I'm finding it tough to prepare for the coding assessment coming up for a software role at Stripe. I've been studying and practicing on LeetCode, but I often get stuck on medium-level questions—it takes me longer than I thought it would to solve them. With just over a week left, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and have to look at solutions more often than I'd like. Is it normal to struggle with these questions, and do you think I can still manage to prepare effectively in this timeframe?

You should definitely check out neetcode.io! The learning path there is super helpful for grasping concepts and tackling questions. It can really streamline your prep.
Make sure you’re comfortable with all the data structures and algorithms first. You might want to focus on one at a time and tackle multiple problems in that area instead of jumping around. It might help to review solutions first if you're having difficulty, and then try the problems after that to understand how they work.
You mean data structures and algorithms, right?
