In this video we walk through some of my tips for having success in a programming interview. We start with some high level details on how programming interviews work. Next we dive into my favorite places to find practice problems. After this we start talking about some specific tips you can do during an interview to improve your likelihood of receiving an offer. We end the video talking about what you should wear on interview day (men + women).

Beneficial info definitely deserves more views and feedback. An interview is a big challenge, and a candidate needs tips to be prepared.

Great Video! Since your doing Data Science / Machine Learning for your job, can you make another video specifically diving deeper into this field? With maybe more example questions/ answering those and directing us on some resources (favorite bloggers, authors, YouTube channels specific to Data Science) you think are useful.

And then they say, "Just do a little, we know you could do more." Then you notice a massive class imbalance. You SMOTE to fix it, and they say no thanks. 🤯 I'm tempted to reply, "I can half-ass it if you want." 🤷‍♂️

Wait what?! That's why I wasn't called back, apprently they weren't a fan of the half life head crap I wore to the interview!
