[@yassinmziya2733]

Blind 75 is 🔑

[@jarell2805]

Great video, Bukola! Though may I ask, what programming languages are you most confident? Are those programming language used in the interview?

[@0Mynameisearl0]

I think some type of study partners would also help as you could help keep each other motivated

[@Bukola1]

yes study partners can definitely help you alot!

Thanks for the video. I have already been contacted by a recruiter so I will have a timeline, but i plan to schedule interviews quite a ways off so I can have time to prep.

[@Bukola1]

Nice wishing you the best on your interviews!!

Great video and thank you. can you share the notes you prepared yourself as a guide.

[@Bukola1]

I'm hesitant to share it because I'd want to review it make sure its perfect before releasing it, but then I'd have to spend hours going through the notes... so basically I'm not sharing it at this time!

Sitting here just wondering if you meant to write “MANGA” with the first letters of each thumbnail company or if it was a beautiful fluke

[@gloria_221]

This is unrelated but I’ve been trying to research any in-person coding classes in nyc that maybe offer scholarships, because I really want to take some sort of coding summer course but I am a jobless high schooler right now. So if anyone could offer any advice or helpful programs that would be awesome. :)

[@Bukola1]

Hi Gloria! Does it need to be in person could you do an online coding classes? I’d recommend you checkout Udacity, they have a few scholarship coding courses than can lead to internships Here is a link btw: bit.ly/36JIPPs

[@Bukola1]

If you want another online coding class there is also Harvard CS50 class

[@Bukola1]

Finally an in person free program in NYC area is Galvanize Data Analyst Accelerator program

passing interviews as a woman is easy you are favored over a man

Spoiler alert: a job that takes months for the interview process IS NOT WORTH IT.
