The practice problems, lessons, and roadmap you need to efficiently prepare & feel ready for your FAANG interviews.

NeetCode is popular because it covers lots of material, but it's actually very disorganized. Here's the very first category on the site:
It's hard to get good at a specific topic when the categories are so broad, and it's hard to know if you're ready - even if you solve 9 out of 10 problems, you might not have seen everything you need for an interview.
On DeriveIt, the problems in each category are actually related to each other, so you can get good at each type of problem and know you're fully prepared.
It's more than just a well-organized list. There are 2 things that make us stand out:
1/ We show you simple solutions that you can realistically use in an interview.
2/ You learn deep insights you won't find elsewhere, like how you can use Recursion to solve literally any problem (all the problems in "Recursion" are solved using the same approach). Or how Dynamic Programming is just Recursion with one extra step.
People who understand every lesson on DeriveIt are typically not surprised by the interview questions they get. That's why we always recommend going through every lesson, and solving at least a few of the problems under it.
If you're in a rush, practice DeriveIt's content marked "very important", which is essentially an 80/20 solution.
No problem! Lots of our users use DeriveIt to get great offers outside of FAANG too.
You should go top-down through the course - first Data Structures, then Recursion, then Iteration.
We only cover Python right now. We've seen people use other languages like Java and C++ and it makes life so much harder. Python is the easiest language to use in coding interviews, and we offer Cheat Sheets for you to learn it quickly.
Yes - we cover all the coding topics that you'll realistically see in a FAANG interview. This includes the topics covered by the B75 and NC150.
Learn a fundamental approach to solving coding problems, and finally know you're ready for your coding interviews.
