Tech Interview Handbook

Tech Interview Handbook goes straight to the point and tells you the minimum you need to know to excel in your technical interviews.

Having personally gone through the interviewing process, it was frustrating to have to find resources from everywhere to prepare for my technical interviews.

This handbook contains the essence of technical interviewing I gathered over my last job hunt, which allowed me to clinch 9 offers out of 11 top Bay Area companies - Google, Airbnb, Palantir, Dropbox, Lyft, and some startups!

A senior Netflix engineer used Tech Interview Handbook and got 7 offers from 7 companies with the top offer being $800k USD 🤯!

" Preparing for my first rounds of tech interviews was really daunting - I wasn't sure what to expect and where to start. This handbook together with the Front End Interview Handbook was a great starting point for me. It clearly describes each part of the process and has tons of awesome tips and resources. With this handbook and lots of practice, I managed to get offers from Facebook, Dropbox and Amazon! "

Front End Engineer, Facebook

" Tech Interview Handbook was the best resource I used during my coding interview prep. Its structure and hand-picked questions and detailed explanations really set it apart from other resources out there. I helped me go into my interviews with confidence. I ended up landing offers at Meta, Amazon, Twitch, Microsoft, Coinbase, Splunk, etc. I highly recommend Tech Interview Handbook to anyone looking to secure an offer from big tech companies.

I've learnt a few things and blogged about them on https://zhenghao.io, check them out if you're interested! "

Zhenghao He Senior Software Engineer, Instacart

" I started my interview preparation sometime during September of 2021. I was introduced to the famous Blind 75 list while browsing through LeetCode forums. The author of Blind 75, Yangshun Tay, had mentioned The Tech Interview Handbook in one of the comments. I immediately checked out the website and was extremely impressed.

The most use- section for me was the Coding and Algorithms along with Company interview formats where I learnt the process beforehand. The questions covered in the list along with the resources helped me get a broad understanding of concepts like BFS, DFS and array operations which I struggled with earlier. This helped me get into Mathworks, Microsoft and Meta for my internships.

Moving forward, I will continue to use this resource along with Grind 75 (A list of coding questions created by the same author) for my full time job hunt! I'm also excited to try out the System Design material as well! "

Rahul Senguttuvan Software Engineer Intern, Meta

" I remember not knowing what to expect when preparing for my first ever tech interview. Tech Interview Handbook was a lifesaver. It covers all the most important steps in applying for a tech role -- from resume preparation to offer negotiation.

My favourite part is the Grind 75 Tool, which provides customisable coding interview study plans. This not only helped to sharpen my problem-solving skills, but also assured me that I covered sufficient breadth and depth.

Even now, after interviewing for a couple of years, I still go back to the Tech Interview Handbook for a quick refresher before an interview, and it continues to help me land great offers. This is an incredible resource, created by someone who really wishes the best for you, and I highly recommend it! "

Jeanne Toh Software Engineer Intern, Meta, Google

" Most of us are familiar with having the prospect of having to grind tons of LeetCode problems before the interview, but I really wanted a sense of direction, an outline of sorts to prepare efficiently; I wanted to pick questions that covered all the important concepts one can be tested on. The Tech Interview Handbook provides just that; the Algorithms section was an absolutely invaluable resource and a great overall reference to brush up my fundamentals with the helpful hints and tips provided, and also solve some of the most popular questions categorized by type. I certainly have this handbook to thank for helping me land my dream job at Google! "

Siddhesh Karekar Software Engineer, Google

" The Tech Interview Handbook played a crucial role in the success of my previous job search. The contents are carefully curated and well organized. It served as an excellent roadmap for my interview prep.

In addition to the thorough Data Structures and Algorithms section, the handbook also provides a lot of resources on other aspects of the application process that helped me see the tech interviews in a more holistic way. My favorite non-technical part was "Questions To Ask"! I used quite a few insightful questions from there to challenge and impress my interviewers. The results were great!

With the help of Tech Interview Handbook, I was able to land offers from Google, Amazon, Uber and several other great companies. Really appreciate the contributors for putting out such quality content for the community. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this handbook to anyone! "

Kevin Huang Software Engineer, Uber

" I have not been preparing much for my interviews before my final year in university. As I set my sights on my full time job, I referred heavily to this handbook about things to prepare and look out for during my applicaion. It has helped me so much in many stages of my application. My personal favorite is the best algorithm practice questions, which is helpful in the future if I want to switch jobs.

With the help of this handbook, I successfully land offers from Facebook, Quora, Abnormal Security and a few more established companies. Highly recommend any tech job applicants to refer to this handbook. "
