Preparation
0.) Elevate Code Interview Prep + Job Tracker Sheet
I've created a google sheet that is great for job hunting. Track data about which jobs you've applied for and fill out the common questions with your answers so you don't have to think about what to say during the interview.

1.) Github
Git is the most widely used source control. Showing that you know how to use it and having a portfolio of code that employers can look at can give your career a boost.
2.) Leetcode
Great for practicing in a style very similar to interviews, plus the discussion forums can show you a better way to solve things. There's a lot of great tutorials here as well. I highly suggest also posting your answers in a repo on Github. Don't try to memorize problems, but use it as a way to test your knowledge of applying the fundamentals.
3.) HackerRank
Similar to Leetcode, but also ties into their job board. Lots of great tutorials and competitions.
4.) Pramp
Practice interviews for free with webcams and an actual person. Peer-2-peer, so you'll be on both sides of the table. If you do well enough they may connect you with companies.

1.) Triplebyte

Your experience doesn't matter at all, this is all test based. If you can pass their tests you go to final interviews with employers. If you do well they may fly you out and try to arrange interviews all during the same week. I think this may be one of the fastest ways to get through the interview process.
2.) Hired.com
My referral link: https://hired.com/x/5zrvq
Best for people with experience. I didn't have to take a test at the time but I think that may vary. I got quite a few interview offers in the "1st initial phone call screen" and then the "2nd is a technical screen" style. Mostly connected me to HR people first, but had a few direct to the dev lead interviews as well.
3.) Hacker News
Every month they have a "Who's Hiring" thread and a "Who wants to be hired" thread. This is often posted by a non-HR person, so it's a bit more direct. I've had a few contacts from here, but I think in general the crowd here skews towards newer technologies.
