[@jamesaidoo]

Just finished an interview. Good thing I watched this video before going. Very valuable resource. Thank you, WWC ❤️

[@keystarr]

Thank you, a concise talk, great delivery :) I wish there was a similar talk on interviewing for senior positions, since it's a much less covered topic.

[@MartinDev77]

With regard to the live coding sample questions at 12:38, were you allowed to use Array utility functions/collections/helper methods?

[@lillianli284]

thanks for the video. Is there any resources we can practice take home project? And right now, more and more company change it to 2h online coding. How can we practice and better prepare it? Thanks!

[@theevan3867]

[@BigCarso]

When have you had to use a custom search algorithm???

[@azizagasi7887]

I've had 10 months of internship experience and I've worked on pretty complex stuff during my internship yet for some reason my resume doesn't even get shortlisted for interview, I'm from mechanical background but I've learnt most of the stuff about Android, I'm still not sure what am I doing wrong

[@sumit_soni]

Very helpful video 💯💯 Thanks a lot 😊❤️❤️

[@anb4351]

Live coding just gets me nervous and I screw up

[@nlke182]

Good info. Not sure about it being illegal to ask about race, or gender though. At least in the US, I would say 90% of online applications ask this and maybe 20% are asking sexual orientation now. Maybe making the candidate answer is illegal though and you can choose not to disclose I believe.
