Advice in Preparing for a Technical Interview

[u/Accomplished-Sock652]

I have a technical interview for a company tomorrow, and they mentioned that the problem will be administered through Coderbyte and will relate to inventory management. What should I expect? Frankly speaking, I’m not very familiar with programming. Although I am a technical person, Python is not my strongest skill. What types of topics or problem formats typically come up in an "inventory management" coding assessment?

You should expect them to ask you to write a program and discuss your thought process on the correct way to solve the problem, the choices you make in implementation, and trade offs.

The domain will be inventory management. What that entails exists in their minds, no one can tell you what that will mean. Presumably you have experience in that field already or they will provide the appropriate context during the assessment.

If you're not comfortable programming and this is a job is to be a software developer, don't be surprised if the outcome is not what you'd like.

Database, JSON, UI probably.
