7. How to prepare for the interview

Now that I know that creating scripts for typical questions is common, I feel better.
I used to make pages of pages trying to cover as many questions as I could.

At some point, I thought: Stop, don’t try to control everything.

Good and perfect advices 😄

Thank you for the tips

If you will have a technical interview in a big-tech company, you need to know how to solve problems (algorithms, data structures and designing system).

  • Do your research. It is absolutely essential that you familiarize yourself with the industry, company and role you're interviewing for.

  • Practice, practice, practice.

  • Be prepared.

  • Know your strengths.

  • Think about a weakness you've overcome.

  • Dress for success.

  • Smile.

Thank you for the tips

…and be punctual!

Sleep well! I have to think about it!

very valuable and helpfull tips!
