Mastering Your Software Engineering Interview: Best Practices and Top Resources

From looking back at my software engineering interviews, I would say that interviews in tech require more than just technical knowledge - you also need a plan of attack! Meaning, everyone should have a tactical approach for when he/she enrolls in an interview process! 🎯

✍️ In this article, I’ll focus on the best practices to excel in your software engineering interviews and provide you with some resources that have helped me or I think would’ve (and will) when preparing.

Best Practices 🏆

As I love to read trough such articles in a list format, I decided to go with the same approach here:👇

• Understand the Basics - Your foundation in data structures and algorithms is crucial. Ensure you can comfortably tackle common coding problems.
• Practice, Practice, Practice - Regular coding practice is key to success. Start with easier problems and work your way up. Platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, and Pramp offer a wide array of coding challenges.
• Mock Interviewing - Simulate real interview conditions by conducting mock interviews. You can practice with friends or use platforms like Interviewing.io, where you can get feedback from experienced engineers.
