Thanks! I was contacted by a recruiter couple years ago and they sent me the practice list, but it seemed super generic and intimidating so I never replied back.

I've heard really good things about CTCI so I'll pick that up. Having a Github checklist and a study plan would be super useful (I'm sure there's other people asking this question). I wonder if something like this exists already?

Don't neglect the non-coding parts of the interview, as well. Be pleasant and friendly, be engaging, smile and laugh, tell stories of past projects, show real interest in the work.
