Tips:

• For anyone who wants to crack one of these companies, I would recommend you to familiarise yourself with Data Structures and Algorithms. GfG helped me a lot.
• Just give it your best. A few practical tips would be to get good at writing what you are thinking, debugging your code, and not hesitating to ask for a hint from the interviewer.
• Good communication skills help too.
• Be confident and true to yourself.
• Make a super cool project.

Good Luck!!
