Of course I'd love that FAANG salary, but I guess the only way I'll know if I'm good at algos is to give them a shot. I think I'm smart - but, hell, almost everybody on this site blows me away with how smart they are.
However, last night I opened up that leetcode stuff - and I got lost in it! Just like some of my old physics problems, they're so interesting to puzzle out. And, granted, interest isn't enough, but it's still a nice indicator. I just had fun, just fun, going over one of those algo problems last night.
Thank you again for giving me so much of your time!
try easy ones, just being able to read leetcode question requirements is a skill. As someone from just cs background and not math background the question were phrased very much like a math problem. But they are not. It's basically testing how much you can think like a compiler. So do dozens of easy ones then do some reading/courses. Then move onto harder questions.

Nice! I'm looking forward to going through some more of them.
