Any suggestions for coding interview? I hear people fail even after providing solutions. š #Bloomberg TC 0ļøā£
Depends. Entry level = talk through code and not run. Senior / some teams = run code. Optimal nor perfect is expected, not per se but you better be able to talk through performance tradeoffs especially if senior. If you stumble a lot thats not good no matter what company youāre interviewing for
No running code just make sure you are good at asking questions and explaining your algorithm before codingā¦ prepare for follow ups and ask good questions to your interviewer at the end
Thank you. Do you know if the solution has to be optimal?
Yes, in most cases you get dinged if itās not optimal. But also depends on how easy was the suboptimal solution to think of and implement.
