A friend of mine recently used an interview assistant called pluely during the virtual interview and got placed at a big company.

A few weeks later, he’s struggling with daily tasks, assignments, and constantly worrying about getting exposed.
Cracking the interview is one thing. Doing the job every day is another.

AI should help you learn not pretend you know what you don’t.
What’s your take?

for the past few days i had a few interviews at different companies, and honestly the interviews aren't the hard part.

you finish the last round, they say "we'll get back to you", and then you get 2-3 weeks of refreshing your inbox at midnight and replaying every single answer you gave.

and i hate that part...

so i started building a small thing for myself. it records the interview, goes through the whole thing after, and tells you where you actually stand.

it looks at stuff like who talked more, whether they switched from testing you to selling you, and what you left hanging.

and at the end it gives you a score : your actual chances of getting the offer, based on how the interviewer behaved during the interview, not on how you felt walking out of it.

basically the debrief a friend would give you, if a friend had been sitting in the room.

here's where i'm stuck: the recording. i'm not building something that tapes people secretly. in a lot of places that's straight up illegal, and honestly it should be. so the only version that works is you ask first and they say yes.

which is the part i can't figure out alone:

would you actually say "do you mind if i record this for my own notes?" at the start of an interview? or does that torpedo you on the spot?

I have a technical judgment interview coming up for a Hardware TPM role from Platforms and Devices org.

Could anyone please recommend me some good resources for mock interviews specifically for Hardware TPM?

I know there are many mock interview websites but they are all for software TPMs at Google.

Appreciates any of your helpful suggestions to prepare for the interview. Thanks

Have a opportunity for a role but part of the process is doing a 60 minute assessment. Anyone have any ideas of how to prepare or what types of functions their test covers? I can’t find anything online. It would be a role in life sciences.

What helped so far is using resume.zoevera.com to customize my resume for each application and prepare.zoevera.com to practice interviews with scenarios I'm expecting. It made my prep feel a lot more intentional instead of just hoping I covered the right things. Anyone else found something that keeps everything organized?

I have a case study interview coming up with some senior directors for a senior data management role with capgemini invent. Has anyone else been through this, any tips etc?

They’ve asked me to prepare a 15 minute presentation but the interview is an hour. Will the rest of the interview focus on the case/presentation or just be a standard interview?

Feeling a bit confused about it all so not super confident

I've been developing for the past 2-3 years during my uni time building projects doing freelance and stuff

Now I have to prepare for a technical interview DSA specific, any tips for it , I'm thinking of neetcode and also

I'm comfortable in python and if a JD is tilting more towards Java do i need to Practice DSA in java too or can i pick one language and the interviewer won't have a prob.?

Any tips or guidance will be appreciated

Hi everyone,

I have my 2nd Technical (Face-to-Face) interview for the GenAI Developer role at Infosys coming up soon.

If anyone has recently appeared for this round, I'd really appreciate any insights on:

• The types of technical questions asked
• Focus areas (LLMs, RAG, Agentic AI, Python, System Design, etc.)
• Overall interview experience and difficulty level

Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Why is it so hard to pass a interview it’s so intense and intimidating. I try to go in there like it’s a conversation and prepare before and question be the total opposite.

Hi everyone,

I recently got shortlisted for the American Express Data Analytics Apprenticeship and received a call from HR. They told me there will be two interview rounds, and that I should be comfortable with:

* Advanced SQL

* Advanced Excel (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, etc.)

* Pandas for data cleaning

This will be my first ever technical interview, so I'm honestly quite nervous.

I have about 5–6 days to prepare. I already know the basics of SQL, Excel, and Python/Pandas, but I'm far from interview-ready.

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have interviewed at AmEx or similar companies.

Some specific questions:

1. If you only had 5–6 days, how would you structure your preparation?

2. Which SQL topics are asked most often? (Window functions, CTEs, joins, subqueries, etc.?)

3. What level of Excel should I expect? Is it mostly formulas, Pivot Tables, or business scenarios?

4. For Pandas, what kinds of data-cleaning questions are commonly asked?

5. Are live coding questions common, or are they mostly conceptual?

6. What types of business or case-study questions should I prepare for?

7. Any mock interview resources or websites you'd recommend?

8. If you've interviewed at American Express, what was your experience like, and what would you do differently if you could prepare again?

I'm planning to study around 10 hours a day for the next week, so I'd love to prioritize the highest-yield topics instead of trying to learn everything.

Any advice, preparation strategies, or interview experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I’m in (or recently was in) interview prep mode and kept running into the same thing:

• Too many resources, no weekly plan

• ChatGPT helps for 10 minutes then loses the thread

• LeetCode feels random without a path

• Mock interviews are awkward / expensive / hard to schedule

I’ve been building something for that loop: you pick a target role + timeline, it generates a prep plan, then you study with an AI mentor that knows the plan and can do mock interview practice.

It’s free to try. I’m looking for ~10 people currently prepping (next 4–8 weeks) who’ll use it for a few days and tell me what’s broken - happy to give free Pro for 2 weeks in exchange for honest feedback.

Not trying to spam the sub or market - genuinely want people who are actively interviewing.

If that’s you:

1. What role + timeline are you prepping for?
2. What’s your biggest bottleneck right now (plan, motivation, DSA, system design, behavioral, mocks)?

I’ll reply with access / how to get started. Roast it if it sucks; that’s useful too.

Sharing my Amazon interview experience in case it helps someone preparing for SDE roles.

I do not remember the exact OA DSA problem. The second OA question was more “dev” based, where HackerRank gave access to a remote IDE. It had an AI sidebar available, somewhat like Cursor.

Round 1

DSA + LPs.

Questions asked:

1. Find the distance between any two nodes in a binary tree.
   • Parent pointers were not given.
   • Input had only root, source, and target.
2. Design a stack that supports: All in O(1) time.
   • push
   • pop
   • getMiddle
   • getTop

I was able to solve the first question completely. For the second one, I got the core logic and data structure choice right, but did not finish the full implementation. I implemented getMiddle after deciding the basic DS approach.

LPs were also asked.

Round 2

LPs + coding/OOD.

Question:

Basic Calculator

After solving it, the interviewer asked me to extend the solution in an object-oriented manner.

One thing that stood out: the interviewer mentioned that my solution was too close to the original/standard solution.

Round 3

This was mostly behavioral + design discussion.

Started with “tell me about yourself” for around 5-7 minutes.

Then he probed quite hard on why I wanted to switch, since I had already made one switch and was now looking for a second.

After that, he asked about the best thing I had worked on in my previous org. This felt a bit close to NDA territory, but I explained it carefully without going into confidential details. He asked follow-up questions like why we used X instead of Y.

At the end, he asked only one design-extension question:

How would you include a new feature in this existing design?

I proposed two solutions. He then asked me to write down the pros and cons of both. I wrote and explained at least 3 pros and 3 cons for each.

Finally, he asked if I had any questions for him.

Result

Rejected.

Recruiter said feedback from Round 2 and Round 3 was negative, but did not share specifics despite me asking explicitly.

Extra prep notes

Apart from the questions I got, I also saw these Amazon-tagged questions while checking prep resources:

• Compute Edit Distance
• Design a Concurrent Restaurant Waitlist and Seating System

Both seem relevant for Amazon-style prep: one for classic DP/string fundamentals, and one for OOD/concurrency/design thinking.

Hope this helps someone preparing.

Please give me tips for Technical Interview?
I will be interviewing with them.

Thank uuuuu

I’m currently applying to NQ roles and I would love your thoughts on structures for explaining deals and your role on a deal. Any other structures as well, for instance on what you did in your seats.

Could I also get your thoughts on how to prepare for the technical side of the interviews? Clause specific questions in particular as I’ve been struggling with them. For reference I’m looking to qualify into a transactional area.

Hi guys , Has anyone recently attended the infosys interview for Salesforce developer role with 3-5 years experience..can u share the interview experience and questions, it will be helpful !!!!!

I received interview invite for a role i applied 20 days back which is a PM I role. In email they mentioned they are combining 2 steps due to urgency of the hiring situation and there will be total 4 rounds in total (45 minutes each).

How does interview at google happen for PM roles? I have interviewed with top firms and confident but this is my first google interview, any tips will be appreciated.

I made it to the final interview for an Early Careers Program Management role at a large company.

My background is primarily in higher education, where I've led career readiness initiatives, coaching, workforce development, internship programs, employer partnerships, and large-scale programming.

I'm confident my experience is transferable, but I want to answer questions from a corporate/business perspective rather than a higher education one.

For those who work in Early Careers, Talent Development, or HR Program Management:

What strategic mindset or language should I use?

What kinds of high-level questions should I expect in a final-round panel interview with the executives?

How do you demonstrate business value and workforce strategy instead of just participant success?

I'd appreciate any advice or examples!

I can't seem to lock in on one complete resource for these. I would appreciate any platforms that helped y'all for these. Mainly targeted mocks, whether watching or solving. And where to practice aptitude also. Thanks.

They either tell their whole life story or freeze and reread their resume out loud.

Recruiters aren't asking for your biography. They're asking one thing: why are you the right person for THIS role, in 90 seconds?

Use present → past → future:

- Present: who you are and what you do now. "I'm a software engineer focused on backend systems."

- Past: 1–2 wins that got you here — pick the ones relevant to the job. "Over the last two years I rebuilt our payments service and cut latency by 40%."

- Future: why this role is the obvious next step. "Now I want to work on systems at a bigger scale, which is exactly why this role caught my eye."

Three parts. 60–90 seconds. End on why you're excited about THIS job : not a generic "I'm passionate."

Two rules that matter more than the script: cut anything not relevant to the role, and rehearse it out loud until it's boring. If you can't say it smoothly alone, you'll ramble under pressure.

I put together a one-pager with a fill-in-the-blank template and full examples for a few different roles : more than I can fit in a post.
PM and I can send you the PDF!

Hello seniors,
If any of you were selected for the Barclays internship, could you please share what topics are most important to prepare? It would be really helpful if you could also mention the interview rounds and the kind of DSA, CS fundamentals, or other concepts that were asked.
Thank you!

I recently advanced to a one-hour technical interview for an entry level L1 software engineering role at Twilio in the US. The recruiter said the interview will include a discussion of my technical background followed by live coding through HackerRank.

Has anyone completed this interview recently?

I’m particularly wondering:

• What was the general difficulty of the coding problem?
• Which data structures or topics appeared?
• Was it similar to the online assessment?
• Roughly how much time was spent discussing projects versus live coding?
• Did the interviewer expect fully working code, or was communication and problem-solving emphasized more?

I’m currently reviewing arrays, strings, hash maps, sliding window, linked lists, trees, graph basics, and time and space complexity.

The required me to take part in the Karat interview first, what kind of questions will they ask?

What's next If I move forward?

Has anyone here been into Revolut’s recruiting process for Strategy and Operations Manager? Would like to get advice on their case interviews in terms of difficulty, format, range of topics, etc.

I have an interview at Airtel.

I have about a week to prepare. What topics should I focus on? Does Airtel emphasise DSA, core CS (OOP, DBMS, OS, CN), or web development (React, Node.js, APIs)?

If you've interviewed at Airtel recently, I'd really appreciate your preparation tips and interview experience. Thanks!
