I always aimed for product based companies like Google Microsoft dell etc etc.

And what they require most is knowledge of algorithms and system design.

Me and my friend started preparing together for like 2 months.(fyi he is not on Dev).

Finally I landed a job at Dell and my friend Landed job at Microsoft.

Now what helped us was geeksforgeeks.org and nlogn.in to prepare for algorithms and system design interview.
