awesome, thanks Could you walk me through what a week usually looks like for a student at formation, and what type of work they'll do at their own time? Would they be assigned a set amount of leetcode questions to use, or do you use custom questions that Formation makes?

Each week is completely dynamic and unique both to you and week to week.
Every Friday we run the algorithms and crunch a schedule of mentor led, peer based sessions for the next week and then assign them all out in the evening.
What you get depends on:
\- your workload that week
\- your schedule that week
\- your availability that week
\- your job interviews that week if you have any
\- everyone else's availability who need to work on similar problems as you
\- the mentors availability and FAANG-canonical level matching criteria to you and your group.
Then throughout the week you can book 1-1 mocks when eligible, book checks etc.. also join and release sessions.
Then in between you do practice problems, system design practice, benchmarks, etc... on various topics. The topics you work on depends on your progress, your workload etc...
We have some interesting "tasks" like to chat with AI about SD etc...
All of this is on platform in a dynamic "feed" of stuff.
The practice you get is real time dynamic to how you are doing so I can't give you examples really.

If you apply and talk to a team member they can walk you through sample weeks and we have an anonymmized view of the platform they can show you samples with.
