After going through all the lessons, I gained the necessary skills to perform well at my on-sites. I crushed even the DP problems, which were my biggest fear. And thanks to that I landed offers from Microsoft and Uber. Thank you AlgoCademy!

AlgoCademy really helped me improve my problem solving skills and write incredibly clean code. I was worried it wouldn’t be done in time for my coding interviews, but the way the curriculum is structured made me progress very quickly. Thanks for your work!
