Nowadays, you not only have dedicated books to prepare for the coding interview, like Crack the Coding Interview Questions, but you have online courses and Coding Bootcamps to practice for coding interviews. When I was hunting for my first job there wasn’t much help available we were totally reliant on our textbooks of programming languages and data structure to prepare for interviews, but things have changed in last 10 years. So, the big question is, how do you prepare for coding/programming job interviews? Which subjects should you read up on? Which questions will you need to solve? How do you deal with coding and other technology related questions? You can learn from my experience and prepare better for your programming job interviews. Unfortunately, I learned this a little too late, after spoiling my chances at Microsoft and Amazon, but you don’t need to.

It pretty obvious that if you don’t know what to learn then you are bound to fail, hence it becomes increasingly important that you prepare hard in advance. The single most important reason for failing those coding job interviews is the lack of knowledge and practice. Most of the computer science graduates dream of working for Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple but only a few programmers clear their difficult coding interviews. It is, in fact, one of the hardest things in your life and you need to put your best effort to find a job in your dream company. Many junior developers dream of making it at one of the larger tech companies, but, to be honest with you, getting your first job is never easy.
