Mastering The Programming Interview With Uber Engineer Esco Obong
Today we're talking with Esco Obong who is an engineer at Uber and co-author of the our book JavaScript Algorithms In this episode we talk about how to get a coding job like a pro. This episode is chalk full of super practical advice on every step of the process. We talk through: - how to get your resume noticed by hiring managers, how to get referrals, and what to say when you reach out - we talk about the negotiating advantage you get when you run multiple interview processes in parallel - we talk about how to structure your learning for the algorithms and data structures portion of the interview. I think white boarding algorithms is something that a lot of developers struggle with - but it's a game you have to play if you want to work at the top companies, and Esco gives some practical advice on how to make sure you're ready before you get to the whiteboard. - and then once you pass the interview, we give some advice on how to negotiate. In this episode I'll even share a story from my own past when I lost $30k/year because I didn't negotiate properly. Listen to this episode and you won't make the same mistake.
