Question for you, have you hit diminishing returns growth-wise with algos? Not knocking the fun aspect of it or anything but SWE has so many domains outside of DS&A that are worth diving deep into as well. How’s your sys design? OOP? TDD? Can you work across the stack? Wishing you the best bro! Keep learning and growing!

You probably were removing all from the largest group of consecutive same characters instead of removing from the group of consecutive same characters that has the lowest n % 3 value where n is the number of consecutive same characters in a row. Removing 3 "a"s only reduces the number of rule breaks by 1 where as removing an "a" and a "c" reduces rule breaks by 2. You could actually remove any character after those 2 and still reach 8 changes using 5 switches.

I've never been good at Google-style interviews or timed algorithm-focused tests, but have successfully worked in the field for 6+ years. And I was +30 when I entered it. There are many companies that are interested in results, not in how clever your algorithms are. If you focus your efforts in a popular field like web development or ML you can find work all across the world. No need to aim for Google unless you have a specific reason for it.
