INTERVIEW PREPARATION
The skills below will be tested on substance, not familiarity — prepare a concrete story for every one:
- On Java: “Walk me through object-oriented design choices and reasoning through a live coding exercise. Numbers help, if you have them.”
- On TypeScript: “Have an answer ready for how you use the type system to catch real bugs.”
- On Kotlin: “Come prepared to show how you'd use coroutines to handle a real async scenario in an Android app. Pick the example you know best.”
The listing sets the bar at 5+ years of relevant experience; the strongest answers name a project, a number and an outcome.
