1. Preparation is Key 📚
- Master Core Concepts: Brush up on data structures (Arrays, Linked Lists, Trees) and algorithms (Sorting, Searching, Dynamic Programming).
- Practice Coding: Solve problems on platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank.
- Review System Design: Understand how to design scalable systems (e.g., microservices, databases).
2. Technical Problem-Solving 💡
- Read Questions Carefully: Avoid misunderstandings by rephrasing the problem in your own words.
- Write Pseudocode First: Outline your solution before diving into actual code.
- Test Edge Cases: Ensure your code handles unexpected inputs (e.g., empty arrays, null values).
3. Behavioral Interview Strategies 🗣️
- Use STAR Method: Structure answers with Situation, Task, Action, Result.
- Highlight Collaboration: Share examples of teamwork or mentoring others.
- Show Passion: Discuss projects you’ve worked on outside of work.
4. Communication & Etiquette 🤝
- Ask Clarifying Questions: Show you’re thoughtful and detail-oriented.
- Explain Your Thought Process: Interviewers value problem-solving logic over final answers.
- Stay Calm Under Pressure: Take deep breaths and ask for hints if needed.
