Hey, I'm one of the main authors of the book. Feel free to ask any questions if you have them. :)
There are many great resources that have come out since the original CtCI, but we waited to release this until we had substantially new advice to give that is different from other options.
TL;DR This book teaches you how to think, not memorize questions. And how to reason about your job search and handle recruiters
Here are nine chapters from the book that you can read so you can make your own decisions. They include:
- Seven non-technical chapters that walk you through important topics such as why technical interviews are broken, what recruiters won't tell you, why you should not spend a lot of time on resumes, and how to get in the door at companies without a referral.
- Two technical chapters covering the two easiest-to-mess-up-in-an-interview topics. Binary search & Sliding Windows. Our new take on Binary Search teaches one template that works for every binary search problem on Leetcode, with only a single-line change you need to remember. The Sliding Windows chapter features 6 unique sliding window templates that make off-by-one errors a thing of the past.
