Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview: Skills and Strategies for Technical Interviewing
Coding interviews are a different breed from other interviews and, as such, require specialized skills and techniques. This talk will teach you how to prepare for coding interviews, what FAANGS+ really look for, and how to tackle the toughest programming and algorithm problems. This is not a fluffy be-your-best talk; it is deeply technical and will discuss specific algorithm and data structure topics.
Signed copies of McDowell’s latest book, Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview: Pass Tough Technical Interviews, Get Noticed, and Negotiate Successfully (Cracking the Interview & Career), will be available for sale.
This event will be held in person in South Hall and also live streamed via Zoom. Advance registration is required.
