Hey, it's Mike 👋
In 2019, getting into FAANG companies was relatively easier. LeetCode had only a few hundred questions, and if you solved the Blind 75, you were well-prepared for interviews. System design questions were typically reserved for senior or staff-level candidates.
However, the landscape has drastically changed. Following recent layoffs, the market has become extremely competitive, raising the bar for interviews. Aspiring candidates now need to spend hundreds of hours coding, and new graduates often enter the job market with 500+ LeetCode questions solved. Reading system design interview books has become essential even for junior to mid-level positions. Excelling in behavioral interviews is also crucial.
Today, everything needs to be perfectly aligned to secure a job, and there's a high probability that someone more qualified is vying for the same role.The high-stress, tough market conditions, coupled with unhelpful interviewers, exacerbate the situation. That's why I created Interview Monkey.
