Master the behavioral interview and get a job in Big Tech
When interviewing for your next software engineering role, being a good developer can only take you that far. You might think that during the interview process, the only thing that matters is how good your code is or how good your architecture answers are, but the truth is, most developers fail to get their next job because of the behavioural part of the software engineering interview. The good news is that you can prepare for the behavioral interview and ace it every single time. In this course, Nick Cosentino, a Principal Software Engineering Manager at Microsoft and Ryan Murphy, a Software Engineering Manager at Yelp, will use the knowledge that they gathered throughout the years during hundreds of interviews they conducted to make sure you are ready to pass your next interview.
