- ✓ Start with Tier 1 companies for confidence
- ✓ Build 1-2 real projects (not todo apps)
- ✓ Practice explaining your thought process aloud
- ✓ Get referrals via LinkedIn connections
- ✓ Apply to 20-30 companies, not just 2-3
⚠️ Avoid This
- ✗ Don't only target FAANG - you'll get demotivated
- ✗ Don't memorize solutions without understanding
- ✗ Don't skip easy problems - they build patterns
- ✗ Don't ignore behavioral preparation
- ✗ Don't wait until you're "ready" - start applying
