    Cool to hear about the times your interviews didn't go as planned. Nice to see that even though these feel like failures in the moment, there's a lot you can learn from them!

    Hey Kevin!
    Thank you so much for making this video - it was INSANELY inspiring for me. As an upcoming new grad from UBC, it feels like I found this video at the perfect time. I can really tell how much effort you put into this one. It really feels like you spoke from your heart, and I strongly resonated with the analogies you made about getting into your dream university.
    Watching this gave me a sigh of relief. The three lessons you talked about at the end were exactly what I needed to hear, and now I feel motivated to keep grinding for a job as a new grad (even in these dark times :P). Definitely will be coming back to this one, thanks again! 😊

    I really like how you brought up the point that with more progressive interviews, things do end up working out and sometimes its also just iteration with intent. Good content!!

    On-site interviews are always a great insight to the company and what the culture is like. Is there anything specific at your current company that really caught your attention during interviewing?

    Hi kevin. What happened to your leetcode Easy and Leetcode Medium playlists? I used to love working through them in order. I don't see them anymore. Have you made it for pay only now? I'm willing to pay. I need to prep for interviews now. Please let me know how I can access them again? Thanks.

    Hello Kevin. Hello John,
    I am software engineer at software company.
    Sometimes I have to prepare to interview to get good salary (which include theory java language, how should I answer when interviewer asks question and some leetcode).
    On the other hand, I want to learn hardcore engineering and build good software. I wonder that which skills I should care about preparing interview or creating software.
    Should I do leetcode or software engineerinh

    • @KevinNaughtonJr
      @KevinNaughtonJr  ปีที่แล้ว

      i think you need to decide what your number one goal is and do the things that will help you prioritize that goal. i do think that learning things related to interviews are valuable for software engineering though
