper to sketch our the solution there before you write any code. Try breaking you solution down into small simple blocks to make it easier to implement the final solution And last but definitely not least, just do your best, treat the interviewe like a collaborative effort between you and a colleague :) You got this! Hopefully that helps :)
In my experience there really aren’t any “main topics” it varies quite a bit which makes it pretty unpredictable unfortunately, i would focus on having a very strong understanding of the fundamentals
9:09 Hi I want to ask a question about this, did you implement a stack to keep track of the biggest value in the list? If so this is still O(n) right? Because you need to iterate through the list once if you keep pushing or popping from the stack according to the next value, I really don't understand how you can find the biggest value in O(1) time, could you make a video about it or explain the logic behind it please?
Interesting how USA engineers have to pass up to 4 months of screening just to join Google & then get laid off 6 months later(depending on stock market volatility....). But us all around the world, do 2 interviews & join a company that already has a contract project with Google & it's already pretty well organised
Congrats buddy! :) .. I have a interview coming for SWE intern at Google..and I am short time crunch for brushing up my DSA..what resources would you suggest based on your experience..thanks!
Congrats! Thats awesome to hear man :) I would recommend the following resources if you’re studying up on your DSA Basics: www.programiz.com/dsa/getting-started Algorithms Basics: www.youtube.com/@MichaelSambol Algorithms In-depth: www.youtube.com/@WilliamFiset-videos Leetcode: www.youtube.com/@NeetCodeIO And well leetcode as well. I’m working on a video actually describing all of this stuff but i think the resources above should give you a really good overview and help with studying :) Hopefully that helps and otherwise feel free to just ask :)
Might be a long shot, but do you offer mock interviews by chance? You seem like you have a great mindset and strategized really well for the interview.
Hello there, I’m interested in applying for a Data Scientist position at Google, but I’m applying from an off-campus location. If you’ve been in a similar situation, I’d love to hear about any challenges you faced. I’m currently a student and will be earning my MSc in Data Science by the end of 2026. Thanks a bunch!
So I’m relocating for the position, I don’t know if thats what you mean by “off-campus” but in my experience that really wasn’t an issue mainly because all the interviews were done online :) Something that gets a bit lost in the online world especially when it comes to interviews is this sort of very human interaction like you would have if you were in a room with someone. Its obviously still there but not as prevalent when you have people who are behind screens, so something that I really practiced was being comfortable talking to people over calls just like I would if the interviewer was sitting next to me, I think doing that really changes the atmosphere to feel way more collaborative. Hopefully that makes sense :) I wish you the best of luck and if you still have questions feel free to reach out :)
Oh wow, I'd also like to apply for Google in the future rn I'm doing the EFZ in software engineering switzerland, but moving out of my country would be a difficult decision.
Yeah it is a very big decision, deciding moving out of Switzerland was really difficult for me too because I wish I could have stayed here. But I also think its a really good way to sort of expand my horizons and career :)
So google basically cares about how good you are as an engineer/problem solving, more than what language/framework you are experienced in, right? Also, when I grind leetcode, i find my self having the high level idea for the solution, but unable to implement it into code, any idea how i can get over that?
Yes exactly, the emphasis is way more on how good of an engineer you rather than what frameworks you know :) Yeah so I actually had something similar when I was grinding leetcode, I’m working on a video where i explain how I studied. Is it a specific kind of problem that you are finding difficult when it comes to implementing it, or is it just something that consistently happens whenever you’re solving a leetcode problem?
@ it is usually consistent unless the problem is very easy where i can code it in a couple minutes. For example: i know linked lists and how they work and how nodes are connected, how insert/delete works for it, etc.. but when faced with a problem that requires some kind of linked list manipulation, like this problem: “Merge two sorted lists” I think of how the solution can work, like comparing x with y in a loop, etc.. but when coding it, it either feels too complicated to be correct, or tailored to the specific example test cases and doesn’t pass any other.. Idk if I’m explaining my problem that well, but I hope you understand what I’m trying to convey.
I completely get what you mean. I was going through the exact same thing when I started and I think a lot of people do as well so you're definitely not alone. I would try the following things and see if any of them help :) 1. Before you write any code, grab a pen/pencil an paper, say the problem out loud and then use the paper to sketch down ideas, if its things like linked lists, actually draw them out and try work on the problem without writing any code, talk out loud and just have a conversation with yourself where you try to figure out what the problem is asking and what you could try to do to solve it. 2. Write the steps you're gonna perform to solve the problem down, so "First I create an empty node which will represent the final list" -> "Then i will take the two lists" -> "Then i figure out which node I need to take" -> "Then I will connect the chosen node to the final linked list" etc... That way you are breaking down the problem into small easily digestible parts, you can write this as code comments or on paper, it really doesn't matter as long as you see them and as long as it gives you a good overview of what needs to be done in the code at the end. Just focus on what needs to happen first and once you have that, then you can decide which code construct to pick for actual implementation. 3. If you are still finding it hard, maybe go back and really study the topic again. I can't even count how may times I though I knew something only for it to turn out that I was actually missing some small part of the puzzle :) And the MOST important thing is this, don't get discouraged :) everyone has to start at the beginning, I still have a really long way too but just keep at it, just ask questions and ask for help when you need it. You got this :)
@@zhpdt I'm already implementing advice 1, I sketch on paint and say the solution outloud. I didn't write the steps though so I'll go through that. But to give more context, I think of a solution and it works, but only when list1 starts with a smaller number than list2, then I add some code to handle this case, then I find that it fails if for example, list1 had more elements than list2, then I handle that case and the cycle continues till I start questioning myself, is this even the correct solution theoretically and I just need to handle cases or am I missing the point entirely? And it is sooo easy to get frustrated when such a problem/cycle takes more than an hour :D And I already have a year of experience working but nothing really required me to tap into such skills.
Yeah I feel you, it starts to feel like you're just patching things. But trust me, the more you do these kinds of problems the easier it gets. It's also good to just walk away sometimes, see what other people have done to solve the problem and try to understand what their approach was. I know that frustration all to well, what might help is setting yourself a timer and once it has elapsed you just take a step back an look at the solution and try to work through it. That way you're not caught in this cycle because you give yourself some breathing room which is really important. But just keep at it you got this :)
I'm actually working on a video where I go through all the things I studied :) But if you want some useful websites/channels I would recommend these here Basics: www.programiz.com/dsa/getting-started Algorithms Basics: www.youtube.com/@MichaelSambol Algorithms In-depth: www.youtube.com/@WilliamFiset-videos Leetcode Explanations: www.youtube.com/@NeetCodeIO Hopefully that helps :)
I agree, Spain would definitely be amazing as well, mexico is very far away for me but if i was a super interesting position i would definitely consider it :) I think its great to try new things regardless
Thanks so much :) I dont actually know what exactly I did to stand out, I just applied and had a relatively well organized CV where I listed what milestones I achieved at work with some relevant data. But I didn't have anything crazy to show off if thats what you mean :)
You would have to ask the recruiter because I’m not 100% sure… I suspect that it was the amount of different things I did during my 3 years at Abbott, and the fact that I was working on implantable medical devices which is not something you see all too often.
Hey Philip! Thanks for the video, gave a like and a sub :) I’m a senior Comp Sci student (graduating in May 2025) and have been job hunting for new grad roles. My question is, when you were applying for roles at Google, did you only apply to roles that fell under your specialization/similar to what you did at your previous job? Or did you apply for general software engineering roles, regardless of the tech stack. When applying for roles, do you think it’s better to specialize and make a bunch of projects in one domain (for example, only Mobile Apps) or if it’s better to prioritize DSA/Leetcode and just get really good at general problem solving/CS fundamentals? Thanks in advance! :)
Hey thanks so much :) When I applied I looked for things that were an intersection of my skills and what actually interested me. To me that made the most sense because I would meet the requirements and actually be passionate about the topic :) Regarding leetcode, I think the most important thing to have is a really strong and solid foundation of DSA, personal projects are a good way of illustrating your skills, but in technical interviews you really need to know your DSA, so I would try to find a good balance, maybe at the start I would focus more on DSA fundamentals with leetcode because it allows you to incorporate that into your personal projects too, plus its just generally good to know these things Hope that helps :)
@@zhpdt Thanks for the response! I definitely have been focusing on DSA/Leetcode, but it's just hard to get an interview to even apply those skills, so I've been thinking about how I should go about tailoring my resume with the projects that I do. I.e., been thinking whether I should expand beyond doing Mobile projects (which my resume is filled with) to give myself more opportunity to land interviews or just completely committing to mobile even though it hasn't been very promising as far as responses go.
Why tf do they take so long to respond. I cleared the hiring assessment and I’m still waiting for the next step even though i was told I had cleared the round.
So there was no system design interview, or white board interview kind of thing? I always hear about them at Google, but maybe they aren't doing it anymore
So system design interviews are done for some positions, typically L4 positions and above :) Whiteboard interviews as far as I know they’re not done as much as they used to be, but maybe that depends where you’re interviewing and for what position
Hi ! Really interesting video, I'm atm studying in France the engineering field and wanna know if you know for my next year if i can find a 6 month internship out of europe basically, do you know if it's hard and even possible (in the usa for example) ? really good video again and congrats :)
@@Far-YT Mhhh I’m not sure, I would think so, most companies offer internships but I can’t exactly say. If i was in your position i would try to look at job openings or reach out to different companies and ask if they offer anything like that and see what they say :)
Thank you so much! So I'm going to be on the backend side of things :) I actually dont know if they are looking for frontend engineers, but you can always checkout www.google.com/about/careers to see if there is anything open there :)
Nowadays evrywhere i see on internet ,all swe people use js or java mainly,it was nice seeing python ,can u make a video for what all must a entry level person should have? And currently what ghings u wotk on ?and can i ho entirely with python without learning js ?thx
Thanks so much for the comment :) I can definitely make a video on that, I'll answer some of your questions here still. I think JS and Java are used a lot for web based products and related backend services (not exclusively but very common). But there are so many fields where different languages are used, for example in embedded devices we use a lot of languages like C, C++ etc. Python is also used for a variety of things all over the place. I think it is helpful to know more than one language, but I don't think JS is a requirement in any sense. You can do a lot of things without JS, granted if you want to work on web based things JS becomes more and more important. But to answer your last question, yes, I think you can do perfectly fine without knowing JS (depending on what you want to work on).
Hey I really loved the idea of your storytelling your google recruitment experiance. Would really be looking forward to your upcoming vidoes regarding your preparation. Can you share your linkedin would really love to connect with you. Love from India.
@@zhpdt What were you doing between September 2021 to July 2024 then? Another SWE job elsewhere or back to school? Knowing if you have prior SWE experience before the reach out to you matters imo.
Because i had a full time job I was only able to study on weekends and after work in the evening. Honestly i just powered through as much as I could in that time and stayed up pretty late most nights
So there was a google doc-like thing that the interviewer shared with me and thats where I wrote everything :) I didn't only write the code there, I also wrote down ideas and key observations that I made regarding the problem so the interviewer could also see what I was thinking
@@zhpdt you should make a video on this cuz this the the part where most of us are lacking. Also if you are a freshman then even getting an internship is very hard.
So levels are essentially just a different way of describing experience. So for example L5 would be someone who is a senior engineer. And the level depends on the position which is being offered, its really just about having a way of describing how much experience someone has or how much is expected for a specific position :)
This is a little off-topic but I am currently giving my first sem exams rn in CSE and I keep thinking that everyone's doing web dev like I am . What makes me so different from everyone ? Also if you could give an advice to me what would it be ? Anything that helps and keeps me unique,different . What would you say to yourself if you were at my spot given you had a chance .
hey, I clearly understand your concern. See, there is no harm in doing whatever everyone else is doing, just make sure that you do it in a proper way. There are a huge amount of resources out there and there are a number of people out there who are studying computer science but not all of them are doing it in equally good manner. You just worry about yourself, learn some technologies learn some skills figure out what do you want to pursue your career in and don’t be bothered about the crowd. if I were in your place, I would spend a huge chunk of my time learning the basics, practising data structures and algorithmic problems, and building a couple of good projects. I would focus more on DSA and algorithms since this is given much more weightage during the interviews for the entry level roles. So don’t worry about it just keep learning, and make sure that you do it better than everyone else, that is, you should know things inside out. Doing this alone would set you better than 90% of the people out there. And by the time you graduate, you’d already be in a good position to crack these interviews at big companies
@shiviin I think @anchalsharma0843 said it perfectly. Dont worry about what the crowd is doing, just focus on yourself and your interests, obviously DSA is important for interviews, but follow your passion and focus on learning new things :)

Thank you so much :) I'm glad that the video was useful
So I wouldn't say that I've mastered leetcode, but I have gotten a lot better especially when it comes to actually understanding the DSAs. I spent quite a lot of time in the evening trying to get through as many problems as possible, I would say I spent roughly 3h a day doing Leetcode, for roughly 2 months. But I think a big part of it was also really drilling down the basics and understanding the underlaying algorithms, doing that really helped me a lot as well.
Also in the next couple of days a new video will go up where I explain how I studied and I show my study method in case interested in that :)
@@zhpdt ohh that's pretty cool, and if you could make that video, that will be really helpful!! thanks a ton!!
The new video is up just so you know :) hopefully its helpful :)
@@zhpdt yesss seen it🙌
Welcome!
Thank you 😄
Could you make a video on how did you start your software engineering journey? (Sub earned, congrats!)
I can absolutely do that, it will be at the top of the list for long form videos :)
And thank you so much for the sub :)
@zhpdt Looking forward to seeing your posts!
Good job Philipp
Thank you so much :)
Really cool video actually. If its possible, and if Google allows it. Maybe you can make a video about how and what a normal work-day looks like at Google, and what tasks etc you do.
@@Devilxyzp thank you so much! Yeah that’s definitely something that I want to do, of course I need to see if its possible but if it is then I will absolutely make that video :)
What factors contribute to making a CV stand out to recruiters? Given the high volume of applications received, what qualifications should I attain to enhance the likelihood of my CV being selected?
Congrats on your offer! When you were on your grind, how much time did you spend every day to study? Balancing another full time job with other obligations is a bit tricky
Thank you :) so it was between 3-4 hours on work days and weekends I would usually study the entire day. So it was quite a big time investment
es asombroso como con poco mas de 3 años de experiencia has ingresado a google como L3 Engineer
always been a dream but still trying to prep
It takes time, but don’t give up you got this :)
really nice video, congrats bro , can you make video about resume?
Thank you :) yes I will, I have some other videos lined up but its definitely on the list
I'm confused by what you mean by find the max value of an array in o(1) time. Surely there must be more detail behind the question no?
I’m sure there would be, if it was a real question 😂 I just made the questions up for the video
@@zhpdt 😂
@@zhpdtNo worries, and congrats on the job!
Great video!
You speak on giving yourself time to struggle on the problem and relearning from scratch. But did you use resources to relearn? If so what did you use. Thanks
Thank you :)

Hey Philipp!!
A great inspiring video. I have an upcoming interview in January and I am just scaring on my preparation. Could you please help me on this, how to crack the interview smoothly?
Thanks in advance!
Hey thanks so much!
Im working on a video on how i studied but I can give you an idea of what I did.
- focus on really learning the basics. Make sure that you are studying the theory behind algorithms and data structures, not just their applications
- use leetcode as a way to check your knowledge. Set a timer and think about the problem out loud. Dont rely on any auto complete and dont peek at the solution while you’re trying to solve the problem
- if you’re struggling with implementing your solution, take a pencil and paper to sketch our the solution there before you write any code. Try breaking you solution down into small simple blocks to make it easier to implement the final solution
And last but definitely not least, just do your best, treat the interviewe like a collaborative effort between you and a colleague :) You got this!
Hopefully that helps :)
@ sounds great!! Could you please let me know the main topics that Google interviewers typically focus on?
In my experience there really aren’t any “main topics” it varies quite a bit which makes it pretty unpredictable unfortunately, i would focus on having a very strong understanding of the fundamentals
9:09 Hi I want to ask a question about this, did you implement a stack to keep track of the biggest value in the list? If so this is still O(n) right? Because you need to iterate through the list once if you keep pushing or popping from the stack according to the next value, I really don't understand how you can find the biggest value in O(1) time, could you make a video about it or explain the logic behind it please?
Interesting how USA engineers have to pass up to 4 months of screening just to join Google & then get laid off 6 months later(depending on stock market volatility....).
But us all around the world, do 2 interviews & join a company that already has a contract project with Google & it's already pretty well organised
Congrats buddy! :) .. I have a interview coming for SWE intern at Google..and I am short time crunch for brushing up my DSA..what resources would you suggest based on your experience..thanks!

And well leetcode as well. I’m working on a video actually describing all of this stuff but i think the resources above should give you a really good overview and help with studying :)
Hopefully that helps and otherwise feel free to just ask :)
@@zhpdt Hey, thank you so much for taking out time and share all of these resources, I'll be waiting for the video you make!! Thanks again:)
Might be a long shot, but do you offer mock interviews by chance? You seem like you have a great mindset and strategized really well for the interview.
Thanks :) It‘s something I have been considering but no concrete plans yet
Hello there,
I’m interested in applying for a Data Scientist position at Google, but I’m applying from an off-campus location. If you’ve been in a similar situation, I’d love to hear about any challenges you faced. I’m currently a student and will be earning my MSc in Data Science by the end of 2026. Thanks a bunch!
So I’m relocating for the position, I don’t know if thats what you mean by “off-campus” but in my experience that really wasn’t an issue mainly because all the interviews were done online :)
Something that gets a bit lost in the online world especially when it comes to interviews is this sort of very human interaction like you would have if you were in a room with someone. Its obviously still there but not as prevalent when you have people who are behind screens, so something that I really practiced was being comfortable talking to people over calls just like I would if the interviewer was sitting next to me, I think doing that really changes the atmosphere to feel way more collaborative. Hopefully that makes sense :)
I wish you the best of luck and if you still have questions feel free to reach out :)
Oh wow, I'd also like to apply for Google in the future rn I'm doing the EFZ in software engineering switzerland, but moving out of my country would be a difficult decision.
Yeah it is a very big decision, deciding moving out of Switzerland was really difficult for me too because I wish I could have stayed here. But I also think its a really good way to sort of expand my horizons and career :)
When you said you had to double down on the basics, what specific resources did you use to brush up?
If you check out the pinned comment I've put the websites and RUclips channels that I used in there :)
Awesome video. Can you share your resume that got selected for the first round at Google? It would help.
So google basically cares about how good you are as an engineer/problem solving, more than what language/framework you are experienced in, right?
Also, when I grind leetcode, i find my self having the high level idea for the solution, but unable to implement it into code, any idea how i can get over that?
Yes exactly, the emphasis is way more on how good of an engineer you rather than what frameworks you know :)
Yeah so I actually had something similar when I was grinding leetcode, I’m working on a video where i explain how I studied.
Is it a specific kind of problem that you are finding difficult when it comes to implementing it, or is it just something that consistently happens whenever you’re solving a leetcode problem?
@ it is usually consistent unless the problem is very easy where i can code it in a couple minutes.
For example: i know linked lists and how they work and how nodes are connected, how insert/delete works for it, etc..
but when faced with a problem that requires some kind of linked list manipulation, like this problem: “Merge two sorted lists”
I think of how the solution can work, like comparing x with y in a loop, etc..
but when coding it, it either feels too complicated to be correct, or tailored to the specific example test cases and doesn’t pass any other..
Idk if I’m explaining my problem that well, but I hope you understand what I’m trying to convey.
I completely get what you mean. I was going through the exact same thing when I started and I think a lot of people do as well so you're definitely not alone.
I would try the following things and see if any of them help :)
1. Before you write any code, grab a pen/pencil an paper, say the problem out loud and then use the paper to sketch down ideas, if its things like linked lists, actually draw them out and try work on the problem without writing any code, talk out loud and just have a conversation with yourself where you try to figure out what the problem is asking and what you could try to do to solve it.
2. Write the steps you're gonna perform to solve the problem down, so "First I create an empty node which will represent the final list" -> "Then i will take the two lists" -> "Then i figure out which node I need to take" -> "Then I will connect the chosen node to the final linked list" etc... That way you are breaking down the problem into small easily digestible parts, you can write this as code comments or on paper, it really doesn't matter as long as you see them and as long as it gives you a good overview of what needs to be done in the code at the end. Just focus on what needs to happen first and once you have that, then you can decide which code construct to pick for actual implementation.
3. If you are still finding it hard, maybe go back and really study the topic again. I can't even count how may times I though I knew something only for it to turn out that I was actually missing some small part of the puzzle :)
And the MOST important thing is this, don't get discouraged :) everyone has to start at the beginning, I still have a really long way too but just keep at it, just ask questions and ask for help when you need it.
You got this :)
@@zhpdt I'm already implementing advice 1, I sketch on paint and say the solution outloud.
I didn't write the steps though so I'll go through that.
But to give more context, I think of a solution and it works, but only when list1 starts with a smaller number than list2, then I add some code to handle this case, then I find that it fails if for example, list1 had more elements than list2, then I handle that case and the cycle continues till I start questioning myself, is this even the correct solution theoretically and I just need to handle cases or am I missing the point entirely?
And it is sooo easy to get frustrated when such a problem/cycle takes more than an hour :D
And I already have a year of experience working but nothing really required me to tap into such skills.
Yeah I feel you, it starts to feel like you're just patching things. But trust me, the more you do these kinds of problems the easier it gets. It's also good to just walk away sometimes, see what other people have done to solve the problem and try to understand what their approach was.
I know that frustration all to well, what might help is setting yourself a timer and once it has elapsed you just take a step back an look at the solution and try to work through it. That way you're not caught in this cycle because you give yourself some breathing room which is really important.
But just keep at it you got this :)
Congrats dude! What exactly did you do to review your DSA? I took the class but it didn't do much for me so I'm trying to learn on my own.
I'm actually working on a video where I go through all the things I studied :)

what were the problems you had to solve? Please make a video on those.
Would love to relocate to either Spain or Mexico
I agree, Spain would definitely be amazing as well, mexico is very far away for me but if i was a super interesting position i would definitely consider it :) I think its great to try new things regardless
Does the google set you to be in foreign offices?
Excellent video but what made the recruiter contact you first? anything you did specifically that made you stand out?
Thanks so much :)
I dont actually know what exactly I did to stand out, I just applied and had a relatively well organized CV where I listed what milestones I achieved at work with some relevant data. But I didn't have anything crazy to show off if thats what you mean :)
@@zhpdt thanks for replying philipp! enjoy your time at london and keep us updated. Im a new subscriber btw 😊
Will do and thank you so much for the support 😄
how did the Google recruiter find your CV very interesting if you just had 1 job experience and had just barely finished school?
You would have to ask the recruiter because I’m not 100% sure… I suspect that it was the amount of different things I did during my 3 years at Abbott, and the fact that I was working on implantable medical devices which is not something you see all too often.
Hey Philip! Thanks for the video, gave a like and a sub :)
I’m a senior Comp Sci student (graduating in May 2025) and have been job hunting for new grad roles. My question is, when you were applying for roles at Google, did you only apply to roles that fell under your specialization/similar to what you did at your previous job? Or did you apply for general software engineering roles, regardless of the tech stack.
When applying for roles, do you think it’s better to specialize and make a bunch of projects in one domain (for example, only Mobile Apps) or if it’s better to prioritize DSA/Leetcode and just get really good at general problem solving/CS fundamentals?
Thanks in advance! :)
Hey thanks so much :)
When I applied I looked for things that were an intersection of my skills and what actually interested me. To me that made the most sense because I would meet the requirements and actually be passionate about the topic :)
Regarding leetcode, I think the most important thing to have is a really strong and solid foundation of DSA, personal projects are a good way of illustrating your skills, but in technical interviews you really need to know your DSA, so I would try to find a good balance, maybe at the start I would focus more on DSA fundamentals with leetcode because it allows you to incorporate that into your personal projects too, plus its just generally good to know these things
Hope that helps :)
@@zhpdt Thanks for the response! I definitely have been focusing on DSA/Leetcode, but it's just hard to get an interview to even apply those skills, so I've been thinking about how I should go about tailoring my resume with the projects that I do. I.e., been thinking whether I should expand beyond doing Mobile projects (which my resume is filled with) to give myself more opportunity to land interviews or just completely committing to mobile even though it hasn't been very promising as far as responses go.
Yeah getting interviews is really difficult, and I think there is quite a bit of luck involved, but just keep trying, you got this :)
@@zhpdt Thanks man! Looking forward to new videos :)
Why tf do they take so long to respond. I cleared the hiring assessment and I’m still waiting for the next step even though i was told I had cleared the round.
Can you share the resources which you used to prepare for an interview especially for DSA and leetcode?
So I’m actually working on a video where I go through that, but you can check the pinned comment for some useful resources :)
So there was no system design interview, or white board interview kind of thing? I always hear about them at Google, but maybe they aren't doing it anymore
So system design interviews are done for some positions, typically L4 positions and above :)
Whiteboard interviews as far as I know they’re not done as much as they used to be, but maybe that depends where you’re interviewing and for what position
How did u solve the largest number in an array in O(1) ?
I didn’t, its a made up problem :)
I have a q. How is it possible to find largest number in an array in O(1)? Unless the given array is sorted it's impossible.
Well I made the problem up for the sake of the video 😂 its not a real interview question

Hi ! Really interesting video, I'm atm studying in France the engineering field and wanna know if you know for my next year if i can find a 6 month internship out of europe basically, do you know if it's hard and even possible (in the usa for example) ? really good video again and congrats :)
@@Far-YT Mhhh I’m not sure, I would think so, most companies offer internships but I can’t exactly say. If i was in your position i would try to look at job openings or reach out to different companies and ask if they offer anything like that and see what they say :)
@ I’ll try that, thank you ;)
Hello Philipp can you kindly share your resume? I want to see the style so that I can improve mine
Congratulations first. Are you backend or frontend developer, and do you think are they searching for Frontend Devs?
Thank you so much! So I'm going to be on the backend side of things :)
I actually dont know if they are looking for frontend engineers, but you can always checkout www.google.com/about/careers to see if there is anything open there :)
how much time did it took you to master leetcode actually? do you used to give contests? and tbh was it only 400 dsa questions you solved on leetcode?
Nowadays evrywhere i see on internet ,all swe people use js or java mainly,it was nice seeing python ,can u make a video for what all must a entry level person should have? And currently what ghings u wotk on ?and can i ho entirely with python without learning js ?thx
Thanks so much for the comment :) I can definitely make a video on that, I'll answer some of your questions here still.
I think JS and Java are used a lot for web based products and related backend services (not exclusively but very common). But there are so many fields where different languages are used, for example in embedded devices we use a lot of languages like C, C++ etc. Python is also used for a variety of things all over the place.
I think it is helpful to know more than one language, but I don't think JS is a requirement in any sense. You can do a lot of things without JS, granted if you want to work on web based things JS becomes more and more important. But to answer your last question, yes, I think you can do perfectly fine without knowing JS (depending on what you want to work on).
Hey I really loved the idea of your storytelling your google recruitment experiance. Would really be looking forward to your upcoming vidoes regarding your preparation. Can you share your linkedin would really love to connect with you. Love from India.

What year did you get this offer? This year?
Yes I got the offer this year, i think i mentioned it in the video :)
@@zhpdt What were you doing between September 2021 to July 2024 then? Another SWE job elsewhere or back to school? Knowing if you have prior SWE experience before the reach out to you matters imo.
@SmoothCode So I was working at Abbott for 3 years as a SWE, I thought I mentioned that but maybe I wasn’t clear enough :)
did you prepare full time or how did you solved so many questions per day
Because i had a full time job I was only able to study on weekends and after work in the evening. Honestly i just powered through as much as I could in that time and stayed up pretty late most nights
Did you write code in google doc in interview?
So there was a google doc-like thing that the interviewer shared with me and thats where I wrote everything :) I didn't only write the code there, I also wrote down ideas and key observations that I made regarding the problem so the interviewer could also see what I was thinking
How did you grind 400+ ques in a month lol

What are the levels and how could one select to apply for one
So levels are essentially just a different way of describing experience. So for example L5 would be someone who is a senior engineer. And the level depends on the position which is being offered, its really just about having a way of describing how much experience someone has or how much is expected for a specific position :)

This is a little off-topic but I am currently giving my first sem exams rn in CSE and I keep thinking that everyone's doing web dev like I am . What makes me so different from everyone ? Also if you could give an advice to me what would it be ? Anything that helps and keeps me unique,different . What would you say to yourself if you were at my spot given you had a chance .
hey, I clearly understand your concern. See, there is no harm in doing whatever everyone else is doing, just make sure that you do it in a proper way. There are a huge amount of resources out there and there are a number of people out there who are studying computer science but not all of them are doing it in equally good manner. You just worry about yourself, learn some technologies learn some skills figure out what do you want to pursue your career in and don’t be bothered about the crowd. if I were in your place, I would spend a huge chunk of my time learning the basics, practising data structures and algorithmic problems, and building a couple of good projects. I would focus more on DSA and algorithms since this is given much more weightage during the interviews for the entry level roles. So don’t worry about it just keep learning, and make sure that you do it better than everyone else, that is, you should know things inside out. Doing this alone would set you better than 90% of the people out there. And by the time you graduate, you’d already be in a good position to crack these interviews at big companies
@shiviin I think @anchalsharma0843 said it perfectly. Dont worry about what the crowd is doing, just focus on yourself and your interests, obviously DSA is important for interviews, but follow your passion and focus on learning new things :)
