They know you’re qualified, now they want to see if you vibe with them. Keep up the vibes. You’re smart. You got this.

well candidly i've never done a technical interview. i have done design interviews though generally though: • be respectful of their time, be grateful for the interview, and be yourself bc that's who will be showing up to work! • it's good to show how you think. that's what they're looking for more than a perfect outcome. problem solvers. • take some deep breaths and even power-pose beforehand (basically stand with hands and arms out in a star shape) • remind yourself you are talented and competent. you got this 🫡

moon is right: it's okay to not know, and demonstrate that you're able to close that knowledge gap. If given the option, choose the tools that you work with best - i.e., if you know JavaScript and are interviewing for a job that uses Go, use JavaScript - doing it in an environment in which you're unfamiliar will cause you to waste time trying to figure out how to do things in Go that you know how to do in JavaScript. You're there to show that you can write good code, not that you're a good Go programmer. Languages can be learned on the job (as I have done, multiple times).

1. if you don't know the answer explain how you would methodically find the answer. 2. ALWAYS SHOW UP ON TIME. PLACES CAN AND WILL DROP YOU IMMEDIATELY IF YOU'RE LATE.

Just one piece of advice: Ask ahead of time for the format of the interview. Sometimes prep work is needed. Ask if they allow you to use AI. Is it a test of ability to code, or do systems design? Or both? Understanding the format allows you best prepare for the specific questions at the interview. Everyone does it differently.

If they ask you to download/install software to join the meeting, don't. It might be a phishing attempt.
