Interview Resources

This repo was initially home to the just the "external resources" listed below, but has since grown a bit as I'm starting to include some opinionated advice for approaching software development interview prep as well. So far, I have written the following:

Leetcode-style interviews
Behavioral interviews
Other interview types coming soon!

Thanks for checking out the repository! If you'd like to support me or this work, (1) star this repo and/or (2) give me a follow on Github or Twitter.

Contributing to this list

I'm happy to discuss adding resources to this list, but one of my goals is to keep it lean. I find really large lists to be unapproachable. If you'd still like to recommend a resource, create an issue and I'll review it. Just a fair warning that I will be very discerning before adding things to the list!
