Dear reader,
I know what it feels like to be asked to build mind-blowing algorithms on the spot and write flawless codes on the whiteboard. I was asked to do the same thing as well!
And you might be preparing for a similar interview, probably tomorrow, the next week, or a year later. I'm here to help you understand the basics of computer science fundamentals and learn how you can apply these fundamentals to crack your coding interview.
This book teaches you what to prepare before you appear for the interview, understand the job application process, how to approach each step, how to approach the technical and non-technical questions, how to find the perfect suitable job for you, and what to do once you have the offer in hand.
I'm excited for you as well as the skills you will develop through preparation. It will be worth it, irrespective of where your efforts take you!
Read through the chapters carefully, as they consist of crucial insights that make the difference between a 'no hire' and a 'hire.'
Remember that interviews are tricky! Some interviewers ask easier questions than others. But you know what? Getting asked easier questions doesn't make the task of getting the offer easier. Getting the offer is not about solving the algorithms flawlessly. In fact, very few candidates do! It is rather about answering the questions better than the other candidates.
Don't stress out if you get tricky questions; probably everyone else thought they were difficult, too. You don't have to be flawless.
Keep practicing, study hard, and all the very best!
