> I have the feeling that all the bitterness towards this interview process comes from people who refuse to do the initial investment of time to learn the foundation for solving coding challenges. My bitterness comes from the fact that the interview process does not reflect what happens in day-to-day work. If I had to invert a n-ary tree, I would google how to do that, which I can't do during the interview. > Once you go through and understand a few hundred coding challenges, things start to repeat themselves and then it just takes practice and consistency. Assuming you spend about an hour to solve and understand a given coding challenge, that's a couple of hundred hours. Assuming an hour a day, that's about 3 months for 100 questions. That's not a trivial amount of prep. >Personally, I find coding challenges fun and even quite enjoyable at times, so I don’t see why it’s a waste of time to get good at them. Personally, I would prefer to spend that time enjoying my life. Whatever floats your boat. |
