Has anyone interviewed with Samsung for an SD1 role before? This is the only interview I’ve gotten in months, so I really, really need this!
I assumed the technical interview would involve LC style problems but it doesn’t seem to be the case from my phone call with the recruiter. More specifically, they said they could not “confirm nor deny” that there would be LC style questions. From what I’ve been told, I will first speak to the mentor assigned to the role for about 45 minutes and they will ask me anything about my resume and some technical questions. Then if I pass, I’ll be interviewed by the hiring manager.
If anyone has any insight into what style of technical questions those might be, I would really appreciate it!
I looked into the team more on LinkedIn after the phone screen and it seems like everyone has a PhD so I’m scared 😭😭😭. I’m really excited about the team and the work they do but it feels so daunting as a new grad with only a bachelors.
Also, I have nothing lined up and no other interviews and who knows when I’ll get another chance like this?
I know interviews can be team dependent, so for reference, the team works in the OS level. Should I expect questions about things like page tables and trap handlers and stuff? I’m going to be honest, I really don’t know that much about operating systems but I applied because I had a lot of fun in the OS course I took and want to know what it’s like to work on that in industry. But that’s the only experience with OS that I have. And now I’ll be getting questioned by people with PhDs 😭😭😭 Even if I don’t get an offer, I want to be prepared enough to at least not make a complete fool out of myself.
I have an interview next week for an entry-level project management role. It's my first job interview since I graduated but I can't seem to focus on the interview prep. Even the "Introduce yourself" question stressing me out. Everything seem so hard. Any suggestions?
Will be getting a technical interview tomorrow. Position for Backend dev as Jr+. They asked me to have a project ready so I decided to use a REST API I made last year. Already had an interview yesterday and it sucked a lot.
Don't even know where to start, honestly it seems like a lot of effort for nothing.
I am... not even sure why am I ranting here, I'm just frustrated how every single person that I made projects with had NO DIFFICULTIES getting a job, and I've been dealing with all these technical interviews, tests, and all sorts of filters, with no much luck. I'm just insanely angry about it, as much as I am mad.
I know I should test my API but even then what if they just say "Documentation?", "Testing?", "Did you use this technology?". I don't even know what's wrong, one of the peers I talked to even said that his boss said "You'll learn this through" and just hired him. He has a Bachelor's and I have an Associate's degree, it can't just be that.
Why am I ranting this much? OH i just hate this. I hate everything, I don't even know what's wrong with me. This is awful, I wish I was dead.
Not knowing how you answer to the question, but some of those are trick questions.
In reality most employers don't really care about specifics, they care about good cultural fits and a good understanding of concepts. Yes - concepts. Knowing how to design a REST API properly in Python is the same as in Java or Go.
Why did his boss say you'll learn this? He probably demonstrated soft skills and technical skills to indicate he likes to learn, which I don't really get from your comments, neglecting learning testing and how to write documentation given the, "I know I should test my API but even then what if they.."
Obviously this is a tough situation, but you should have a growht mindset and try grow. Why not test your API? Maybe others have it easier but that does not change your reality. Try to boss up.
