Yup. During one interview I had so much struggle trying to reverse an array and couldn't figure it out for 30 minutes. 5 minutes after the interview I managed to solve the task and 15 minutes later I managed to solve the other 2 🤦♂️. I think interviewers should stop trying to watch how their candidates solve tasks real time and instead do something different. Like assigning them a mini project that takes no more than a day and submitting that code to be reviewed. The review itself will often take no more than few minutes
@@angelg3642 "No more than a day" is too long. If someone is applying to dozens of jobs a day and they get a handful of these day-long projects, they would be putting in a lot of hours and not getting paid for it and there is no guarantee of getting hired. Job searching is such a pain in the ass.
Do not be surprised why candidates underperform by a big shot during the technical interview. Most of us get 1 interview per 10-20 applied positions, most of us can't prepare for everything since every company asks for different things. Its also very stressful and no candidate (unless if he/she has other secured option) will ever be 90-100% as efficient as he/she usually is. Also in such environment we are given a task that we are not familiar of in an environment we are not comfortable in. Having many eyes tracking our every move and those same eyes will dictate the course of our future. YES IT IS BRUTALLY STRESSFUL FOR US 💀💀💀
I think coders are not meant to be in a high pressure situation where it's like a last game of best of 7 NBA grand finals, we are meant to solve it like it's an adventure puzzle game
Over-thinking and clock watching are my biggest struggle. I just bombed a stupidly ease coding test I should have finished in ten minutes because I was so concerned about finishing it fast. Walked away to eat lunch and as I was making myself a sandwich the solution popped into my head. Oh well.
I guess we just grossly misunderstood modern gangster rap. "Code of the streets" is literally just C++, and "check yo self before you wreck yo-self" is just a wise warning about rusts borrow checker
@@davidshipman5964 No, but now I have started my internship in one of a startup, I actually apply for google summer internship and those types programs.
It isn't just the nerve. They are not typing on the computer in Google interviews. No muscle memory to rely on. They don't have their favourite IDE opened. No autocompletion. No syntax highlighting.
Of course lol, you just have to give people random coding problems and ask some technical questions. It's a easy job but he was giving out tricky easy problems.
@@sukapowI don’t think he’s giving out tricky easy questions. He’s giving out easy easy problems and people are just fumbling the bag because they weren’t practicing with the fundamentals well enough. Check the full video. They are starting at the wrong index and such.
Yeah, I remembered nerves definitely kicks in man. And then you make such a silly mistake that makes you feel like complete idiot. Yeah, I remember in one of my firs interview regarding the database . I couldn’t even write freakin one line SQL statement with select * of one table man
Their nerves got to them 100%, when you're nervous, the emotional side of you brain takes over

Imagine going in for a job interview and it's with Neetcode
"hey everyone welcome back and let's do an interview today"
I’d kill myself fangirling and completely throw the interview
True. Nerves hit hard. I almost vomited in an online interview for the nerves I felt.
The nervousness is just so brutal...
It clouds one's ability to think clearly.

True! I have applied 50 times till now. No luck 😢
So damn true. It's hard to even recall basic stuff and conditions during that time frame.
it's quite similar to dating, in that you need to care less
spot on.
@@NotGodellol true words, you got to not care too much in order to be relaxed sometimes
I had an interview the other day and found my question on leetcode after tho lol
For what company and do you have a degree?
@@paultvshow google. the video is about google interviews lol

I got my cs degree and was leetcoding for 8 months. My nerves would be so wound up i'd fail easy leetcode questions.
Over-thinking and clock watching are my biggest struggle. I just bombed a stupidly ease coding test I should have finished in ten minutes because I was so concerned about finishing it fast. Walked away to eat lunch and as I was making myself a sandwich the solution popped into my head. Oh well.
😭 I fumbled so hard on the balanced parenthesis question during my gang interview
Damn...didn't realize that even gang membership requires leetcode problem solving skills these days.

i love that problem
@@rlatkdfyd481 yeah ammo shortage issues. you need to be efficient
you can prepare as much as you want but nerves will sometimes make you forget how to breathe
imagine watching neetcode videos to prepare for an interview and u get interviewed by him😂
Lmao bro ngl if I walked into an interview and saw you were the interviewer I’d immediately know I’m cooked
my resume never gets select by google, I don't know why, i have projects, codeforces, codechef rating, hackathon winner then also i dont know why
Yes, but do you have industry work experience?
@@davidshipman5964 No, but now I have started my internship in one of a startup, I actually apply for google summer internship and those types programs.
Apply through referral buddy....then it'll get shortlisted i guess.....
@@davidshipman5964 I applied for Internship programs in google as I am still in college, I don't have any internship experience as of now.
@@chirpy7961 From where can I get the referral, as none of them replies the cold dms on linkedin
What’s in the background🤔
That’s actually a good point, I don’t really know how I should structure my for loops to handle edge conditions. Any tips?
How can we get the interview questions though?
It isn't just the nerve. They are not typing on the computer in Google interviews. No muscle memory to rely on. They don't have their favourite IDE opened. No autocompletion. No syntax highlighting.
Yeah this is why I need to do mocks
It’s very stressful in that process
Nervousness and Anxiety
That is why compillers and syntax checkers were invented in the 80s.😂
Perhaps they were just nervous?
Wait, everyone can be interviewer at Google?
Of course lol, you just have to give people random coding problems and ask some technical questions. It's a easy job but he was giving out tricky easy problems.
Some interviewers just do it to waste their time and the candidates time. They're not going to hire people but it's a way to waste time on the clock.
@sukapow that's really annoying and technically bullying if that's true.
@@sukapowwhen did he say he was giving out “tricky easy” problems?
@@sukapowI don’t think he’s giving out tricky easy questions. He’s giving out easy easy problems and people are just fumbling the bag because they weren’t practicing with the fundamentals well enough. Check the full video. They are starting at the wrong index and such.
any of the interviewees that had neetcode as the interviewer😂
Yeah, I remembered nerves definitely kicks in man. And then you make such a silly mistake that makes you feel like complete idiot. Yeah, I remember in one of my firs interview regarding the database . I couldn’t even write freakin one line SQL statement with select * of one table man
They put new hires as interviewers?
Uh it doesn’t help that Google makes you code on Google docs. Lmao.
