How I Conducted Interviews at Google

Imagine going in for a job interview and it's with Neetcode

[yang]

Their nerves got to them 100%, when you're nervous, the emotional side of you brain takes over

[johnflavian]

The nervousness is just so brutal...
It clouds one's ability to think clearly.

[perenegro]

True. Nerves hit hard. I almost vomited in an online interview for the nerves I felt.

Do not be surprised why candidates underperform by a big shot during the technical interview.
Most of us get 1 interview per 10-20 applied positions, most of us can't prepare for everything since every company asks for different things. Its also very stressful and no candidate (unless if he/she has other secured option) will ever be 90-100% as efficient as he/she usually is.
Also in such environment we are given a task that we are not familiar of in an environment we are not comfortable in. Having many eyes tracking our every move and those same eyes will dictate the course of our future.
YES IT IS BRUTALLY STRESSFUL FOR US 💀💀💀

I had an interview the other day and found my question on leetcode after tho lol

[dwalleck]

This hit me a few weeks ago. I've been coding for years and I started stumbling over basic Python syntax. Partially I think it was because I wasn't told there would be coding in that interview. I just locked up. It sucks, but it happened, I learned from it, and next time I'll be less stressed out.

[richoandy]

I think coders are not meant to be in a high pressure situation where it's like a last game of best of 7 NBA grand finals, we are meant to solve it like it's an adventure puzzle game

[chrish]

Over-thinking and clock watching are my biggest struggle. I just bombed a stupidly ease coding test I should have finished in ten minutes because I was so concerned about finishing it fast. Walked away to eat lunch and as I was making myself a sandwich the solution popped into my head. Oh well.

[mjmbk]

I got my cs degree and was leetcoding for 8 months. My nerves would be so wound up i'd fail easy leetcode questions.

[guygreenleaf]

Lmao bro ngl if I walked into an interview and saw you were the interviewer I’d immediately know I’m cooked

[sx.]

imagine watching neetcode videos to prepare for an interview and u get interviewed by him😂

[megatroneata]

you can prepare as much as you want but nerves will sometimes make you forget how to breathe

[riyansh]

my resume never gets select by google, I don't know why, i have projects, codeforces, codechef rating, hackathon winner then also i dont know why

[lalalander]

That’s actually a good point, I don’t really know how I should structure my for loops to handle edge conditions. Any tips?

[Willifordwav]

Sounds like Google spends more time on hiring the best devs than actually utilizing them 😂

[bombrman]

I studied on Amazon 50 and neetcode 75/150
Now I can identify patterns etc, but I struggle to implement in code. Should I memorize at this point after I understood the theory or what should I be doing to get good at implementing a solution after I get it

[coffeebytes]

😭 I fumbled so hard on the balanced parenthesis question during my gang interview

[somitmeshram]

How can we get the interview questions though?

[sx.]

any of the interviewees that had neetcode as the interviewer😂
