What it is

A roadmap built around what the biggest technology companies actually screen for: harder problems, tighter time limits, and an expectation that you narrate your thinking while you write. It sequences the topics in the order those loops tend to hit them.

Why it is different from general prep

The gap between a strong general candidate and a strong large-company candidate is usually not raw ability. It is calibration. Candidates underestimate the difficulty ceiling, over-practise easy problems, and never rehearse thinking aloud under a clock. This roadmap sets the calibration explicitly so you are not discovering it in a real interview.

How to use it

Run it alongside timed mock interviews rather than after them. The point is to build the habit of solving under observation, and reading about that habit does not create it.

Best for: engineers with a year or more of experience who are targeting the large technology companies specifically.
