Free interview prep bundle
A wave of free prep resources just surfaced: the community‑curated 'coding‑interview‑university' curriculum, a LeetCode problem‑by‑pattern list, Alex Xu’s ByteByteGo ebooks are free until May 1, and a shared Google Drive has 200+ company‑specific questions with video solutions. These combine DSA, system design, and company‑focused material — a usable self‑study stack for FAANG and startup screens. (x.com 1) (x.com 2) (x.com 3) (x.com 4)
The community repository “coding-interview-university” by jwasham lists a structured, multi-year study plan and shows roughly 338k stars and over 2,500 commits on GitHub, marking it as one of the most‑starred interview‑prep curricula on the platform. (github.com) LeetCode’s official “Problem List — Pattern” page centralizes pattern-tagged problems on the platform, while independent pattern collections (for example the seanprashad/leetcode‑patterns repo) curate 150–160+ LeetCode problems by recurring problem patterns and provide filters for difficulty and company tags. (leetcode.com) ByteByteGo is led by Alex Xu (author of the System Design Interview series) and promotes visual system‑design modules and ebooks across its site and newsletter, with the ByteByteGo YouTube channel registering roughly 1.37 million subscribers and regular tutorial uploads. (substack.com) Public, company‑wise compilations exist in several maintained repos and services — the liquidslr “interview‑company‑wise‑problems” GitHub repo contains CSV lists for hundreds of companies, and MockTrail publishes company‑specific question databases covering 50+ employers with weekly updates from thousands of interview reports. (github.com) Several pattern and company lists note that a subset of linked LeetCode problems are behind LeetCode Premium paywalls, so some entries in curated lists will reference premium‑locked problem pages rather than solely public problems. (github.com) Public compendia of placement/interview materials (shared Google Drive collections and aggregator pages) are widely circulated on learning sites and forums and are often labeled as “for learning purposes,” with many aggregator pages linking to hundreds of PDFs and drive folders collected from public sources.
