My husband is going through the interview process at Vanguard for an entry level software engineering role. He just graduated bootcamp but had been self studying for years as well. He's definitely junior level. What kinds of questions should he expect in his technical interview?

D1's answer is usually the correct one, especially at larger companies. Generally though, the question is broad and difficult to answer without knowing what industries/companies he's applying to and what his area of focus is. Small to mid-sized companies sometimes have take-home exercises or more experience/skills based (vs theory-based) questions.

Glassdoor is great to get a sense of the type of interview questions to expect (esp. at bigger companies).

Getting that first position is the most difficult and can be an emotional roller coaster of hopefulness and disappointment. Gotta just keep keep practicing & applying, and studying up on the questions you missed. Also, pro-tip: apply to dream / stretch companies after getting some interview experience rather than first.

Even mid or senior level can fail technical interviews if they are not familiar with the leetcode/codility platform.

The technical and technical interview skills are two different things.

This right here, great point.

Technical interviews involving DSA vs your knowledge based on work experiences/projects can be 2 completely different things.

He should expect questions he won't be able to answer clearly and immediately, and expect to have to explain a pattern of approach to how he'd figure out how to solve them. Keeping a level head and remembering nobody wins them all will be worth a lot. Persistence and willingness to be communicative are important.

Their software is bad. They don't update or innovate. He won't learn much
