PREFACE #




WELCOME TO MY INTERVIEW GUIDE! #

My name is Nick and I'm a senior software engineer at Microsoft. I have
participated in around 100 software engineering interviews on both sides of the
table—as a candidate and an interviewer. I have passed interviews at both big
tech/FAANG companies as well as smaller startups.

This guide is my attempt to codify my opinionated interview process for the
benefit of the software development community.

THESE ARE MY OWN VIEWS

Everything in this guide represents my own views and not the views of any of my
current or past employers.


SUPPORTING THIS GUIDE #

TARGET AUDIENCE #

This guide is directed at both new and experienced software engineering
candidates. It focuses on individual contributor (IC) engineering rather than
engineering management. If you are interviewing for engineering management
positions, there may be still be some beneficial sections of this guide;
however, much of it may not be applicable.


GOALS AND NON-GOALS #

There are a number of incredible existing resources that I believe tend to be
too comprehensive to be directly actionable. The niche I'm trying to fill is
providing my specific, opinionated process for prepping for interviews. My way
of doing things won't work for everyone, and that's totally okay! But if you
like my process, I'm hoping this guide is very actionable.

Goals:

 * Be opinionated and actionable
 * Be easy to read
 * Focus on methodology

Non-goals:

 * List every resource under the sun
 * Contain the depth and breadth of information that exists in other excellent
   resources
 * Address adjacent topics like how to get an interview or how to negotiate
   salary


HOW TO READ THIS GUIDE #

This guide isn't too long, so my recommendation is to read it front-to-back at
first. Since it's intentionally opinionated, you may find that my approach won't
work for you, and that's totally okay.

There are a lot of concepts that I believe will just "stick" once you read them
the first time through. During your prep, I recommend you check back to relevant
sections as appropriate to refresh your memory.


🚧 UNDER CONSTRUCTION! #

This guide will always be a work in progress. Please give me some grace if you
feel like I haven't covered a topic adequately or if you feel like my advice is
wrong. I have a page for feedback and would appreciate any feedback you have!
