Advice from candidates

3 pieces of advice, in their own words. Names removed.

• I’d definitely recommend clarifying the question before jumping to a solution and asking for hints if you’re stuck, they’re usually willing to help since you’ve reached the interview stage and you just need one final good performance.

• keep reading about OOP concepts, memory management, garbage collection, etc. These are very important for any interview and show that you understand details. DSA wasn’t required here, but it usually is and is super important, so don’t skip solving problems.

  preparation · 2024-25

• Be honest in interviews and don’t fake anything. If you don’t know something, try to answer it and be sure to ask follow up questions.
