You will get random questions about technologies you never worked with before. And you will have to code live in front of complete strangers. No matter how experienced you are, you're going to struggle. Here are three tips for you to survive the Tingle interview process with ease.
Number one, mental strength. Keep in mind that getting the kind of job you want with the kind of salary you want will take you longer than you expect. You can go weeks, even months doing technical interviews with no good offer in sight. That's why it's important that you don't attach yourself too much to the outcome and that you build mental fortitude. So stay focused, no matter how bad things seem to be.
Number two, it's a numbers game. Most of the interview processes you will go through will end up in a no or maybe or a no right now. You need to be doing lots of them if you want to get an offer fast. The more interviews you can do in the shortest amount of time, the faster you will get a job. And finally, focus. Don't do a front-end interview today, a back-end one tomorrow, and a data engineering the day after.
You will go nuts. You don't need 10 jobs, you need one. Stick to one domain and tingle interviews will get much, much easier.
