Ex-Microsoft Engineer Explains How To Prep For Coding Interviews
Skills:
Systems Design Basics70%
AlgoExpert is the interview preparation platform I personally used to pass interviews at Shopify and Microsoft and is what over 200,000 developers have used to ace technical interviews. For a limited time get 80% off their entire product stack: https://algoexpert.io
I’ve helped over 10,000 developers prepare for and pass technical interviews, and there’s one critical truth almost nobody talks about. It’s not about grinding more LeetCode, memorizing system design patterns, or endlessly “preparing” until you burn out. In this video, I break down what interviewers actually evaluate, why strong developers still fail, and the common mistakes I see over and over again from candidates who should be getting offers. If you’re tired of doing everything “right” and still not seeing results, this will change how you approach interviews.
DevLaunch is my mentorship program where I personally help developers go beyond tutorials, build real-world projects, and actually land jobs. No fluff. Just real accountability, proven strategies, and hands-on guidance. Learn more here - https://training.devlaunch.us/tim?video=1wK7Yvevfcs
