Avoid suggesting weak or incomplete solutions (e.g., “run test cases within the service”). Instead, propose established best practices that are widely recognized as effective.
When evaluating alternatives for running test cases (VMs, Docker, Lambda), proactively recommend a preferred option (e.g., Docker) and support it with clear justification.
Maintain ongoing alignment with interviewers by asking clarifying questions, such as:
“Would you like me to go into more detail?”
“Is there any specific aspect you’d like me to expand on?”
“I’m planning to cover scalability next—does that sound good to you?”
Practice explaining key technical decisions concisely within 1–2 minutes. For example, when referencing a sorted set, provide a focused explanation that demonstrates both depth of knowledge and clarity of communication.
