Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for a coding interview?

Practice problems regularly, understand common patterns (two pointers, sliding window, BFS/DFS), always communicate your thought process, and handle edge cases. Quality practice matters more than quantity.

What are soft skills and why do they matter?

Soft skills include communication, teamwork, time estimation, and handling feedback. They're crucial because software development is a team sport - you'll spend as much time collaborating as coding.

How do I answer "Tell me about yourself" in an interview?

Give a 2-minute summary: your background, relevant experience, why you're interested in this role, and what you bring. Focus on what's relevant to the position and end with enthusiasm for the opportunity.
