Coding Interview Tips

[@CodePro]

The technical interview is challenging but not impossible. Here's a few tips for what to expect, the different kind of formats you may receive, and some advice for how to prepare and keep cool.

This is a fantastic channel. I've been working on iOS development for 1 year (somehow got hired). Still have much to learn. Really appreciate your content.

Thanks! Glad you found this channel helpful. I hope it continues to help in the future and yeah there is so much content out there to learn it can feel overwhelming sometimes. Tech moves so fast.

@toumobits Quick question, was the interview focused on algorithms? I feel like I haven't gone through that a lot ... and do you remember what your take home project was?

Really looking for videos such as iOS and MVVM , VIPER and other design pattern.

The quality of your videos is sky-high. I feel like I discovered something on the ground floor. I feel it's a great help to prepare for those 90-minute times tests and memorize some basics just to produce working code quickly, like a gym workout. Plus such practice will help you immensely in real-world scenarios. I'll be sure to check out your courses after I finish binging your channel.

Yeah definitely, there is a formula to the coding interview and once you get familiar with the pattern and do it a few times it gets easier and easier each time going forward.

As always your content is much appreciated! Always professional and to the point! I was wondering if you could ever do something like "creating" a whole interview process, let's say a couple of questions or a "take home" project, sort of a real life example of an iOS Dev interview. Would be great to have a feel of what will happen during a real interview before I go there. Hope you get the idea of what I'm talking about lol would be smth different.

Yeah that is a good idea for a topic. In my opinion what makes this challenging to teach and prepare for is that literally anything can be asked depending on the company. I'd say that for Google and other big name companies, they care less about your knowledge of iOS as they do your understanding of CS and data structures and algorithms. However in other scenarios with different companies, they may give you a take home project or a timed test on site and evaluate your skills immediately after looking for how well you know design patterns, API knowledge, etc and discount the CS and data structures. But usually there is a middle ground of both in an interview so I can see if I can create some new topics in the future for this channel that cover that or at least give you an idea of what could pop up in an interview.

This video has too many similarity with my experience with with Apple. I failed in the 3rd round on-site interview with Apple at the end of last year. Indeed, it is a long duration interview includes a code algo problem & some background, experience questions. Actually they didn't care about if your code will compile but your ability to solve the problem.
