Cracking the Code: Step 7— Interview Preparation
2 min readAug 30, 2023
TLDR: This is the 7th of the 8 steps in my journey of networking, interviewing, and landing my dream job during layoffs. So stay tuned!
My focus in this article, will predominantly be on software engineering insights:
- Your primary guide through this journey is your recruiter. So, try to understand the interview process as much as you can by asking the recruiter what can be expected.
- Compose emails outlining each interview stage to extract further details and recommendations. If preferred by the recruiter, initiate phone conversations to gain clarity.
- To maintain a proactive approach, consider reaching out for updates every 4 to 5 days, ideally at the start of the week.
- Enhance your understanding by reviewing the LinkedIn profiles of your interviewers if possible. This tactic grants insights into the skill levels of the interviewers you’ll engage with.
- Neetcode was my go to place for practicing all the coding questions. The videos helped me a lot in understanding the solutions.
- Practice design interviews by solving them on your own instead of reading or watching solutions.
