Questions

Do I need internship experience?

No. You'll learn to present class, part-time and side projects as real experience.

Is this LeetCode prep?

Partly. Week 4 covers technical rounds; the rest covers everything around them.

What if I miss a session?

Every session is recorded, and feedback continues in the group chat.

Can you refer me to your employer?

No. The cohort is independent, and I don't refer or interview participants there.
