SDE SHEETS - Does It Work Out?

Hey Guys 😊

Many of the juniors asking me, do you have list of important questions that will be asked in SDE/SWE Interview 👀.

Answer to this question is YES as well as NO (There are sheets which contain most [frequent asked questions]/[pattern covering questions] - But there is no guarantee that all interview questions would come from here)

For your information, these are the following sheets I came across during my preparation.

I don’t support anyone, rather I kept these sheets for last minute revisions rather than solely dependent on them right from beginning.

If you have landed on a job, comment down which sheets felt helpful to you (so it will a guiding upcoming juniors).
