I’ve been studying for months and after a few interviews, I’m realizing my only actual obstacle is getting the interviews themselves.
These are rough times where most big tech companies have frozen their hiring. Be patient though, this situation won't last forever. Things in tech tend to change so quickly in either directions.
Loll same for me lol
Awesome video Kevin! This Channels Quality is just going to to moon!
Hey Kevin, how did you survive Google layoff?
By threatening to make a video about it

Oh maaan Kevin!! I clicked on this video with a huuuge smile on my face. First time i started watching you was 3 years ago and boyyyy I needed them videos
Thanks boi, you motivated me at right time.
Thank you, this was actually good advice
this mindset is actually good. i wish i started when i was at school. esp procrastination is really the bane of my success
Thank you for answering my every questions

I did the 8th step i hope I follow the first 7 & then thank you on all the social platforms present on this planet
thank you!!
Kevin with that FIRE video again!!!
thanks Melkey appreciate you dude :)
Thank you for this, Kevin! I have my first technical interview for a Junior Web Dev role next week and as excited as I am, I’ve been sort of panicking about it. This gives me a game plan and helps me know where to start preparing!
good luck Ethan you've got this! :)
🔥🔥🔥 loving your content
you're the goat Jason ♥️
Great video brother!
How much time do I need to be ready for Uber, Netflix, Google interviews?! If I can study like 4 hours daily?!
Hey Kevin, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts for you
Hey Kevin, hope you're doing great, i wanna know do you use any other platform other than leetcode ? Because I did check your leetcode profile and you've solved above 500, so where do you practice now? On which platform?
Judging by the brief screen grab, he uses/d Daily Byte at the time of the video
Great, what's your point of view about coding interviews in frontend?
Videos are really helpful and good
Packages are really life changing we saw in last few days.
tanx bro
Awesome and very helpful too! Ps 5 problems a day?! I am doing 2 leet mids a day and its a struggle
Hey Kevin, how did you get a referral ? I'm finding it hard to get one
Thanks for sharing! I'm a self taught with no degree background, does it apply for self taughts as well?
Where do you get the challenges to practice? Or do you just come up with 5 problems and solve them.
Kevin I think It would be better to share how to survive in the current situation. I believe hiring is very difficult now.
Just a heads up, you gotta disclose in your description when you are using affiliate links!
updated the description, thanks for letting me know :)
Is Hipyo a software engineer?
That pb&j joke at 3:41 had me crying laughing
pb&js are delicious
how did it come to these i wish they wouldnt miss
how to swap two variables using bit operation?
Very high quality video, thanks
were you asked any system design questions as a fresher, or for internships during uni?
some companies ask system design questions regardless of experience and others wait until you have a certain number of years of experience normally to ask them. I've interviewed at both types of companies
Kevin it would be great if you could point out some materials that will be helpful to us while practicing
always makes good videos
Knowing how a computer works at very low level for example at hardware level or assembly can help me write a good in cracking interview?
i think knowing how computers work at low levels can be important and helpful for optimizing things, but not necessarily for passing the majority of coding interviews (might need to know more low level stuff hft terms though)
How to learn in a way , even if new question is asked, I should be able to form a solution to it?
you did not mention what resources you used during your preparing for the interviews
Because he learned the topics, not interview preps
Tips on how to effectively communicate with a pair programming partner who is more senior than you?
don't be afraid to ask questions! especially if someone is more senior than you i'm sure they'll understand that you'll have questions and asking questions will help you learn!
clearing the interview or sustaining in the company which is hard ?
i think you're asking which is harder: getting into the company or staying in it? if this is the question i think getting in is mostly about practicing and staying in is just about learning and working hard. i guess if i had say it's probably harder to get in since once you have the job you just need to deliver the things you're responsible for
Can you make a video about where to apply for software jobs if you are a selftaught developer looking to get in the industry? Like which websites or how to msg recruiters etc...Also what exact job roles should u apply for?
Please make it beginner friendly for people applying for their very first software job.
I'll put it on my list and see what I can do thanks for the suggestion!
hi 👋 is it possible for a bootcamp grad /self-taught candidate without a computer science degree (or any degree for that matter) to get a developer title at Google? Say they have a really impressive portfolio perhaps? How often do non-degree candidates get hired, if at all? Please be honest 🙏
definitely! there are tons of people who work at google who are self taught or have gone to bootcamps. i think in general most companies today care less if you have a cs degree
@@KevinNaughtonJr Wow 🥲 you have no idea how reassuring and motivating it is to hear that. At least someday I can achieve my dream of working at Google even if I can't afford to go to a university. Thanks so much!
Is it important to learning in public? Being a person who thinks too much before having any conversation and don't post on social media, will this fear slow down progress?
i don't think learning in public is important personally. i think it might help you build relationships/a brand, but the most important thing is simply learning so don't worry :)
Does university grades matters
When applying for entry level software engineer job if I do not have any prior experience
i think some companies might care about this especially if you don't have prior experience because they don't have other things to judge you with, but it really depends on the company
@@KevinNaughtonJr Google and Microsoft?
Great
Can I get entry level software engineer job at google without prior experience
good hires new grads so yes!
during the interview did the interviewer look for the correctness of the systax of your language?
i think it always looks good to know the syntax of the language you choose to code in because that helps demonstrate your proficiency in it, but most interviewers are ok if you know that a certain method exists that you can use, but forget the name of it for example
Very cool
thanks!
Congrats
thanks!
one day this guy will be the CEO of Google, believe me
hahaha i don't wanna be the ceo of google but ty
I love you
What’s up Kevin? 👍
chilling Matt hope you're doing well buddy thanks for checking out the vid! :)
As a nigerian, you won't even get the interviews
We live in a different time period from your interviews. Now you get one interview with this big tech companies and get ghosted. This is coming from over 100 FAANG employees that just got laid off since november and have been actively seeking employment since with experience, certs, and extensive programming and technical skills
We have no data on FAANG employees trying to find new job. This sounds like cope. Regardless, whenever you do get an interview you’re either ready for it or not. Get good noob.
@@mr.mystiks9968 this is from a slack group that we have with over 1200 members that just got laid off
Loyal fan first one to watch ur video
ty for supporting me and my content!!
👍👍
:)
I am a big fan of your approach to Leetcode questions but I would say please stop glorifying the company.
As a ex-Google employee, one life lesson I learnt was please don’t get carried away by the FAANG name as they are the ones who throw people out without any intimation. I know companies goes through this cycle but the way company handled this is very bad and was super rude.
Hey i didn't expect this from you I won your give away of MacBook Pro with 0 likes but you didn't contacted me why.
7 8
Cheese (you said you'd reply to every comment)
is delicious (yes)
@@KevinNaughtonJr 😂😂😂 You've earned my respect
I understand what you say. But imagine for married folks and on top if you have kids. These interview process is telling them to GTFO from tech...
Nobody cares. Make a video on how to milk with google brand name
Silence for the moment you said write in binary.............
0110100111000010101001
Not the biggest fan of the 'MrBeast' style thumbnails
you tweeted that anyone who have 0 likes on a post you will give them MacBook I had my comment with 0 like
that tweet was a joke because i can like every comment and therefore it's impossible to get 0 likes and i'm surprised people didn't get that it was a joke
Why didn't you give a mac for the zero like comment on Twitter? xD
Really TopNotch 🫡
