What it is

A sequenced learning path rather than a single course. It chains the fundamentals, the pattern work, the advanced topics and the company-flavoured practice into one order, with checkpoints along the way so you can tell whether you are ready to move on.

Why a path helps

The most common preparation failure is not lack of material. It is spending three months bouncing between resources, restarting the same easy problems, and never reaching the topics that actually appear in the loop. A path removes that decision from you. You open it, you do the next thing, you close it.

How to use it

Be honest at the entry checkpoint. If the fundamentals section feels slow, skip it. If it does not, do not skip it, because everything downstream assumes it. Book your interviews only after the pattern stage is behind you, not before.

Best for: anyone six weeks or more out from a job search who wants one plan instead of ten tabs.
