The following are some of the channels I found really insightful during my preparation for interviews of various companies, including Google.

1. Tushar Roy

His videos for various algorithms made me understood the most complex problems which I was never able to understand.

One such problem was the KMP algorithm. I have tried to understand this algorithm from every possible resource but never understood it very clearly. Watching this video twice I was able to understand the basic logic for this algorithm.

One more such video was Median of 2 sorted arrays using Binary Search.

2. Gaurav Sen

The guru for all the folks who want to master System Design. His analytical and practical explanations for various concepts made me interested in System Design.

He also has various explanations for some medium to hard level Codechef and Codeforces questions. Do watch Single Use Stone.

I always learn something new watching his videos over and over.

3. Back To Back SWE

I stumbled upon this channel quite recently. Though the videos are quite long, the explanation is worth it.

Some of my favorite videos are k’th Largest or Smallest Element and Network Flows: Max-Flow Min-Cut Theorem

4. Rachit Jain

As many would already know, Rachit Jain’s videos are motivational and inspiring. Also, his approach to problem-solving has taught me a lot.

Some recommendations from me are The Decryption Problem & Rock Paper Scissors

Some More videos on Rachit and Gaurav’s Collaboration are:

5. Telusko

For all the Java OOPS-related concepts, I have watched the videos made by Navin Reddy Sir. His approach to teaching various concepts is brilliant. He knows how to teach the most complex concept in the easiest way possible. True inspiration indeed!
