How much prep did you do for the technical interviews?

I get asked this a lot so I thought I'd write it up to share. For context, I was interviewing for staff+ individual contributor roles at tech companies.

Technical Interviews

I was preparing to do some amount of live coding interviews, and some amount of pairing interviews.

Tech setup check-in

My friend Tom offered to do a pairing interview with me, which I also used to check my Zoom / screenshare setup. I screen shared from my 2019 XPS 13 for the pairing, but also had Zoom on an ipad for video/audio. I used Airpods for audio. This setup actually worked great, but it was nice to dial in some of the specifics--mic feedback from dialing in from two places, and just practice my schpiel about explaining what I was doing to the other person. Probably not useful for you unless you too, have Linux problems.
