I just had an amazing #interview, but I am still not sure about the result 😅 . . Nowadays, what is happening is, it doesn't matter if you have an #awesome interview still, there are chances of rejection that too without any #feedback, as "feedback is confidential" 🤐 Just a few suggestions and observations of the current market for #SDETs-> 1. Sometimes we take casual to the #interviews where we don't wanna join, or just give them for the sake of practice, instead give your 100% at least, every time, doesn't matter if you wanna join the #company or not, eventually, it will boost your #confidence or get know to know about the different people asking different sets of questions. 2. Coding questions are the most #important part for us to be asked usually in the first half of the #interview, be prepared and show the logical approach first and then write #clean and #crisp code, even if you know the code, take some time to think and then write it, don't be in hurry, don't let your interviewer know your next steps. 3. Concepts #learning is important, apart from DSA, automation #framework architecture, your current #product knowledge, end-to-end delivery process, defects handling, communications across the team, tools you are using, complete tech stack used for the product, including front-end, backend, Database, for logs, for #monitoring, for #pushers and what not, have been continuously asked in the #interviews. 4. Always ask #questions in the last 4-5 minutes of the interviews, ask questions about the expectations from the candidate they are hiring, what exactly is the role, tech stack, this shows your interest in the organization. #SDETs guys you can add if there are any thoughts, also experts if you feel something is missing, feel free to add !!! Stay tuned for more !!! Sahil kapoor 🙂

“Interviews Are Conversations, Not Interrogations” Description: “The right person for the job isn’t always the best coder, but the best fit.” — Developers and HR alike, here’s how to make technical interviews smoother, smarter, and more meaningful. How to improve interviews: • Prepare practical coding challenges that relate to real-world tasks. • Focus on problem-solving and how candidates think, not just their answers. • Encourage a two-way conversation, allowing candidates to ask questions. • Use behavioral interview techniques to assess soft skills like teamwork and communication. • Create a comfortable and inclusive environment to help candidates perform at their best. #SoftwareDevelopment #WebDevelopment #TechTrends #Programming #FullStackDeveloper #AI #CloudComputing #Cybersecurity #JavaScript #CodingLife #DevOps #FrontEndDevelopment #BackendDevelopment #HumanResources #Recruitment #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #CareerDevelopment #WorkLifeBalance #EmployeeEngagement #DiversityAndInclusion #FutureOfWork #Leadership #HRTech #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #LeadershipDevelopment #Innovation #Motivation #WorkplaceCulture #FutureOfWork #DigitalTransformation #linkedin #post #connections #myconmection #treding

🚀 Why Real-Life Problem Solving Should Replace LeetCode in Interviews 🚀 In the tech industry, it's time we rethink our interview processes. While LeetCode challenges help sharpen problem-solving skills, they often don't reflect the complexities of real-world scenarios. Here's why real-life problems are better: 1. Relevance: Real-life problems mirror the challenges you'll face on the job, preparing you better for your role. 2. Contextual Understanding: They require a deeper understanding of systems and user needs, not just algorithmic knowledge. 3. Creative Thinking: Solving real-life issues encourages innovation and out-of-the-box solutions. 4. Holistic Approach: These problems test your ability to design, implement, and scale solutions, providing a more comprehensive assessment of your skills. It's time for interviews to evolve, focusing more on practical, real-world problems that truly test a candidate's ability to succeed in the workplace. #TechInterviews #ProblemSolving #CareerGrowth #Innovation #Hiring

🌟 Day 1: Let's Talk About Interviewing! 🌟 Starting my 30-day LinkedIn posting challenge with a topic that resonates deeply with many of us in tech: 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬. Interviews are supposed to evaluate our skills, but sometimes, the process feels disconnected from reality. Here are a few thoughts based on my experience: 1️⃣ 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐯𝐬. 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 Many interviews expect you to master algorithms or niche concepts that have little to do with your day-to-day responsibilities. Shouldn't interviews focus more on solving practical, real-world problems? 2️⃣ "𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐢𝐭𝐇𝐮𝐛 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞" While this sounds fair in theory, most of the projects I've worked on are private and client-owned. Does a GitHub profile really define my expertise? 3️⃣ 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐬 𝐯𝐬. 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Instead of relying on a flashy portfolio, shouldn’t we value 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 and the 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐂𝐕? Those seem like a better measure of capability. On the flip side, I’ve also had positive experiences! My current role (at Grubhub / Just Eat Takeaway.com) stands out: the interview process involved solving real-life problems I encounter daily as a React developer. Four interviews (three technical) that felt practical, relevant, and truly reflective of the work I do. That’s the kind of experience we need more of! What are your thoughts? Have you encountered interviews that felt disconnected, or ones that really aligned with your day-to-day work?

I thought I wouldn’t clear Google’s tech interviews after facing rejection by Sprinklr💔 But I turned the impossible into possible with this strategy… ✅ Instead of spending time on random concepts, I created a list of important DSA topics. ✅ I solved problems on Codeforces and participated in coding challenges. ✅ I learned to break down complex problems into simpler steps. But even after doing all of this, I still didn’t feel fully ready to face the tech giant’s interview. I understood that my tech skills were sound but I was lacking in communicating my approach Luckily, my college organized a mock interview drive at that time and I was able to improve my communication skills and build confidence💪🏻 If you’re appearing for interviews at top MNCs, I would highly recommend you give mock interviews.  No need to worry about finding experienced SDEs! You can easily find them on Preplaced and book a FREE session = https://lnkd.in/gcFUSrCi Beyond conducting your mock interviews, these SDEs will help you develop MAANG-level skills.

Not everyone feels comfortable with live coding assessments during interviews, and that's okay. Some incredibly talented developers may struggle to perform under the pressure of being observed in real time, even though they excel in their day-to-day work. If you can't do well in a live coding session, do not doubt your capabilities. It doesn't define your skills or your worth as a developer. Companies that enforce live coding as the only way to evaluate technical skills risk missing out on great talent. There are other effective ways to assess a candidate’s abilities, like take-home assignments or in-depth technical discussions, that can create a more inclusive and fair hiring process. What are your thoughts on this? Should live coding be mandatory in interviews, or should we offer multiple options to assess technical skills? #Hiring #TechInterviews #LiveCoding #SoftwareDevelopment #InclusiveHiring #Recruitment #DeveloperCommunity #CareerAdvice
