Coding Interviews 2.0

If you are a buyer from the EU, you may be charged VAT on top of the book price depending upon the current legislation.

Big tech (mainly FAAMG and its friends) already have a significant amount of their codebase written by GenAI.

What happens when big tech starts allowing the use of chatbots in their F2F / whiteboard interviews? How will be the bar raised?

Since the release of ChatGPT, every programmer knows that Coding interviews are due for a huge change*. The hiring teams know it too.

It pays to be ready for such a transformative shift:

A skyrocketing ROI (6-figure payscale) with marginal learning effort.

On the other hand, if you miss out and prepare the harder way, you will be caught off guard.

No one is doubting your ability: You may still attain your dream tech company job, but with a stiff competition from the less-prepared GenAI-newbies.

Coding Interviews 2.0 is to both empower you for and protect you from this shift.

Who this book is for?

This eBook is FOR YOU if:

• You are a developer aspiring big tech, but are scared of the stress-filled coding (F2F / whiteboard) interviews
• You are practising DSA using online platforms (LeetCode, HackerRank etc), but frequently lose motivation due to the demanding nature of the prep
• If and when GenAI assisted interviews happen, you want to differentiate yourself from newbies who copy-paste DSA problems into chatbots

This eBook is NOT FOR YOU if:

• You feel GenAI is nowhere near the interview corridors of big tech, and any attempt to use GenAI chatbots to solve DSA challenges is too lazy
• You are quite comfortable solving DSA challenges (including competitive programming) with your favorite tutorial/bootcamp/community, and wouldn't want to lower your motivation by simplifying the problem-solving using a chatbot
• You do not trust LLMs enough to explain DSA challenges and solutions
