Meta Interviews, Optimal Strategy Discussion

Hello Fellow Leetcoders.

I have been seeing a pattern that interview questions at Meta are the Meta tagged questions(most frequent) on Leetcode. And they ask 2 questions in every coding round. You have about 40 minutes to solve both.

With this in mind, I wanted to ask something.

Is it really possible to finish 2 unseen coding problems in 40 minutes, taking care of all edge cases, while explaining the solution to the interviewer.

To me it feels like, keep practicing the meta tagged questions again and again until your muscle memory automatically just spits out the code when asked in the interview.

So the preparation is basically twofold

  1. Have a base foundation(Solve Neetcode 150? to familiarize yourself with patterns), repeating this list multiple times if possible
  2. Start solving Meta tagged questions, repeating each as many times as possible.

Let me know what you all think? Also is this how most FAANG companies interview?
