Hello,\n\nI have a phone screen in a month for Google New PhD grad SWE (L4, North America). It will be my first tech interview ever. I have been preparing LC for the past six months (380 solved, 128/205/47 easy/medium/hard) but I still don\'t feel fully prepared. I can solve 30-50% of Mediums within 15-20 minutes, 20% within 30-45, and the rest I get stuck on. I\'m a bit slow. I have seen all the patterns now.\n\nDoes anybody have any suggestions on what I should do for the next month? I was thinking of doing LC contests a few times a week and doing old/new questions within time constraints with no compiler and no running of code. Also, being thorough with verbal explanations and coming up with test (edge) cases and running them manually.\n\nI need a plan.\n\nI am really stressed out. I have been feeling burnt out from doing LC for 4-8 hours a day for many months so I took the last few days off. But I need to resume the grind and put myself in optimal shape for the interview.\n\nI\'ve also started preparing for the behavioural.\n\nThanks.
