1 Review the basics

Before you dive into solving complex problems, make sure you have a solid grasp of the core concepts and tools of programming. Review the fundamentals of data structures, algorithms, complexity analysis, and common design patterns. Refresh your memory on the syntax and features of the language you'll be using, and familiarize yourself with the coding environment and tools you'll be working with. You can use online resources, books, or courses to help you revise the basics.

One very important part of coding skills is also the explanation. That includes theoretical and logical parts. For example what's an API, what's the token, the cookies, how DOM works, how a page gets rendered etc... Refreshing the basics and being updated with new changes and concepts are very important skills that show stability and adaptations to a changing environment.

2 Practice with problems

One of the best ways to prepare for a coding interview is to practice with problems that are similar to what you might encounter. You can find many online platforms and websites that offer coding challenges, questions, and solutions for various levels of difficulty and topics. Try to solve as many problems as you can, and pay attention to the time and space complexity, edge cases, and test cases. You can also use a whiteboard or a pen and paper to simulate the interview setting and practice your communication skills.

3 Learn from others

Another way to improve your coding skills and confidence is to learn from others who have gone through the coding interview process. You can watch videos, read blogs, or listen to podcasts that share tips, experiences, and insights from successful candidates and interviewers. You can also join online communities, forums, or groups that offer support, feedback, and advice for coding interview preparation. You can learn from their mistakes, questions, and solutions, and get inspired by their stories.

Despite how comfortable we are in a company it's good to give some time to ourselves everyday to take some tests, participate on extra tasks, contribute to open sources, talk with people from different sectors and companies so we get more information on how the technology gets expanded.

4 Do mock interviews

A mock interview is a simulated coding interview that mimics the real one as closely as possible. You can do mock interviews with a friend, a mentor, a coach, or an online platform that matches you with a professional interviewer. A mock interview can help you test your skills, knowledge, and performance under pressure, and identify your strengths and weaknesses. You can also get valuable feedback, suggestions, and tips on how to improve your coding interview skills.

5 Relax and be yourself

Finally, don't forget to relax and be yourself during the coding interview. You've done your best to prepare, and now it's time to show your skills, personality, and passion. Don't panic if you encounter a problem you don't know how to solve, or if you make a mistake. Instead, try to think out loud, ask questions, and explain your approach and reasoning. Be honest, humble, and respectful, and show your enthusiasm and curiosity for the role and the company.

Having an interview is very stressful especially on a junior or internship level. Or even when we really need a job. We try to imagine all the stuff that we don't know and all the hard scenarios that might happen without thinking that behind the scene are normal people, developers that by experience went to that level. A few times before I was about to reject a technical interview 10 min before it started, because I didn't feel comfortable with pure JS. Anyway I didn't cancel with the idea that if all goes wrong at least I will learn from that. In the end the interview went very well and I also got an offer. Let's be positive and even if it doesn't go as we want we will learn something. Important is to be true and honest on our skills.
