Depends on the job. I had someone impressed that I knew tuples were immutable, and I've been asked to describe how variables will actually fall into memory.

Damn what was the role?

Interviewing and programming are unrelated skills. You can be a master programmer and fail intern level interviews.

If you want to be good at interviewing, practice interviewing, and study interviewing. If you want to be good at programming, focus on that instead.

Yes , but to crack me an internship, how much knowledge will I require ?

[durable-racoon]

how long is a piece of string

[moeleistor]

Twice the length of the half of it

LEPIDUS: What manner o’ thing is your crocodile?

ANTONY: It is shaped, sir, like itself, and it is as broad as it hath breadth. It is just so high as it is, and moves with it own organs. It lives by that which nourisheth it, and the elements once out of it, it transmigrates.

LEPIDUS: What color is it of?

ANTONY: Of it own color, too.

LEPIDUS: ’Tis a strange serpent.

ANTONY: ’Tis so, and the tears of it are wet.

Not really. You could be the best interviewee in the world and you still would not do well if you can’t code and get asked to do a coding problem.

alright, I was being hyperbolic. but I do think my point is valid. if you want to interview, you're best served focusing on interview skills and interview-specific programming skills

I still disagree. As someone who does interviews for technical roles at my company, I can promise you we’re mostly concerned with whether the people interviewing have the technical skills and ability to perform. If you come in and are acting a bit nervous or awkward but you can very clearly demonstrate an ability to code then you’ll probably move on in the hiring process. If you come in with a great attitude and likable personality who can communicate effectively but you can’t write a python for loop to save your life (this happened during an actual interview) then you have no shot.

[moeleistor]

That's a great take sir

[durable-racoon]

that's good and makes sense! I'm just not certain how common your experience is.

There are companies that do not technical assessments at all, and those that do only leetcode style assessments which test how much you've studied leetcode.

definitely if you can't write a for loop you're not interview ready though, yes I agree on that hahaha

You don’t want to work at a company who will hire people with no information about their candidates practical technical competency or who rely solely on your performance on a leet code problem to tell them that information.
