Before this discussion starts between how the interview process sucks. Here is my 2 cents:

1. Pick up leetcode (or whatever rocks ur boat).

2. Do a lot easy questions and understand the pattern.

3. Do medium level questions and understand the pattern.

4 If you are aiming for Big 4 do Hard.

Coding interviews is all about finding the pattern and applying it. Only way to be good at it is practice. Don't give interviews without some practice.

Anyone has any top list in terms of most interesting/creative/fun? Because, I find most of these tasks quite boring - even if the solution is not clear from the start, it just feels too contrived and you know that it's aimed at some particular algorithm and the data structure.
I am really enjoying working through the book "Elements of Programming Interviews"
Instead of Leetcode I'd recommend starting off with Firecode.io. It's a lot more structured and there's a lot of bells and whistles included in the package that make solving these problems fun.
