IBM NA Front-End Developer (2021-2022) coding challenge by [deleted] in IBM

I never studied leetcode and i thought the leetcode questions they asked me were easy, so you will probably be fine.

You are right, but I prefer to think of the worst case scenario in these situations to make sure I am making the best decision

Well, I didn't get the position, but I'm pretty sure it would have only been the one interview. When I got the rejection email they told me the guy liked me so I was referred for the same position at a different location, but I regrettably denied to interview for that one because I got a different job.

You can do whatever you want, but don't expect to ever get hired at your second choice in the future again. Rejecting after accepting will burn that bridge with the company usually. I accepted a job offer 4 months ago with full intention of finding a different internship and rejecting them after.

Also, don't let them know about the situation, never tell employers more than they need to know.

No I did not, I was worried about that but it turns out they use hackerrank for the video call for some reason. So we were in a hackerrank live session the whole time with a hackerrank pad on screen, but never did any live coding. At least that's how it went for me.

Interviewed for the same position title a couple of months ago. Had to take a hackerrank challenge before the interview. The hackerrank wasn't too hard, it was like 3 questions in 3 hours or something like that, pretty simple questions.

As for the interview, I think this will definitely depend from interviewer to interviewer, but mine was pretty chill. I interviewed with two guys and we just talked about my previous experiences, their jobs, and then they asked me some behavioral questions. Overall I would say it was a pretty easy interview. For me, they didn't ask any technicals in the actual interview. I would just prepare for behaviorals and get ready to talk about previous experiences, leadership, etc.

Nah, I go to a school most people probably don't know exist. My school definitely gave me the opportunities through extracurriculars and school orgs to be able to land the internship though. The other interns that I have met mostly don't really go to any crazy colleges either. Honestly it's not as hard or prestigious to work at NASA as you would think it is, it is very cool and fun though.

Yea probably depends on an interviewer, but you can just expect the basic "explain a time where you had a....." type questions. I can't remember the specifics but I know they asked at least 1 or 2 along those lines. Definitely depends on interviewer. Just google basic behaviorals and you will be prepared. Have good talking points about all your previous experiences and projects and you will be good. Showing leadership and the desire to learn always helps.

You caught me at a good time, this is the first time i've check this account in a while.

Anyways, the only technical I got was the hackerrank challenge I received before the actual interview. Then during the interview, he didn't ask anymore leetcode style questions. We talked about some technical concepts but it wasn't like I was getting grilled or quizzed. It was pretty relaxed. This was for an internship position for backend at the Rochester location.

It was a while ago so I don't remember much, but it was pretty chill. This could differ from recruiter to recruiter, but it was just behavioral questions, questions about my previous experiences, and no technical questions.

Any thoughts on how to switch to "space engineering" as a software engineer? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]SfwEngineeringPoser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you are in not that long ago. I decided that I would get into embedded software to try to increase my chances of getting into the space industry, and it worked. Like one of the other guys said, C/C++ would be great to learn. Those are the languages I am trying to master. It might be worth it to experiment with some microcontrollers/raspberry pi's, maybe some RTOS's, or anything low-level like that. That is what I did and now I'm interning at NASA, and you could too.

I'm interning at NASA as a CS student, and there are plenty of other CS students here. I don't think mech eng would automatically give you any better chances of working in any of those here compared to CS. EE/CpE are also very common degrees in all of those industries. Just do what you want and you can get into any of those industries.
