Surviving the Technical Stage
To pass technical rounds, communicate your thought process out loud rather than just solving the problem silently; interviewers evaluate your problem-solving approach, not just the final code.
I see a lot of self-taught developers who are brilliant but can’t pass a live coding test. Why? Because you are not communicating.
If I ask you to build a feature or solve an algorithm, I don’t just want the correct answer. I want to see how you think. Talk to me. “I am choosing this approach because…” If you get stuck, explain your logic. We want to know what it’s like to debug a problem with you on a Tuesday afternoon. Silence is your enemy here.
