Welcome to the podcast for techintervide.guide. I‘ve been in the tech industry for over 25 years and have spent more than a decade in management and leadership roles involved in the interview process at many organizations. I‘ve helped people get jobs at all kinds of companies, from small startups to FAANG organizations. I live stream career coaching and interview preparation advice for people in the tech industry who are looking for their first, or next, technical job . This podcast is made up of Q&A / AMA sessions that I host a few times each month. I talk about behavioral questions, technical concepts, industry trends in interviewing, and what kinds of things are important when answering questions. You can check out https://techinterview.guide/streaming for more information about live streaming events coming up. You‘re welcome to contact me through the web site or LinkedIn if you have a question you would like answered, or -- better yet -- drop by the live stream on Twitch to ask in real-time. I‘m always open to feedback, and look forward to helping you!

One of my Twitch followers didn't do well in a pair-programming exercise in a tech stack that they didn't know very well. The company reached out and asked them to redo that interview step in a tech stack that the candidate knew much better. This is a REALLY good signal from the company, and really fantastic that they extended this invitation!

One of my Twitch regulars got a job at a public company that does a "stock purchase program" and asked for information and my opinion. Are they beneficial? How do you know when, or whether, to invest your money in the company? DISCLAIMER: this answer is full of OPINION, I am not a tax accountant, tax professional, or tax advisor of any sort.

A question from the livestream chat was asked about how to delay an upcoming interview so that the candidate could have more time to practice and study data structures and algorithms.

A question from the livestream chat asked about a sensitive circumstance where they were unemployed and offered an entry-level role for barely enough money to pay for living expenses. They asked me whether they should take the job, or keep looking for something. Knowing your value in the industry is critical, no matter where you live, or what your circumstances are. You need to advocate for yourself, and to negotiate for fair market value.
