Ace Your Technical Interview

Technical interviews score your reasoning, not just the final answer. Here is how to walk in prepared.

Before you code

• Re-read the job description and note the top 3 skills it emphasises.
• Clarify the problem and edge cases before writing a single line.
• State your assumptions out loud so the interviewer can correct course early.

While you solve

• Start with a working brute-force solution, then optimise.
• Narrate your thinking — interviewers are evaluating how you approach problems.
• Have concrete examples ready of projects where you used each core skill.

If you get stuck

Say what you are thinking, walk through your approach, and ask targeted questions. A calm recovery often scores higher than a fast but silent solve.
