damned mine eyes, DAMNED mine eyes!!
No, my zoom always asks if I wanna join a meeting with video and audio. Besides, I have duct tape over my laptop camera at all times. I only turned on my video during the first month of my job and ever again.

Well, basically done I guess. Enjoyed making it. Really helped my understanding of certain things. Mostly likely wont be using materialize again. Apparently the makers of it abandoned it a couple years ago. EJS is cool, gonna look more into react since that seems to be the most popular. Used passport local strategy for user authentication.

Just got my first callback... 
They told me to schedule a screening with them, brehs.
Can yall tell me what to expect? This will be my first time.

Programming questions. Leet code. Talk out your solution. Be confident and don't let what they're saying accidentally throw you off track.Just got my first callback...

Bootcamp im in calls it Banki. Various questions to help prepare you for interviews
Interview Questions (Behavioral / Technical) - The Bank
Any questions on this list are fair game for technical interviews. Resources with most answers at the end. Behavioral Questions 1. Give me an example of the project or initiative that you started on your own. It can be a non-business one. What prompted you to get started? 2. Tell me about a t...

This repo has some of the answers to some of those Banki questions above

Leon(instructor) also said dont be scared to ask the ppl "what to expect" in interviews/screenings as well. It helps you better prepare for them.

No problem, good luck in the interview.
Yea, as they both mention, you can expect Leetcode quesitons.
Is this a first interview or second interview? Usually the first interview is a meeting with someone from HR and you'll be able to tell if they schedule the screening for 15-30 minutes:
If its with HR, they'll ask you to talk about yourself. Basically a rundown of your career. Then they'll probably have some questions the hiring manager will want them to ask you, but the HR person will write down your answers and send them to the hiring manager to review. So you can expect to have them check if you've either worked with tools that they work on, or in similar systems that the position is calling for. I'd say usually if they find your resume lines up with the job description, this HR screening won't be difficult
if its the second time your on the phone with them, or if the interview is 30 minutes to an hour, then its probably going to be a technical screening. Those are exactly as @EzekelRAGE and @Obreh Winfrey stated. When you're solving the problem, don't think in code first. First explain how you would solve it if you only had a whiteboard. This helps in case you can't write all the code in the timeslot, they at least know you know what your doing and aren't thinking your just hacking away into a solution.

my strategy, if i can't think of a cheap solution, is to quickly code the expensive solution, get that working and then rework that into the cheaper solution.
it aslo helps to practice a lot because that leetcode editor is terrible (it auto deletes brackets) and in the tests i have done there has been no debugger.
i'm sure they left that "delete bracket" bug in there just to f***k with people while they are under maximum interview pressure

Sometimes I think it pays to just code a solution. For me, talking it out and then coming it just plain doesn't work since I think of the solution in code. More often than not I get tripped up trying to talk towards an optimal solution instead of getting something workable down.

In the future I'm gonna be like I know you're supposed to talk this out, but let me write this code and then we can discuss

Good to know. In my experience. I've had more success talking through a solution and not finishing than I've had coding and getting the right answer and not giving a high level overview of the process. It took me some practice, though, to get to that point. I practiced the same leetcode questions, and once I was comfortable with the solution, I went over them again and practiced talking through the solutionSometimes I think it pays to just code a solution.

I think the important takeaway is knowing how you work best. We're supposed to fit in the same mould during an interview but it's not feasible in reality. If a person is able to do things how interviewers suggest, that's great, but there shouldn't be a problem with attacking something from a different approach (which is supposed to be a positive for teams
) shouldn't be counted against us. Like sometimes I just need to interviewer to shut up while I'm working an idea. Doesn't matter if it's wrong, jumping in too soon can completely ruin a thought process. So for me, a thing to practice might be ignoring their input in the moment so that I can fully consider what they're saying after the thoughts are complete on my end.

Well.... just finished the screening call. I'm going to the next phase.
Don't take your foot off the gas. It's not over until the offer is in hand.Well.... just finished the screening call. I'm going to the next phase.
