That was the most content I’ve ever seen in 1 minute🔥
You don’t prepare for interview. You do 100 interviews to prepare for The Interview
job interviews be like: now that you went through our 16 mini interviews and 2 checks and 4 programming tests you're hired! you can go ahead and center that div
I would personally use a binary tree, invert it 21 times. Then on assembly use the EAX register to cmp to the EDX register to resolve the conflict.
“I love meditating”! Everything is happening so fast this has to be the most under appreciated line on the internet
The 'your welcome' is the best, most insightful part of this interview.
I interviewed for a unique role where it blends web development, product management, and marketing. It's with a large corporation, they offer a high salary, and I'll be working with a lot of seasoned professionals. I prepared like hell for everything and expected the toughest questions to be brought up. Coding question: do you have any experience with HTML? Product management: have you worked with Agile before? Marketing: what forms of marketing have you worked with? Yup, it was that basic. I spent days preparing for questions like, "Can you map out a marketing strategy that would increase our CTR without raising our CPL, using the example data table that we've presented. Please notate all calculations in detail and your thought process." (this one came up from another interview for a similar position) The rest of the interviews were spent talking about video games, cars, and things we liked and disliked.
Yeah, kinda did this. I had an interview for a junior dev op position in one of the biggest tech company of my country. I prepared my interview for an entire week, learning their tech stack and how to build efficient CI/CD, artifacts management and monitoring on it. At the interview, that was just like 15min, they just asked me very very basic question about the philosophy of dev ops. I was underwhelmed. I got the job and learned later that they didn't expected much technical knowledge from a junior position, only a bit of theory and human behaviour. Yup.
In Actuality: Now that you've proven that you had to acquire a maths degree on the side to your CS degree shown that you know all programming patterns by name and by heart and proven to us that you are potentially compatible with the team and answered some absurd question we stole from google interviews we're fairly confident that you can infact color by numbers.
I have 2 solutions to this problem. The first one is 1D DP where I memorize every single mistakes that my manager has ever made and store them in a hashmap while use date as a key to lookup. The second one is greedy algorithm where I fight my manager inch by inch and win every single arguments we have to destroy him. They both have a time complexity of O(n), but the greedy one uses constant memory only, so it’s better. Now let’s run some test cases. You (interviewer) can be my manager and we can start a conflict here.
In all 3 languages. That's next level. Dang I'm so smart. Nice...
01:07: he's right, especially if the manager is not technical. It's best to confuse them permanently to avoid conflict, just like HashMap.
My day will be made if Joma pins this comment :3
How much content this guy can put in one minute is just mind blowing. Love you joma
This is too relatable. I remember over-preparing for every interview where I literally went through my entire degree again to make interview notes. I had a one scrawling word document of every algorithm + time complexities and data structure I ever learned, and then another one for every possible behavioural question and examples of conflicts and how I resolved them. Then they asked me where I see myself in 10 years and how much I want to be paid. Too good, love you Joma 😂
I roughly read 2000 pages about C# to get my dream job as a C# Dev (books from Jon Skeet and Micheal Richter, I can really be recommend their books). Ended up getting a JS and Python Job. The payment is stellar though.
You’ll be asked for stuff you’ll actually never use. In my 25 year career I never had to choose between linked list vs array list or optimise garbage collection. But I had to do much other very difficult, non-coding stuff. Actually, as a senior, I spent 95% of time in “what to code” than “how to code”
The polar opposite of this (which is also too common) is companies wondering why they can’t find any good employees after 8 rounds interviews, 5 take home programming tests, and not being transparent with the salary of the position
Literally true story. Aced the AWS online test only to get grilled by 40mins of LPs (recruiter said it would 1-2 questions at the end). I feel like they knew I memorised 1000 leetcode questions.
