Hi, I’m Esha 👋 Over the years, I have interviewed with over 70+ top companies with no referrals (although you should definitely get referrals!) across big tech, finance, quant, and top startups. I have collected the resources that improved my understanding of algorithms, systems design, behavioral interviews, and engineering judgment. I also participated in 15+ top company insight programs during my time in college, had 3 big tech internships with return offers at all, ran the Duke women in tech recruiting program with over 150 members, and got another tech job in just 10 weeks after being laid off.
These are the resources I recommend to students preparing for interviews and careers in SWE! This guide assumes you are enrolled in a CS degree program and have basic coding experience. It is split into four main sections:
✨ These are my favorites! Given that there are a lot of links, I would recommend starting with the starred ones!

Hope this helps and best of luck!
