interview

I've conducted close to a thousand interviews as an Interview Engineer at Karat (and hiring people before that). And yet, as a candidate I _always_ get terrified during even mock interviews. edit: plug time https://github.com/andreis/interview

I really enjoyed practicing on Pramp [1]. I ran through their whole batch of problems (roughly 40) so I can't schedule more interviews, but it helped me a lot to work on the soft skills required for FAMG type interviews. Unfortunately I still didn't pass the Google interview (had on-sites in Zurich) even though I was very well prepared. I also maintain (sort of lol) a list of interview preparation resources [2], although I find [3] to be even better. PS: I also failed much easier interviews at CrowdStrike and SourceGraph so maybe I just suck at being interviewed in a way that's not clear to me. It really takes a toll on your confidence though. 1 - https://www.pramp.com/ 2 - https://github.com/andreis/interview 3 - https://github.com/jwasham/coding-interview-university

Pilot have contacted me last month and I really like their policy. They only do long-term full-time contracts with reliable companies, and have a flat fee of 30% - you can set whatever rate you like. I am happily employed but I feel it's a far cry from services like Toptal who have opaque, allegedly much larger commissions. https://pilot.co/ Some more alternatives: https://github.com/andreis/interview/issues/23 https://github.com/wfhio/awesome-job-boards

While this is imho in a much nicer format, I also maintain a somewhat opinionated list of technical interview resources: https://github.com/andreis/interview

Great article, added it to my collection of interview prep resources: https://github.com/andreis/interview

I agree, some years ago I prepared for a month for a Google SWE interview and still failed. I haven't prepared for interviews since, nor asked to write code. Last time I interviewed at Google for a SRE-TPM position I was asked Python trivia during the phone screen, which left quite a bad taste in my mouth. [Shameless plug, feel free to skip] However, if you do want to prepare for a Google-style interview, I maintain a list of resources here: https://github.com/andreis/interview

Confidence and practice are huge factors. For the latter I can't recommend leetcode enough, it has problems exactly (like those) from interviews, and a lot of them. For confidence I recommend interviewing first at companies you're not particularly interested in. Try to time your interviews in such a way that you have your 2nd-choice interviews 1-2 weeks before your 1st-choice ones. Eventually having an offer helps you in the negotiation part.

Over time I collected many tips, blog posts and links to prepare for interviews at companies like Google, FB etc. But I didn't prepare for them yet, but I hope you'll use them.

Same [1], but I'm considering deleting it, as most of them are shit anyway. After seeing Assembly die in less than 2 years [2], I filtered my side project ideas through a "do you see this running in 10 years?" filter, and I saved them as bookmark folders [3]. 1: https://github.com/andreis/ideas 2: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:wUe7XO... 3: here they are cask.space: website for brew cask packages - categories, info, screenshots, discovery, etc. "deep" ai: strong artificial intelligence - more of a career goal than a side project docsite: simple, standardized landing pages for doctor's offices, á la jameda or zocdoc games: tons of game dev resources and indie game websites - if I ever find time to work on one, I love game development peer interviews: p2p pair mock interviewing for interview practice - an in
