Data Structures Interview Preparation
1
When you’re in an interview, it’s super important to know how to talk about your projects in a way that impresses the interviewer. Here are some key points to help you do just that:

➤ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄:
- Start with a quick summary of the project you worked on. What was it all about? What were the main goals? Keep it short and sweet something you can explain in about 30 seconds.

➤ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁:
- What problem were you trying to solve with this project? Explain why this problem was important and needed addressing.

➤ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
- Describe the solution you came up with. How does it work, and why is it a good fix for the problem?

➤ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲:
- Talk about what you specifically did. What were your main tasks? Did you face any challenges, and how did you overcome them? Make sure it’s clear whether you were leading the project, a key player, or supporting the team.

➤ 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀:
- Mention the tech and tools you used. This shows your technical know-how and your ability to choose the right tools for the job.

➤ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:
- Share the results of your project. Did it make things better? How? Mention any improvements, efficiencies, or positive feedback you got.

➤ 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
- Talk about how you collaborated. What was your role in the team? How did you communicate and contribute to the team’s success?

➤ 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁:
- Reflect on what you learned from the project. What new skills did you gain, and what would you do differently next time?

➤ 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
- Be ready with a 30 second elevator pitch about your projects, and also have a five-minute detailed overview ready.
- If there’s a pause after you describe the project, don’t hesitate to ask if they’d like more details or if there’s a specific part they’re interested in.

By preparing your project details thoroughly and understanding what the interviewer is looking for, you can talk about your experience in a way that really showcases your skills and increases your chances of getting the job.

Here are some essential SQL tips for beginners 👇👇

◆ Primary Key = Unique Key + Not Null constraint
◆ To perform case insensitive search use UPPER() function ex. UPPER(customer_name) LIKE ‘A%A’
◆ LIKE operator is for string data type
◆ COUNT(*), COUNT(1), COUNT(0) all are same
◆ All aggregate functions ignore the NULL values
◆ Aggregate functions MIN, MAX, SUM, AVG, COUNT are for int data type whereas STRING_AGG is for string data type
◆ For row level filtration use WHERE and aggregate level filtration use HAVING
◆ UNION ALL will include duplicates where as UNION excludes duplicates 
◆ If the results will not have any duplicates, use UNION ALL instead of UNION
◆ We have to alias the subquery if we are using the columns in the outer select query
◆ Subqueries can be used as output with NOT IN condition.
◆ CTEs look better than subqueries. Performance wise both are same.
◆ When joining two tables , if one table has only one value then we can use 1=1 as a condition to join the tables. This will be considered as CROSS JOIN.
◆ Window functions work at ROW level.
◆ The difference between RANK() and DENSE_RANK() is that RANK() skips the rank if the values are the same.
◆ EXISTS works on true/false conditions. If the query returns at least one value, the condition is TRUE. All the records corresponding to the conditions are returned.

In 1994, people told me programming was for nerds and that I should become a doctor or a lawyer instead.

10 years later, they told me that someone from India would take my job for $5/hour.

Then, no code was going to doom my career.

In 2021, Codex, then Copilot, then ChatGPT, then Devin, then OpenAI o1...

People keep yelling that "Programming is Dead," and yet the demand for good Software Engineers has never been higher.

Stop listening to midwit people. Learn to build good software, and you'll be okay. (Credits: unknown)
