Hey guys, I'm a CS student - Class of 2020 - preparing for software engineering + data science interviews.

What interview preparation resources should I use to prepare for software engineering & data science interviews?

Right now, I use the following:
1) https://exchangetheapp.com/ 
2) https://www.pramp.com
3) https://leetcode.com/

Exchange, I use to do one-on-ones with professional engineers. Pramp, I use to connect with other CS students to peer-to-peer mock interviews. Leetcode I use to solve a sh*t ton of problems.

These are the resources I use to prepare, but what other resources do you guys use?

What I have tried:

I've tried Exchange, Pramp, Leetcode

The only resources I ever used was to know the products that I was interviewing for. This meant that I passed some interviews and failed others (correctly as it turned out).

In all seriousness ... none.

You never know what you're going to walk into in an interview. Most of the time, the people who normally do interviews don't do it for a living, so they're just as clueless about what they're asking and why as you are about answering them.

About the only thing you can practice is "stand-up".

They may ask you to do "something" on a white board with a few people present.

So, you may have to give yourself time to think, and then come up with something and talk your way through it. (Or go to the board even if they don't ask.)

Before you go, just make sure you ate "properly" and bring a water bottle and a note pad (so you look keen). A shirt and tie helps ... even if everyone else is in a t-shirt.

And when they say "tell us about yourself", talk about anything except "programming".

And if they do more talking than you, that's a good sign (assuming you're responding accordingly).
