Introduction

Preparing for technical interviews might feel like a really vague task to work on — at least it did for me. In this article, I want to shed light on my personal timeline for studying and the strategies that I developed for myself. It should be noted that there is not an exclusive strategy you must follow in order to succeed.

I’m a firm believer in surrounding yourself with like-minded, motivated individuals. While some outlets existed for myself during my time of self-study, I wanted to allocate some of my own time and create my own community to help people who are in a similar position to myself. That is why I created the cscareers.dev community.

Before applying and interviewing with these companies, I highly suggest you check out the community that I am building. We are aiming to provide our community members with free company-specific interview questions as well as mock interviews and resume reviews by engineers from top tech companies to help you obtain and ace the interview.
