Word of advice: When they give you the option to use an IDE instead of a whiteboard or screenshare, do it.

When they say, oh you can write in psuedocode or you don't have to "really" create the hashmap or array, don't fall for it.

ALWAYS WRITE THE CODE FOR REAL.

That way, when you hit a roadblock, you can run the program and usually figure out exactly what is wrong very quickly.
