ALL THE TECH BROS I NEED HELP WITH INTERVIEWS

[Glorious King]

SO RECENTLY I'VE BEEN GIVING A LOT OF INTERVIEWS

AND INITALLY I WOULD GET CUCKED IN 1 OR 2 ROUNDS

NOW IM MAKING IT TO THE FINALS AND GETTING CUCKED

EVEN THOUGH I PROVIDE ALL THE SKILLS THAT THOSE COMPANIES NEED YET IM JUST FALLING SHORT


I';VE LEGIT ASKED ALL MY FRIENDS, SENIORS AND ALL THEY MENTION IS " LUCK"

HOW TO FIX THAT? @Jason Voorhees

NOTE: IM NOT AN AUTIST , MY COMMUNICATION SKILLS ARE REALLY GOOD
ALSO MY TECH CONCEPTS ARE STRONG ASWELL

ALRIGHT MY BAD

IVE BEEN APPLYING FOR ML AND AI ROLES

WHERE THEY DIDN'T FOCUS MUCH ON DSA RATHER YOUR PROBLEM SLOVING SKILLS

WHICH I DID GIVE A GOOD APPROACH

YET LUCK JUST DOESNT WANT TO TAKE MY SIDE

For AI/ML I can't help you much because I myself have never applied for those roles. Maybe learn more deeply about CNNs, random forests,, XGBoost etc classifiers, data preprocessing stuff like smote etc. I know some companies like to ask edge case questions like that. For other roles DSA is very important especially for big tech but startups tend to ask more system design and OOPs concepts. Occasionally computer networks stuff too

Do some side projects, they will help you in interviews because you can talk about it and give a good image of you

Demonstrate your ability to take whatever parts of their business operations are fragmented, and show you can handle pipelines that require complex thinking.

For example: Strong ability in Python/SQL might not be enough for them to go, "this is a great hire". But if you show ability to wrap SQL in Python code, scripts stored in S3 serverless, triggered by lambdas based on the needed goal etc, it'll improve your chance. So knowing that pyodbc is top pick for SQL Server selects/writes but something like redshift_connector would be top of redshift.

You need to ask them what their chokepoints are, and demonstrate that you have some knowledge they need, on something they're stuck on.

It's like turning the interview from 2D to 3D. They'll realise you stand out because they NEED to know more from you. It's not flaunting meaningless knowledge. It's listening to them, (ask them a simple question about what's stopping them from scaling or some shit), then position yourself as having skills required to help them achieve something above and beyond.

Note: this'll help you get the job, no doubt. Especially in tech. Won't prevent you from being exploited or blocked from progressing once in the role.

Try to demonstrate mastery in an area where they really need resources. A lot of it is luck. But appear super enthusiastic and ready to fix their blockers.

That'll get you the job. Then again. Won't guarantee compounding pay over time.


A good scoping exercise is to find out if the company is a hyperscaler with infrastructure already in place, just looking for someone who can fill a role; or a company capped by inertia to evolving tech. I mean, if it's Google, MSFT etc, you just have to be excellent with data, programming etc.

If you're interviewing for Microsoft, you're a VB/C#.NET guy who uses SSMS everyday for database stuff. If Amazon, you're a Python AWS guy.

You gotta play your role.

You need to tailor yourself way more to the company and dept your interviewing for, than you realise.
