About Me

I am a senior engineer with 15+ years of experience and I give about 1 interview a week. This guide is written to help you avoid the most common mistakes that I see candidates make during interviews. I've received job offers from multiple FAANG companies and this is the process I use to prepare.

Main Advice

• Code katas are the best tool for interview prep.
• Communicate. Your interviewer wants you to succeed, help them help you.
• Test everything. Your code will have bugs. Show you can find them.
• Practice being nervous. Avoid interview day nerves by practicing.
