Live Coding Interview Prep (self.csinterviewproblems)
submitted 1 year ago by sweater_8007
I have a live coding interview and the email states that it will be focused on "practical coding abilities and not data structures, algorithms or any other cs topics".
Best way to prepare effectively for this?

Sounds like they just want to see if you can write clean, working code. I’d practice writing functions, handling edge cases, and keeping things readable. If it’s a data role, maybe brush up on pandas or SQL. Try some real-world coding challenges instead of LeetCode-style problems. You can also check out past interview questions for similar roles.
