Nice Content broo...keep goingg... I scratch your back , you scratch my back 😂

i am 32 and i am looking for a career change. its been a rough couple of months thinking about things and im torn between being a full stack developer, data analyst, or go into cybersecurity

Running Time only? How the about the trade-off between Time and Space?

I’m not a smart enough dev to work at Google.

Can you do a video on which programming languages are best to learn? It usually depends on the application of course, but based on your experience working in the industry, can you recommend some of the programming languages?

Currently trying to learn JS and got a tutor and has been disappointing since he doesn’t seem interested in actually communicating with me or tutoring me. So I’ve ask for help but did something wrong idk. Just wanted to put my experience out there since the video mention asking for help

Great video! Thank you for sharing, liked & subscribed!

That’s was just a nice way of letting you know their was a company politics at play ,😂😂😂, also writing a docs is actually a nice stuff to do , also I would say write a blog , which would also go beyond the company and become worldwide

It's hilarious to hear from a Google employee about "communication". Of all my interviews, Googlers were always by far the most disrespectful and arrogant.

all of the google engineers i’ve met are awful people to work with.

I have a question , I’m a CS major and I graduate in may , but my interest in cloud engineering , I’m good at coding but I’m wondering do any of my projects and efforts for cloud matter ? Does google do cloud internships ? I’m doing a cloud project now , but am working as network engineer now , and like coding yeah I can do leetcode easy and I’m making a blog in blazor , have done mobile apps in android studio , I do like coding . But my greater interest is in infrastructure and protocols and routing and memory bandwidth etc .

unrelated but you sound like louis litt from suits

solid advice, the same advice my tech lead gave me, but I somehow forgot about it. your video popped up and reminded me again. thank you!

reverse a linked list: Of course you can just call rbegin(), rend()..... for a doubly linked list. No need to move the data at all.

Linked lists are the bane of existence. I understand them in theory, but when the rubber meets the road, im fucked.

That senior engineer sending you a google search link is WILD

I never NEEDED to manually reverse a linked list since I was in college 25 years ago. That's because I focus on software that works well in the real world. I would never want to work for Google, Apple, Facebook, or any of those lame companies.

You need only 20% of the knowledge to do 80% of the work.

Silly question. Doesn't AI make these such interviews completely pointless? AI can generate code to answer these questions. So what is the true value of knowing how to solve these problems. It's like interviewing an accountant and giving them a test in arithmetic.

Why would you ever want to reverse a linked list? That's a sign of bad software design. So I fail the interviewer and Google if they really design software like this! P.S : Interviewer Alex Nguyen goes to the captain of his ship and tells him : 75% of the new recruits don't know how to reverse the elements of the chain between the ship and the anchor! (although it is a bit more complicated with a real linked list) And the captain thinks "??!" and then tells Alex : "You are fired!" P.P.S, Now there is also this story why Cinderella can not go to the ball against the royal command because she has been given useless chores to do such as "reversing linked lists", kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5ypf3iLp7h3adk And so the moral of this story is that "useless chores" are invented by incompetent or not very talented people in order to sabotage the talented and brilliant ones that are threatening to their careers.... But in the end maybe the prince will still come and "marry" the talented and brilliant ones and leave the others to themselves!

I laugh inside when people look at me while I talk out loud, for example on what I'm having for dinner and should I buy those pumps to play in the football game.

Over the years and years of my carrier, I’ve never needed to reverse a linked list.

Memorizing leetcode doesn't mean you can code. It is a really dumb way to interview. They aren't real world problems, and you aren't going to solve them in the time given without memorizing.

I think these technical questions are just being used as a candidate filter. I know what a linked list is, but I've never had to implement one at my job. It's a solved problem. Unfortunately you have to play the game to get the job.

FAANG is the most toxic workplace, don't understand why people still trying to get there. Fame? Nice line in your CV? And then make YouYube channel, because you want to quit this monster? I can reverse linked list, but I haven't done anything like that in real life projects. In most cases - just some simple ETL process, APIs, microservices, etc. And it's also paid well. Especially in my country, when dollar rate is quite high :)

If everyone gets an advantage by doing x, no one doee

Frankly, if you need to reverse a linked list then you have a bigger problem, since you shouldnt have used a linkedlist to start with if you need to reverse it. Probably should start to learn about data structures first.

Can you request mock interviews with Google if you are interviewing somewhere else? Also, I have been an SDET for 5 years. I’m edging more on the sr side. At this level, data structures and algorithms escape me. How important is knowing this in interviews?

Calling it now. This will be one of the top 10 coding channels on KZbin by this time next year.

Love it ❤

very good advice. thanks Alex!

Great lesson learned from Naruto

Naruto example is hilarous 😂😂

If you’re google interviewer, I bet you don’t even know the answer of the question you ask😂

Interesting video! Within the past 2-3 years, my perspective on interviews changed. I don't go on many interviews and I DO NOT interview well AT ALL. Given those statements, I now view an interview like a "first date". On a first date, I'm presenting myself in my best light to make the best impression possible. I'm well groomed, I look and smell nice, and I engage in thoughtful and "clever" conversation, mostly to impress her. If we get together, I'll "relax" and show my "true colors". If we're not compatible, we split and I repeat the process and go on another date. lol I don't prepare for interviews anymore. The knowledge that I have is the knowledge that I have. If I'm confronted with something I don't know or can't remember how to do, immediately, I work through the problem or I do research to help identify a solution. I won't go to Stack Overflow and look for examples. I spend my time to understand the problem more so I can work through the solution. The point is, I won't have every algorithm in my head at any given time. The work I've done, throughout my career, has been interesting (to me at least) but hasn't involved much of the kind of knowledge I would need to "cram" for. If you asked me to reverse a linked-list on a blank whiteboard, it would probably take me some time. Why? I haven't touched linked-lists in DECADES. I'm more of a "hands on" kind of person. Give me a chance to actually do some work and I'll perform better than in an interview situation. So, I think a 3-month "trial" would be a better approach to vet a candidate. Pay them little (or nothing), put them on a "real" team and given them assignments. See how they actually perform. If they write garbage code, end the relationship and move on. If they don't work well with the team, end the relationship and move on. I used to "fantasize" about working at a company, like a Google, but I never really tried to do that kind of work. Sure, the money would be awesome but I'm not sure I would be a good fit for that kind of company/environment. I get contacted my recruiters on LinkedIn and sometimes I wonder why, because my work history doesn't match (at least not to me) what they are contacting me for, but I'm happy where I am now and I'm doing a-ok. :) Anyway, thanks for posting this video. I did enjoy watching it and listening to your tips and suggestions. Now, I'm off to see if I can reverse a linked list! lol

Thank you so much for sharing!

Seeing that little android figure gave me a bit of nostalgia. Nice video.

Good video but i'm just curious if u stole the Naruto history from twitter or i watched ur post xD

you didn't give me a chance and gave it to so many people that don't know how to do the most asked every question? LMAO

Great content Alex, keep up the great work man ❤

I would add showcasing your work at tech talks or meetups happening at your company to gain greater visibility of your work

Great content. Creating timestamp would make the video easier to follow

Great content, man! Would you mind me asking to connect to your LinkedIn network?

Thanks for your sharing 🎉

Love you

Loving these consistent uploads!

That's 5586 per month in florida after taxes. For what a company makes off you, 85k is a drop in the bucket.

I would to have a conversation with you. Looking forward to connect

Did they fire u ??? Because I heard most leetcode people can't code !!!

Hi~ This is Morry from a standing desk company. Would you like to do a video for us? If you are interested, please tell me your email then I can send you the dtails.
