This helped me set the expectation of the interview so that I did not get any big surprise during the process. I personally started from this book a few years ago. It demonstrates the hiring process in great details and cover some strategy for preparation. Note: if you are very new to the interview process of the big tech companies, cracking the coding interview is your friend. But don’t get me wrong, I still need to wake up as early as 6 am to leetcode for those days. In my opinion, this is more effective for most of the people who are not guru in algorithms. (Besides leetcode, I have compiled this list of resources that helped me) I know some people may disagree with this point. Reading solution early on can actually help avoid that. Many people may feel frustrated as they cannot even solve easy problems at the very beginning. It also avoid the unnecessary frustration in early phase. So I could recognized variants of specific type of questions easily in the future. It saved me time and allow me to read many questions in the same tag.

I found that it is extremely helpful for me to read solutions before attempting to solve the problems all by myself. So, my strategy was to read questions and most up-voted answers in the discussion to get the sense of questions tag by tag. It was quite hard to find enough time to tackle a single question from scratch.
