I'd have light ppt ready. Even if for yourself, interviewer can see you were prepared.

I say over prepare. You probably won't need the ppt, but it's nice to have and will definitely make a good impression.

What industry? I wouldn't have a ppt but you should definitely have notes and draw some conclusions.

Thanks, I think a light ppt will be good. It also helps me organize my thoughts preparing.

I have a in person(online, 4 hours - 4 people) technical interview coming up and I have been practicing my coding for the past 3 weeks. The only thought I've been having is "what if I can't solve the coding question?" I am still fairly new to the software engineer scene and the position is for a level 1 software engineer.
Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷
