I'm a big fan of asking for feedback, even on things like my podcast series and live streaming. Feedback is always helpful. Some companies are reluctant to provide good (if any) feedback, and some companies LOVE to give feedback. Why aren't companies more consistent about this?

Every company will have different hiring needs, so there's no "one size fits all" answer here. But if the company is large, and constantly hiring, you'll probably have an easier time asking to postpone your interview.

All companies interview differently. Some will only do on-site coding, some will do a big take-home challenge, some will be a hybrid of both. Should a company be OBLIGATED to interview you if they ask you to build a large or lengthy take-home assignment?

You'll hear me say over and over that interviews should be "conversation, not interrogation". The best interviews get all parties talking and not just feel like rigid rapid-fire Q&A sessions. Let's use an example of monolith applications versus microservice architecture, and when you might choose to use one over the other.

In this episode, I share more thoughts on applying to multiple jobs at the same time, common Q4 hiring trends I've seen in 2019 and 2020 and whether those play into 2021, and more.

In this episode, I discuss how companies look at your job history and responsibilities, not just your previous title, when screening you for an interview.

Every interview question has a reason for being asked. Let's explore what people are REALLY asking in these kinds of behavioral questions and how to answer them well.

I've helped thousands of people prepare for technical interviews. By far, this is my number one piece of advice on what to do before going to an interview. It seems like common sense, but it's amazing how many people don't follow this simple tip to improve memory recall.

I've helped people get jobs at FAANG companies, and I often get asked what to study. I share some thoughts on common problem types you could get asked and how to study. Check out this YouTube video I made on how to study technical challenges in a different way to reverse engineer solutions and drastically shorten your preparation time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT0dS9C9uwo

Welcome to the first episode of the podcast. My whole web site and live stream are dedicated to this exact question of how to prepare for technical interviews to get a better job!
