but some other things i keep in mind during interviews:

  • fully explaining your solution before starting to code; also giving a quick recap of what ur gonna code if u kinda go over the solution but ask questions in between or discuss other solutions while explaining
  • bring up different potential solutions and discuss/reason about them with the interviewer
  • prioritizing clean/correct code over run time (for js specifically). ie. use helper functions to get rid of duplicate code, name your vars/functions well (this part also applies outside of js)
  • being able to explain what ur coding; i think i do this bc i hate the silence lmao, but if u do this, like be able to explain clearly and sound coherent (just takes practice, practice with friends or vod review urself!!)
  • checking in with the interviewer after ur done like just mention "oh does this look good to u" and then actually testing ur code
  • ^^ also like when u give them an idea, just simply asking "oh does that sound reasonable to u" before u acc start coding
  • smile :))
  • okay i think im just stupid, but try to write down questions u've gotten in interviews before, i realized i had nothing from last recruiting season written down lmao

honestly just takes practice ;_; no secret to it, just like know ur dsa well. i think heap/map problems are the most common so when i get a question i kinda just run thru whether those would be a viable ds to use
