Thank you for this, Kevin! I have my first technical interview for a Junior Web Dev role next week and as excited as I am, I’ve been sort of panicking about it. This gives me a game plan and helps me know where to start preparing!

good luck Ethan you've got this! :)

[@roshantadadikar2118]

Hey Kevin, hope you're doing great, i wanna know do you use any other platform other than leetcode ? Because I did check your leetcode profile and you've solved above 500, so where do you practice now? On which platform?

[@mikahbee]

[@nishantkothane9333]

Knowing how a computer works at very low level for example at hardware level or assembly can help me write a good in cracking interview?

[@KevinNaughtonJr]

i think knowing how computers work at low levels can be important and helpful for optimizing things, but not necessarily for passing the majority of coding interviews (might need to know more low level stuff hft terms though)

[@sohamdata]

were you asked any system design questions as a fresher, or for internships during uni?

[@KevinNaughtonJr]

some companies ask system design questions regardless of experience and others wait until you have a certain number of years of experience normally to ask them. I've interviewed at both types of companies

[@DanielAzubuine]

Kevin it would be great if you could point out some materials that will be helpful to us while practicing

[@najlepszyinformatyk1661]

Great, what's your point of view about coding interviews in frontend?

[@hani1909]

Thanks man great advice at perfect time

[@saidibra9231]

you did not mention what resources you used during your preparing for the interviews

[@mikahbee]

Because he learned the topics, not interview preps

[@hemanthpothala356]

clearing the interview or sustaining in the company which is hard ?

[@KevinNaughtonJr]

i think you're asking which is harder: getting into the company or staying in it? if this is the question i think getting in is mostly about practicing and staying in is just about learning and working hard. i guess if i had say it's probably harder to get in since once you have the job you just need to deliver the things you're responsible for

[@rrrraquel9314]

hi 👋 is it possible for a bootcamp grad /self-taught candidate without a computer science degree (or any degree for that matter) to get a developer title at Google? Say they have a really impressive portfolio perhaps? How often do non-degree candidates get hired, if at all? Please be honest 🙏

[@KevinNaughtonJr]

definitely! there are tons of people who work at google who are self taught or have gone to bootcamps. i think in general most companies today care less if you have a cs degree

[@rrrraquel9314]

@@KevinNaughtonJr Wow 🥲 you have no idea how reassuring and motivating it is to hear that. At least someday I can achieve my dream of working at Google even if I can't afford to go to a university. Thanks so much!

Kevin I think It would be better to share how to survive in the current situation. I believe hiring is very difficult now.

Does university grades matters When applying for entry level software engineer job if I do not have any prior experience

[@KevinNaughtonJr]

i think some companies might care about this especially if you don't have prior experience because they don't have other things to judge you with, but it really depends on the company

[@venkatesandh8958]

I am a big fan of your approach to Leetcode questions but I would say please stop glorifying the company. As a ex-Google employee, one life lesson I learnt was please don’t get carried away by the FAANG name as they are the ones who throw people out without any intimation. I know companies goes through this cycle but the way company handled this is very bad and was super rude.

[@son0funiverse]

always makes good videos

[@hiteshnagal]

Is it important to learning in public? Being a person who thinks too much before having any conversation and don't post on social media, will this fear slow down progress?

[@KevinNaughtonJr]

i don't think learning in public is important personally. i think it might help you build relationships/a brand, but the most important thing is simply learning so don't worry :)

[@sohamdata]

during the interview did the interviewer look for the correctness of the systax of your language?

[@KevinNaughtonJr]

i think it always looks good to know the syntax of the language you choose to code in because that helps demonstrate your proficiency in it, but most interviewers are ok if you know that a certain method exists that you can use, but forget the name of it for example

[@magicmagus1459]

Can you make a video about where to apply for software jobs if you are a selftaught developer looking to get in the industry? Like which websites or how to msg recruiters etc...Also what exact job roles should u apply for? Please make it beginner friendly for people applying for their very first software job.

[@KevinNaughtonJr]

I'll put it on my list and see what I can do thanks for the suggestion!

[@lawsofhumannature2049]

We live in a different time period from your interviews. Now you get one interview with this big tech companies and get ghosted. This is coming from over 100 FAANG employees that just got laid off since november and have been actively seeking employment since with experience, certs, and extensive programming and technical skills

[@mr.mystiks9968]

We have no data on FAANG employees trying to find new job. This sounds like cope. Regardless, whenever you do get an interview you’re either ready for it or not. Get good noob.
