I did leetcode all summer and was expecting them to give those type of questions. They gave 4 unrelated questions and I didn’t even bother doing them. 1. Front end design with JavaScript (idk JavaScript) 2. Write an sql query (I forgot sql after i learned it in a class last fall) 3. Json and rest api question (never learned either) 4. Write an essay about what would you during a team conflict or something (too lazy to write) Am I going to be screwed when another company ask me actual swe questions instead of leetcode? I’m super nervous now and realized how I barely did any side projects to learn these things, compared to how much time I spend on data structures and algorithms. I’m also worried I’m going to be exposed as a fraud when do I get a job because actual job will need me to know these things about web dev, backend, etc.
