Official sequel to Cracking the Coding Interview is out

Available for pre-orders now and coming in January of 2025

Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview, in addition to covering a bunch of new questions and topics, teaches you how to think instead of memorizing. How to negotiate, exactly what to say, and how to not screw up your negotiations before they even start How to manage your job search, end to end, and balance interview prep with applications and outreach A worksheet to help you figure out what order you need to engage with the companies you’re targeting to ensure that all your offers come in at the same time How to get in the door at top companies without relying on referrals, including email templates and examples of good and bad outreach An internal look at FAANG (and other) company rubrics to help understand what interviewers really care about, no matter what company you're applying to What you need to know about behavioral interviews, whether you want to or not, and how to avoid the mistakes that even great engineers make A list of very specific questions to ask your interviewers (not just to look smart but to learn useful things) How technical interviews got to be so broken and how to get over hating them so you can win I also spend some time on owning and sharing data on how flawed technical interviewing is and, most importantly, how to manage your psychology so you can get past that.
