How to Prepare for Data Science Interview?

Appearing in data science interviews but struggling to crack the interview. Are you scaring to get into a data science interview? Or you don’t know what to expect in data science interview then don’t worry I have come up with the 6 steps that will definitely help you to crack data science interviews.

Cracking data science interviews need a massive amount of knowledge and research. So practicing only will help you to crack the interview on that big day.

Read on to understand a quick, step-by-step approach to specific areas of skills, technical know-how, and skills that are required not only to end the interview but also to excel in big data and machine learning provide.

The thing about data science is that its application, and therefore expectations vary widely across industries. The role is interpreted differently depending on the company, some could call a doctorate. Statistician as a data scientist, for others it means an excellent skill, while for some it can be a generalist for artificial intelligence and machine learning.

6 steps for Preparing a Data Science Interview

Here I am going to mention 6 steps that will help you to prepare and crack you data science interview. So brush up your skills and follow these steps.

Step 1:

Before appearing in data science interview first read the job roles or job profile especially for Skills, Techniques, and Tools. If the job description has not enough detail mentioned the research on the company website and check what type of data science position is available there and what kind of knowledge they are expecting from the candidate.

Mostly data science interview is a combination of the Aptitude, Technical Knowledge and Analytical Reasoning.

Step 2:

Don’t forget to brush up your knowledge of relevant skills before the interview. To test your technical skills, the interviewer will generally ask you about statistics, machine learning, and programming, etc. Ensure to brush up on languages like Python, R, and Tableau. The interviewer generally asks the programming question from these languages and will check your knowledge on these languages.

Step3:

Brush up your skills on some primary important topics like:

1. Probability

2. Statistical Models.

3. Machine Learning and Neural Networks etc.

So here, you will essentially have your exam through a case study or a discussion of your problem-solving skills. If you are able to define the problem for them on the scenario presented and will help add the suggested solution and its impact on the business. In doing so, cite examples of case studies or research papers to support the suggested solution.

Step4:

Although you can develop the necessary skills and qualities, make sure throughout the interview that you are willing to learn and that you can adapt flexibly to the current organization such as data science and its applications is unique.

Step5:

Having a tight resume and predicting how you will relate your experience to the position given during the interview.

Step6:

If you are doing data science projects specifically, when you are fresher, there are many public areas available. In addition, it is advisable to attend MOOC - Massive Open Online courses to be exposed to various and targeted applications.

Keep in mind that lately the role of a data scientist is seen as someone who can bridge the gap between the different functions of a company. It is not intended or required that you are a specialist in all aspects, but you should be able to link functions, ideas, and solutions across domains. In order to stand out in an interview, you not only need to demonstrate your individual strength and expertise in this area, but also act as a person with sufficient management skills and good communication and technical skills who can fit in and participate in the heart of a problem.

What is the difference between Software Teams vs Product Teams in 2020?

In April this year, I gave a talk on the journey of our team at Siemens from being completely new to being a full-fledged product team here. One of the topics that I delved in, and which I believe in, is the difference between Software Teams vs Product Teams. I’m going deeper into the differences in the following article of Software Teams Vs Product Teams.

India has excelled phenomenally in the field of Information Technology. But generally, our role has been limited to being a software team where we work on the given requirements and deliver the code. But we don’t get credit in the market for the product. We don’t own the success or failure of the product.

I feel that to move to the next level in ownership, we need to start working as Product teams. The below points can also act as a road map for the shift.

I’m presenting some caveats so that the context of the articles and the limitations are set.

Caveat #1: In the articles, I’m going to present the advantages of a Product team. But I do not want to disparage the Software teams. It has its own set of strengths and weaknesses.

Caveat #2: A lot of the points presented are contextual to what I’ve observed in my career in India and may not be relevant across the globe.

Caveat #3: When I say a software team, I don’t mean teams in software or services companies. The differences between these teams stems from what drives them, and their core principles. There can be a product team in a services company, and a software team in a product company.

1. “Why should this product exist?”

As developers, testers or project managers, we tend to focus on the final deliverable, which is usually the next release, or delivery, or milestone. The team has to deliver the code, binaries, documentation, and other artifacts needed as part of the release. The team works hard to ensure that all the metrics and KPIs are achieved. The developers receive the requirements and they ensure that all the requirements are met.

The testers also ensure that they have found as many bugs as possible and got them rectified before the final release. The project manager monitors and tracks the process and documents every step.

At the end, the team does an extraordinary job, sometimes under pressure of delivery or management. They work as a team and achieve a milestone that some thought impossible.

But … the product didn’t make it to the market!

How many times have we been in such situations? We ask ourselves (or at least should ask) what went wrong. Whose fault was it? Was it the project manager’s fault? Or developers’ fault? Or testers’ fault? Or was it the Product Manager who should’ve come up with better requirements or done a better research?

Instead of assigning blame, we need to ask, “How we could’ve prevented this?” I know that the team alone could not have prevented the failure. There are other factors at play here, but I’m going to focus on the role of the team.

As a software team, our job is to finish the deliveries. When a contract is signed between the company asking for the product and the company developing it, both parties agree upon a set of deliverables, quality and budget. (You could substitute ‘company’ with ‘divisions’, ‘business units’ and still have the same situation.) The development team focus remains the deliverables. The project manager, once having taken on the project, has to ensure that the costs remains within the budget, deliveries are on time and with the agreed-upon quality.

But the team doesn’t ask the rationale of the product. No one asks the questions: “Is this product needed?”. If yes, then are we even building for the right people?

These questions are critical for a product to be successful. The product manager, the higher management need to provide the raison d’être for the product. A product team asks these questions and ensures that they are answered to their satisfaction. Many times, they also provide the answers themselves. Once it has the answer, then it believes in the product and is driven by the passion for the product.

But if the team isn’t satisfied by what they hear from the management, then they must be empowered to call a stop to the product.

2. What is your Passion?

About 10 or 12 years ago, I wrote a function for my project, that contained nearly hundred string compares (and this was a C code), to determine the exact property of the input. The function behaved like switch-case for strings. I wanted to optimize it, so I came up with an algorithm that would, at least theoretically, do the same operation in much lesser time. I was very proud of the algorithm and its implementation. The function was efficient when executed.

But the overall impact was much less as it wasn’t executed that often. I was too focused on the code and missed the fact that it didn’t deliver much value.

I’ve seen the above scenario lot of times. The developers are proud of the code that they have written, the various optimizations and algorithms that they have used. Their code is beautiful and follows all the coding guidelines. The testers are proud of the automation tests, the complex scenarios they have tested, the reports showing how many bugs they discovered.

The project manager is proud that the project achieved the scope, was within budget and was able to deliver on time. He or she created complex Excel reports, beautiful Powerpoint presentations to showcase their achievements, and diligently documented every step of the project.

Members of software team are too focused on their area of expertise. Their pride stems from their brilliance on the code, testing, sometimes even just the beautiful drawings that they have created for the project. They look for brilliant solutions, not necessarily the simplest ones.

A product team, on the other hand, is not driven by code or test cases or algorithms. It is driven by the product – the problems it solves, the value that it provides to clients or end users. A complex code, if it doesn’t add any value, is not exciting enough. On the other hand, a simple function that solves a bigger problem generates more enthusiasm in the team.

Another passion of a software team is Design. I’ve heard many developers, architects, testers defend design and say that a feature cannot be implemented because it does not fit in the design. They are in love with the design, which was created after a significant effort in the early phases of the product.

However, for a product team, the feature takes precedence. There are some practical limitations for feature implementation, such as efforts needed and if they fit in the roadmap. But the feature trumps design considerations. Once the team agrees that the feature is needed for the customers and understands the rationale, they go ahead and develop it.

“I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend,�� said Captain Faramir!

The above quote is taken from the book ‘The Two Towers’, of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, by J.R.R. Tolkien. It can be modified for software context as “I do not love C for its effectiveness, nor Java for the object-oriented methodology, nor python for its ease of coding. I love only that which they deliver.”

Developers and testers are focused on the technology, or the language or the tools that we use. I understand that in the beginning of the career of any software engineer, she or he wants to work on languages or technology that has the highest salary potential. However, such people also want to move to the latest language because it is in vogue. I’ve heard many people in the Indian IT industry that they want to work on the latest technology.

Developers want to work on the latest version of Java, or take up languages or frameworks like Golang, Angular JS, Django, Flask, etc. or take up new technologies such as Machine Learning, Artificial intelligence. A few months back an engineer rejected our interview call because we aren’t working on the latest version of Java; he wasn’t even interested to know about the product or the domain. I heard of another interview, where the candidate actually tried to convince the interviewer to change the current bug tracking tool to one that the candidate is more comfortable with.

Our interview processes too are language or tech oriented. Interviewers ask about what she has worked on, or the intricacies of a chosen language. They judge the candidates on how much the person knows about the language. This is a legitimate method to determine if the candidate has good hands-on experience, but that is also a limited view of the candidate.

This process doesn’t tell us whether she can deliver in our projects or how she can handle unknown scenarios. We should, instead, look for people who can learn quickly and adapt, and are able to solve problems. We hardly ever try to judge people on such skills.

A Product team, on the other hand, learns and adapts to whatever tools/technology/language solves their problem. I’ll explain with an example. We have a spreadsheet/table implementation in my current product. However, it has its limitations, and we are trying to solve the issues that arise due to the limitations. My team quickly moved to SQLite as the backend for the table to try and solve the problem.

Instead of trying to solve the problem using the current language (C++/QT) only, they quickly moved to integrate SQLite. A Product team has high adaptability and learning skills. Their aim is to deliver the product using any tools available.

300+ TOP GOLANG Interview Questions and Answers

Golang Interview Questions for freshers experienced :-

1. What is Go? Go is a general-purpose language designed with systems programming in mind.It was initially developed at Google in year 2007 by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson. It is strongly and statically typed, provides inbuilt support for garbage collection and supports concurrent programming. Programs are constructed using packages, for efficient management of dependencies. Go programming implementations use a traditional compile and link model to generate executable binaries. 2. What are the benefits of using Go programming? Following are the benefits of using Go programming - Support for environment adopting patterns similar to dynamic languages. For example type inference (x := 0 is valid declaration of a variable x of type int). Compilation time is fast. InBuilt concurrency support: light-weight processes (via goroutines), channels, select statement. Conciseness, Simplicity, and Safety. Support for Interfaces and Type embdding. Production of statically linked native binaries without external dependencies. 3. Does Go support type inheritance? No support for type inheritance. 4. Does Go support operator overloading? No support for operator overloading. 5. Does Go support method overloading? No support for method overloading. 6. Does Go support pointer arithmetics? No support for pointer arithmetic. 7. Does Go support generic programming? No support for generic programming. 8. Is Go a case sensitive language? Yes! Go is a case sensitive programming language. 9. What is static type declaration of a variable in Go? Static type variable declaration provides assurance to the compiler that there is one variable existing with the given type and name so that compiler proceed for further compilation without needing complete detail about the variable. A variable declaration has its meaning at the time of compilation only, compiler needs actual variable declaration at the time of linking of the program. 10. What is dynamic type declaration of a variable in Go? A dynamic type variable declaration requires compiler to interpret the type of variable based on value passed to it. Compiler don't need a variable to have type statically as a necessary requirement. 11. Can you declared multiple types of variables in single declaration in Go? Yes Variables of different types can be declared in one go using type inference. var a, b, c = 3, 4, "foo" 12. How to print type of a variable in Go? Following code prints the type of a variable - var a, b, c = 3, 4, "foo" fmt.Printf("a is of type %T\n", a) 13. What is a pointer? It's a pointer variable which can hold the address of a variable. For example - var x = 5 var p *int p = &x fmt.Printf("x = %d", *p) Here x can be accessed by *p. 14. What is the purpose of break statement? break terminates the for loop or switch statement and transfers execution to the statement immediately following the for loop or switch. 15. What is the purpose of continue statement? continue causes the loop to skip the remainder of its body and immediately retest its condition prior to reiterating. 16. What is the purpose of goto statement? goto transfers control to the labeled statement. 17. Explain the syntax for 'for' loop. The syntax of a for loop in Go programming language is - for { statement(s); } Here is the flow of control in a for loop - if condition is available, then for loop executes as long as condition is true. if for clause that is ( init; condition; increment ) is present then The init step is executed first, and only once. This step allows you to declare and initialize any loop control variables. You are not required to put a statement here, as long as a semicolon appears. Next, the condition is evaluated. If it is true, the body of the loop is executed. If it is false, the body of the loop does not execute and flow of control jumps to the next statement just after the for loop. After the body of the for loop executes, the flow of control jumps back up to the increment statement. This statement allows you to update any loop control variables. This statement can be left blank, as long as a semicolon appears after the condition. The condition is now evaluated again. If it is true, the loop executes and the process repeats itself (body of loop, then increment step, and then again condition). After the condition becomes false, the for loop terminates. if range is available, then for loop executes for each item in the range. 18. Explain the syntax to create a function in Go. The general form of a function definition in Go programming language is as follows - func function_name( ) { body of the function } A function definition in Go programming language consists of a function header and a function body. Here are all the parts of a function - func func starts the declaration of a function. Function Name - This is the actual name of the function. The function name and the parameter list together constitute the function signature. Parameters - A parameter is like a placeholder. When a function is invoked, you pass a value to the parameter. This value is referred to as actual parameter or argument. The parameter list refers to the type, order, and number of the parameters of a function. Parameters are optional; that is, a function may contain no parameters. Return Type - A function may return a list of values. The return_types is the list of data types of the values the function returns. Some functions perform the desired operations without returning a value. In this case, the return_type is the not required. Function Body - The function body contains a collection of statements that define what the function does. 19. Can you return multiple values from a function? A Go function can return multiple values. For example - package main import "fmt" func swap(x, y string) (string, string) { return y, x } func main() { a, b := swap("Mahesh", "Kumar") fmt.Println(a, b) } 20. In how many ways you can pass parameters to a method? While calling a function, there are two ways that arguments can be passed to a function - Call by value - This method copies the actual value of an argument into the formal parameter of the function. In this case, changes made to the parameter inside the function have no effect on the argument. Call by reference - This method copies the address of an argument into the formal parameter. Inside the function, the address is used to access the actual argument used in the call. This means that changes made to the parameter affect the argument. 21. What is the default way of passing parameters to a function? By default, Go uses call by value to pass arguments. In general, this means that code within a function cannot alter the arguments used to call the function and above mentioned example while calling max() function used the same method. 22. What do you mean by function as value in Go? Go programming language provides flexibility to create functions on the fly and use them as values. We can set a variable with a function definition and use it as parameter to a function. 23. What are the function closures? Functions closure are anonymous functions and can be used in dynamic programming. 24. What are methods in Go? Go programming language supports special types of functions called methods. In method declaration syntax, a "receiver" is present to represent the container of the function. This receiver can be used to call function using "." operator. 25. What is default value of a local variable in Go? A local variable has default value as it corresponding 0 value. 26. What is default value of a global variable in Go? A global variable has default value as it corresponding 0 value. 27. What is default value of a pointer variable in Go? Pointer is initialized to nil. 28. Explain the purpose of the function Printf(). Prints the formatted output. 29. What is lvalue and rvalue? What is the difference between actual and formal parameters? The parameters sent to the function at calling end are called as actual parameters while at the receiving of the function definition called as formal parameters. 30. What is the difference between variable declaration and variable definition? Declaration associates type to the variable whereas definition gives the value to the variable. 31. Explain modular programming. Dividing the program in to sub programs (modules/function) to achieve the given task is modular approach. More generic functions definition gives the ability to re-use the functions, such as built-in library functions. 32. What is a token? A Go program consists of various tokens and a token is either a keyword, an identifier, a constant, a string literal, or a symbol. 33. Which key word is used to perform unconditional branching? goto 34. What is an array? Array is collection of similar data items under a common name. 35. What is a nil Pointers in Go? Go compiler assign a Nil value to a pointer variable in case you do not have exact address to be assigned. This is done at the time of variable declaration. A pointer that is assigned nil is called a nil pointer. The nil pointer is a constant with a value of zero defined in several standard libraries. 36. What is a pointer on pointer? It's a pointer variable which can hold the address of another pointer variable. It de-refers twice to point to the data held by the designated pointer variable. var a int var ptr *int var pptr **int a = 3000 ptr = &a pptr = &ptr fmt.Printf("Value available at **pptr = %d\n", **pptr) Therefore 'a' can be accessed by **pptr. 37. What is structure in Go? Structure is another user defined data type available in Go programming, which allows you to combine data items of different kinds. 38. How to define a structure in Go? To define a structure, you must use type and struct statements. The struct statement defines a new data type, with more than one member for your program. type statement binds a name with the type which is struct in our case. The format of the struct statement is this - type struct_variable_type struct { member definition; member definition; ... member definition; } 39. What is slice in Go? Go Slice is an abstraction over Go Array. As Go Array allows you to define type of variables that can hold several data items of the same kind but it do not provide any inbuilt method to increase size of it dynamically or get a sub-array of its own. Slices covers this limitation. It provides many utility functions required on Array and is widely used in Go programming. 40. How to define a slice in Go? To define a slice, you can declare it as an array without specifying size or use make function to create the one. var numbers int /* a slice of unspecified size */ /* numbers == int{0,0,0,0,0}*/ numbers = make(int,5,5) /* a slice of length 5 and capacity 5*/ 41. What is the difference between len() and cap() functions of slice in Go? len() function returns the elements presents in the slice where cap() function returns the capacity of slice as how many elements it can be accomodate. 42. How to get a sub-slice of a slice? Slice allows lower-bound and upper bound to be specified to get the subslice of it using. 43. What is range in Go? The range keyword is used in for loop to iterate over items of an array, slice, channel or map. With array and slices, it returns the index of the item as integer. With maps, it returns the key of the next key-value pair. 44. What are maps in Go? Go provides another important data type map which maps unique keys to values. A key is an object that you use to retrieve a value at a later date. Given a key and a value, you can strore the value in a Map object. After value is stored, you can retrieve it by using its key. 45. How to create a map in Go? You must use make function to create a map. /* declare a variable, by default map will be nil*/ var map_variable mapvalue_data_type /* define the map as nil map can not be assigned any value*/ map_variable = make(mapvalue_data_type) 46. How to delete an entry from a map in Go? delete() function is used to delete an entry from the map. It requires map and corresponding key which is to be deleted. 47. What is type casting in Go? Type casting is a way to convert a variable from one data type to another data type. For example, if you want to store a long value into a simple integer then you can type cast long to int. You can convert values from one type to another using the cast operator as following: type_name(expression) 48. What are interfaces in Go? Go programming provides another data type called interfaces which represents a set of method signatures. struct data type implements these interfaces to have method definitions for the method signature of the interfaces. 49. How to get the count of elements present in a slice? len() function returns the elements presents in the slice. Go Programming Language Questions and Answers pdf Download Read the full article

NEO Co-Founder Believes Ethereum Will Surpass Bitcoin

In terms of popularity, NEO seems to be losing out a bit. Known as the ‘Chinese Ethereum’ and once a top ten cryptocurrency during 2017’s glory days, the potential of NEO seemed to be endless. The cryptocurrency claimed that it was faster, better and more capable of handling way more transactions than other major networks.

12 months ago, NEO’s market cap was more than $10 billion but since then, the cryptocurrency has plummeted down to 18th place with a market cap around $482,632,482.

Even though there is a lot of people who are losing interest in the cryptocurrency, the co-founder of NEO doesn’t seem to affected by the tokens loss in value. In fact, Erik Zhang doesn’t even care about the price of NEO saying “I don’t care about NEO’s price and market capitalisation at all.”

In a recent interview by Christina Comben (CCN), Zhang was asked several questions on NEO, Ethereum, the markets and more.

First of all, Zhang was asked about the other co-founder of NEO, Da Hongfei who is somewhat the face of the company, and how that compares to his work behind the scenes.

“Da Hongfei has done a great job in promoting NEO and made great contributions to the development of blockchain industry. Da had more exposure to the public whereas my contributions were more focused on the GitHub.”

Even though Zhang doesn’t have as much time in the limelight, the co-founder is also a core developer at the project and seems to tear himself away from the price of the token and crypto market as a whole.

He questions Comben, saying “what’s the difference between the top 10 and the 18th? We are developing a blockchain project instead of playing a capital game. I just want to make this project even better.”

Next, Zhang was asked about the main differences between NEO and Ethereum on a technological level.

To this, the co-founder responded saying:

“NEO and Ethereum both have their own tokens. They can all run turing-complete smart contracts. But they also have a big difference. First, their consensus mechanisms are different. Ethereum uses a PoW algorithm, while NEO uses the dBFT algorithm. Second, their smart contract development languages are very different. Ethereum uses a domain-specific language called Solidity, while NEO uses general-purpose languages with a large number of developers, such as C#, Python, Java, Golang, JavaScript, etc.”

Later in the interview, Zhang was asked about what he thought about the Bitcoin Cash hard fork that happened late last year to which he responded:

“Personally, I didn’t pay much attention to the market fluctuations nor did I notice the BCH hard fork. So it is difficult for me to answer this question. From what I’ve observed, an industry has to weed out underperforming projects to achieve growth.”

Zhang then went onto to make a prediction on the future of Bitcoin and Ethereum saying, “in my opinion, Ethereum will sooner or later exceed Bitcoin and get the first position. But Ethereum will also face very fierce competition from other projects such as NEO.”

What are your thoughts? Do you think Ethereum will eventually surpass Bitcoin? Let us know what you think down below in the comments!

On Interviewing

Recently I made the decision to look at other opportunities and I completed a number of interview loops and many more phone screens and technical phone screens. I thought it might help others a bit to share some of the lessons I took away from what was more than 40 hours of technical interviewing. Due to NDAs there aren’t going to be any interview specifics here but some feedback and tips that I hope can be useful for both sides of the table.

As an interviewee-

Have questions ready. Write them down if it will help them stick in your head. Now come up with more. Seriously. Do even more. Now come up with some you can ask every interviewer you meet. During one of the longer loops I completed every single person on the loop did great at leaving Q&A time. This meant they quickly burned through my specific questions about the company. I adapted to this by coming up with more questions that the interviewer could answer on a more personal level. Here’s a few of my favorites:

What is your favorite part of the role/team (if applicable) or company?

What is your least favorite part?

What is the biggest challenge the organization is facing today?

What can I do on my first day or in my first week to have a major impact for you (as my peer, manager, customer)?

Tell me (as much as you can) about how your team or org manages it’s technical debt.

Bring copies of your resume. Even in this so-very-digital age of cloud-based HR and PDF resumes sometimes the person interviewing you hasn’t been given a copy or may not have looked at it yet. Your preparedness will pay off.

Be polite and professional, of course, but don’t hold back being you. I had a great time chatting with one of my interviewers about technology we both found exciting even though it was a little off topic. It’s OK to talk about cases where your hobbies drove you to learn about something and you may find your interviewer shares your passion for motorcycles or video games. You may find that you end up spending a few minutes on that side topic but you’ll both leave the room smiling because you got to chat about something you really care about.

Study. Do the tedious practice of refreshing yourself on algorithms you haven’t looked at in ages. Despite the fact that everyone in the room will know you’ll likely never need to worry about things like searching binary trees or sorting linked lists as a part of your work you will probably get asked anyway. Unfortunately that’s still common throughout the industry even though we all know it doesn’t really mean as much as we pretend it does. To that end:

As an interviewer-

When it comes to the coding questions; have them solve something you’ve actually had to solve at work that can be finished in a reasonable time period.

Absolutely one of the best experiences of the loops I completed was a company that sent me a coding challenge to start with. They sent me a library and asked me to add functionality to it. This lets them see how I work with existing code as well as demonstrates my ability to read what’s there, understand it, and build on it. During the loop we actually did a code review of my submission and talked through the design. This was great! We were able to discuss the merits and weaknesses in the design I chose in context of future feature growth and refactoring. No learned-this-in-school algorithms. As someone who has learned to write software by doing it and not via 4 years of computer science classes this was a great experience and allowed me to show my skills and knowledge in a very real-world way.

Consider using code reviews or a paired programming or debugging session rather than writing out a method from scratch. Doing code reviews for each other and doing them well is an important skill and one often skipped. You may find out that the candidate has never done and may not even believe in code reviews.

Have some code questions (and solutions) ready before things get started.

As the interviewer this isn’t your chance to show off to the candidate how clever you are or to push them until they’re lost. A well designed question should have a couple of workable solutions that you’ve already recorded in advance.

Adding arbitrary specifications as you go to make the question harder can make the experience more confusing and especially so if the specs end up describing something completely different by the time you’re done. One of my questions started as a simple counting exercise that quickly turned into a multi-parameter search instead. The last bit of added functionality was a pretty strong pivot from something similar to count the occurrence of a thing in a string.

While scheduling sometimes makes things hard and tech companies can be the worst about randomization; please read the resume before getting into the room.

We’ve only got a short amount of time to talk and having you spend 5 of those minutes reading me the resume I wrote and sent in isn’t the best use of that time.

If you really can’t squeeze it in just ask me to tell you what I did. You’ll get more out of it and it’s much less awkward for me as the candidate.

Try to be language agnostic even if your workplace isn’t.

Expecting a candidate to pick up Golang over the weekend before the interview is just unrealistic. Even if they mostly pull it off they won’t be comfortable or fluent.

If you know the candidate is strong in Java and Python but you happen to be a Go or Ruby shop try to find someone on the team that knows one of those languages to do the coding questions. This can help the candidate feel more comfortable and makes it easier for you to let them use their preferred language while still having someone that is familiar with it look it over.

Focus on solutions and structure rather than memorization.

The candidate is going to be nervous. They’re going to blank on the exact right method or library name that does the thing they did that time that makes the problem you’ve asked easier. If it doesn’t compile or it would stack trace due to a missed character somewhere that’s something they’d find through their own local testing anyway. Pay more attention to their ability to solve the problem reasonably even if they have to pseudocode some pieces they can’t recall at the moment.
