Oh maaan Kevin!! I clicked on this video with a huuuge smile on my face. First time i started watching you was 3 years ago and boyyyy I needed them videos
Thank you for this, Kevin! I have my first technical interview for a Junior Web Dev role next week and as excited as I am, I’ve been sort of panicking about it. This gives me a game plan and helps me know where to start preparing!
Hey Kevin, hope you're doing great, i wanna know do you use any other platform other than leetcode ? Because I did check your leetcode profile and you've solved above 500, so where do you practice now? On which platform?
Hey Kevin, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts for you
Can you make a video about where to apply for software jobs if you are a selftaught developer looking to get in the industry? Like which websites or how to msg recruiters etc...Also what exact job roles should u apply for? Please make it beginner friendly for people applying for their very first software job.
some companies ask system design questions regardless of experience and others wait until you have a certain number of years of experience normally to ask them. I've interviewed at both types of companies
Is it important to learning in public? Being a person who thinks too much before having any conversation and don't post on social media, will this fear slow down progress?
i don't think learning in public is important personally. i think it might help you build relationships/a brand, but the most important thing is simply learning so don't worry :)
I am a big fan of your approach to Leetcode questions but I would say please stop glorifying the company. As a ex-Google employee, one life lesson I learnt was please don’t get carried away by the FAANG name as they are the ones who throw people out without any intimation. I know companies goes through this cycle but the way company handled this is very bad and was super rude.
i think knowing how computers work at low levels can be important and helpful for optimizing things, but not necessarily for passing the majority of coding interviews (might need to know more low level stuff hft terms though)
i think you're asking which is harder: getting into the company or staying in it? if this is the question i think getting in is mostly about practicing and staying in is just about learning and working hard. i guess if i had say it's probably harder to get in since once you have the job you just need to deliver the things you're responsible for
We live in a different time period from your interviews. Now you get one interview with this big tech companies and get ghosted. This is coming from over 100 FAANG employees that just got laid off since november and have been actively seeking employment since with experience, certs, and extensive programming and technical skills
We have no data on FAANG employees trying to find new job. This sounds like cope. Regardless, whenever you do get an interview you’re either ready for it or not. Get good noob.
don't be afraid to ask questions! especially if someone is more senior than you i'm sure they'll understand that you'll have questions and asking questions will help you learn!
hi 👋 is it possible for a bootcamp grad /self-taught candidate without a computer science degree (or any degree for that matter) to get a developer title at Google? Say they have a really impressive portfolio perhaps? How often do non-degree candidates get hired, if at all? Please be honest 🙏
definitely! there are tons of people who work at google who are self taught or have gone to bootcamps. i think in general most companies today care less if you have a cs degree
@@KevinNaughtonJr Wow 🥲 you have no idea how reassuring and motivating it is to hear that. At least someday I can achieve my dream of working at Google even if I can't afford to go to a university. Thanks so much!
i think some companies might care about this especially if you don't have prior experience because they don't have other things to judge you with, but it really depends on the company
i think it always looks good to know the syntax of the language you choose to code in because that helps demonstrate your proficiency in it, but most interviewers are ok if you know that a certain method exists that you can use, but forget the name of it for example
that tweet was a joke because i can like every comment and therefore it's impossible to get 0 likes and i'm surprised people didn't get that it was a joke
