Whiteboard
- How to whiteboard in virtual technical interviews? Whenever I am solving a problem, I like to first take it to the paper. I draw some pictures to help me visualize things and talk about it with myself to practice speaking my thoughts. Then I solve it manually using a small test-case. In a physical onsite interview, I could do all of this on a whit
- Why do we interview on whiteboards? Uber, Pinterest, Stripe, Airbnb, are moving away from whiteboards and asking candidates to bring a computer or provide one for coding. What's up with the big four still doing interviews on whiteboards?? Some misplaced sense of superior screening when coding on whiteboards??
- System design: online tool vs whiteboard I am still confused on whether to use a physical whiteboard I have (2x3 feet) or using an online tool like Miro board.

- Bombed google whiteboarding (ux/ui)? Had my google virtual onsite this week. Think I did pretty well in the interviews except for the whiteboarding challenge.

- Anyone else totally freeze during whiteboard coding? During interviews, I usually perform quite well, with whiteboard coding as one exception.

- Using physical whiteboard for remote interviews? When I am solving coding problems, I like to visualize by drawing and writing on a whiteboard. Unfortunately this is not possible now with most interviews being remote. Tools like drawio and awwapp are too slow to use for system design. I am thinking to buy a portable 48x36 whiteboard, and place it

- WhiteBoard --- what's wrong with this approach ? After 3-4 failed onsite the pattern of feedback is "candidate is good/experienced in his domain/tech but unable to whiteboard properly."

I know we can do pseudo code on a whiteboard but I’d love to be able to just open up a test and write the code with my IDE in a method so I have the autocomplete. Not that I need it but it just makes it faster and easier than trying to remember if I can concat a String with a char or not. (Java, you
- Why does the whiteboard challenge still exist? It does not guarantee that a candidate will be a great fit for the role. Real jobs rarely prep you for whiteboard challenge; your peers/coworkers don’t usually follow this ideal process in the workplace. #design #interviews
- Whiteboarding during interviews, has it changed? I once did a remote programming problem for Google where we shared a Google doc and i did some coding problem, then I came on-site and did a bunch of problems.

- What are companies that don’t have whiteboard or app critique in their on-site?

- Question about whiteboarding during Google RRK interviews I know that you are allowed to use a physical whiteboard, pen/paper and Google Docs.
