Hello fellow fishes!

So a recruiter approached me a while ago for a more technology oriented position, but I need some advice on how to handle technical interviews with Google (have one coming very soon) since I butchered the last one a few years back (as a freshman) and I haven't done a technical coding interview in quite a while... Does anyone have any tips or advice? Or know anything that I can expect and prepare for?

Thanks!!

P.S. yes I know I should've kept practicing my LC. :(

Wow this definitely looks helpful!! Thank you! But this is also making me more anxious than ever about writing code in front of an audience lol...

Get back to practicing! Do you remember where you screwed up the first time? It's a good idea to strengthen the areas that you know you are weak in.

Thank you!! Fingers crossed that it works out

One of the major things that interviews look for are strong communication skills. So being able to relay messages quickly and efficiently.

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?

-Option to exit to industry for a few years at a 9-6 job?

Anything I should consider when making my decision? Any risks I haven't foreseen?
