https://www.amazon.com/How-Would-Move-Mount-Fuji/dp/03167784... was the classic book on MSFT interview questions before the software world switched to copying Google's leetcode interview style. Google found that the leetcode questions were the best metric for long term performance because they were a practical proxy for IQ and built their software empire on that style of interview. You can find references to pre-leetcode questions from Google's very early interview prep material from the time before they had data showing that brainteasers weren't as effective as leetcode questions. Then everyone switched to copying Google's interview questions because they hoped to copy Google's success.

The book isn't useful anymore for interviews, but it is a fun read if you like brainteasers.
