Coding Challenge: Prepare for Technical Interviews

Please RSVP ahead of time and bring a government-issued ID for check-in at the front desk.

Many companies use the “coding interview” as a gateway interview. To get in, you must do well on the challenge.

This is Boston Coffee and Code's optional Coding Challenge Workshop.

• Whether it's a live session in which you are handed a marker and pointed to the whiteboard or the remote link to a HackerRank shared coding environment, this is a tough challenge for everyone. Preparation will improve your performance and ability to demonstrate your skills.
• The Coding Challenge Workshop is a one-hour session. In the workshop, we will discuss the process of ramping up coding skills in a tech stack, doing well in the live coding challenge, and practicing solving challenges both in a group and on your own.
• Bring your laptop, and you can work on the problem on your own screen. This workshop will focus on stacks!
