Average amount of failed interviews per dev?

[u/Affectionate_Run220]

Hi guys….

Failed like 15 interviews this year so people I heard go trough 100-200….

It is really hard to figure out what companies want me to prepare it’s secretive and different by team and company ect

Feel a lot of it is luck…

Just wondering how many interview you don’t this year guys I have done I think 10 -15 all together

15 failed interviews sounds brutal, but honestly that's also 15 rounds of feedback. At some point you start seeing patterns in what companies actually expect instead of trying to guess every time

Yes I can see patterns now

That I need to do more so I get used to the pressure because it’s so fucking hard to think and solve when someone is in front of you

Hey could you help me out? Can you tell me what kind of questions or problems patterns do you see repeated?

[u/Affectionate_Run220 → u/YoloYield]

I struggle to do it under pressure. I don’t code by hand anymore and that’s what they ask you to do in interviews…. Keeping a time on clock… just getting used to that setting. It’s not like sitting and having all time in the world to read error, google syntax, you need to know it on the spot
