- if you get a job offer and feel pressured, take time to decide if you have the freedom to do so
- prep for interviews by practicing algorithms since many companies still expect live coding performance
- live coding interviews show debugging skills and real problem solving, not just memorized algorithms
- avoid filtering resumes by big name companies or schools since that bias can cause you to miss good candidates
- build side projects you are passionate about since that experience and initiative stands out to employers
