You also get $50 off mock interviews on interviewing.io. In-book solutions are in Python; online solutions are in Java, JavaScript, and C++; AI Interviewer is language-agnostic. This sequel introduces 13 new technical topics—including sliding windows, prefix arrays, and topological sort—and adds over 150 new problems, each with step-by-step walkthroughs. We also give you problem-specific triggers and five problem-solving boosters to help you get unstuck, plus an iterative study plan that will teach you to think—not memorize. We go beyond interview prep, too. Most job search advice is generic and doesn’t come from engineers. We show you how to land referrals when you don't know anyone, get your offers to come in at the same time, negotiate the best possible offer, not screw up your behavioral interviews, and balance company outreach, practice, and interviewing. We also include a curated set of interview replays, from interviewing.io’s collection of FAANG mock interviews. Watch others interview and learn from their mistakes so you’re not doomed to repeat them. Read more
