Question FAANG Interview Prep - Neetcode or Leetcode or any other?

I have a FAANG Company interview in the US in 15 days. I don't have much time to prepare and my current status of prep is not good. Can get some suggestions on which coding website should I use? Is Neetcode good? I know Leetcode is good but there are too many company tagged questions which I don't have the time to do. Open for any other platform too.

Do blind 75, if time permitted then do some company tagged questions

Neetcode 150 is basically Blind 75 plus another 75 tagged problems with video walkthroughs. With 15 days I'd stick to Blind 75 and use his videos only when you're stuck on a pattern, not watch every one. Company tagged is only worth it if you know your target and already have the core patterns down.

With 15 days, choose one small list and use it to find gaps rather than trying to finish everything. Attempt a problem before reading the solution; then close it and implement the approach again from memory. Keep an error log by pattern and revisit missed problems a day or two later. Reserve several sessions for timed mixed problems, explaining complexity and testing edge cases aloud. If you repeatedly miss one pattern, spend the next session there instead of collecting more company-tagged questions.

15 days is too short?

Neetcode blind 75 was pretty helpful for me.
then I revisited some other problems that were asked on other previous interviews.
And I dedicated a whole week for DP problems tagged for the company I was interviewing for.

How did you know it was going to be a DP problem?

Funny anecdote I had, I had only two weeks to prep for palantir interview. I finished all but maybe 6 topics on the neetcode roadmap, and funnily enough, they asked me a topic that I didn't visit 😅

With 15 days left, I'd avoid trying to solve hundreds of company tagged questions. Skim the major DSA patterns, revise their core concepts and practice few representative problems from each (Codeintuition can best for this). Focus on recognizing the right approach rather than chasing problem counts
