When doing practice questions and you get stuck, how do you get unstuck? Do you look at the solution? How do you make sure you're learning from the solution?

How do you balance between learning actual coding and building, and learning to solve leetcode problems when you are doing a career change? For context, I studied finance and have been in my pivot to software engineering and feel like I need to have a portfolio first

I always have the problem with whiteboard questions. I just jump to the writing code right away and usually come up with a brute naïve force solution for fear of running out of time. After 30 mins after the interview I think of a better solution. It's not how I usually work, I like to write things down, and understand it visually before I write code. How can I reconcile the two? Thanks!

Once you landed a full time role after college, how have you continued to advance your skills and stay on top of the latest news/developments in tech and your area of focus? Any resources you recommend?
