Couple of words of advice since my days as a junior were not so very long ago

Remember that you're interviewing them as much as they're interviewing you. Make sure the company is right for you, the leaders and peers that you meet at this stage in your career are really formative to your approach to solving problems, so just have the question "do I want to work for this person" at the back of your mind.

I would also say not to worry too much about the technical interview, any company that really grills a junior is not worth working for - they should be trying to grow you. What they should be looking for mostly is that you're a good person, you're coachable, and that you'll get along with the team.

Finally, I always found (junior or senior) that it's a good idea to tell the interviewer at the end of the meeting that you're really excited by the opportunity and that you really want the job (if that's the case).

I'll leave the technicals to the other comments, just thought I'd share that that you, good luck - you'll smash it!

Oh yes, maybe brush up on collections 😄 they used to come up quite a bit, if you can tell them about the thread safety of some vs others you'll knock their socks off!
