What kind of practice are we talking?

Is this for an entry level job? Having to provide work samples seems like a confidentiality issue, which I would think in-house attorneys understand.

I have a phone screen interview with AWS for the position of Systems Engineer with the Linux team early next week. I’ve been a Sys Admin for the last 4 years, and I’m not very well-versed with coding. The phone screen does have whiteboard coding, any tips on what I could do to prepare for this? I’m not sure if I can let the interviewer know I’m not too strong with coding. I do want to take up the challenge, and also find out if the role would require extensive coding though. Any tips?

By contract is 1.

Thanks
