#253 - The Real-World Step-by-Step Guide to Tech Interviews (Not for Google or Meta)

Develop Yourself

Interviewing is arguably the highest paying skill you can have as a developer.

I don't think this is fair but it is reality.

I've taken part in well over 100 interviews both as an interviewee and interviewer. I've worked with dozens of developers to ace their interviews and increase their salaries by tens of thousands of dollars.

This is not for developers looking to get into Big Tech. This episode is for the 99%.

We're going to cover the 4 most common stages of the tech interview from recruiter filtering to technical interview to "tell me about yourself" and finally the offer stage.

Here's the unit testing course I mentioned in the episode that you seriously need to check out if you don't know how to write a test: https://github.com/CodeCoachJS/js_pro_unit_testing
