Coding

Intro

Now, almost all the Software Engineer interviews has a Live Coding step.
Usually you can choose the programming language you are more comfortable with, but it could depends by the company

Advices

Some say that you have to prepare solving tons of "hard" problems on leetcode. But this really depends from company to company.
Could be true for example for FAANG companies but not for others.

So, besides training your Algorithms and DS knowledge, you should also focus on things like communication.

Be used to explain your thought process. Don't be afraid of ask questions or even feedbacks.
Feel free to make a decision but always explain it.

Tip

Of course you don't have to talk ALL THE TIME, take some time for thinking and breathing, but definitely communicate your ideas, what you intend to do, which problems you think you might run into, and so on.

Topics

You can find all the related info about Algorithms and Data Structure in platform like Leetcode.
I don't see the need to deeply talk about them here at the moment
Take a look at the Resources section for some content

Questions

At the end of the interview, you should have time to ask some question on topics you are interested in.
Here's some examples of questions you could ask after a Live Coding interview:

• It’s the infra/software self-hosted or do you use some cloud provider, or both?
• Do you have “on call”? How does it work?
• How do you handle the sw fragmentation
• Do you need to align with other squads? If yes, how do you do that?
