Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview: Pass Tough Technical Interviews, Get Noticed, and Negotiate Successfully (Cracking the Interview & Career)

For over a decade, Cracking the Coding Interview has been hailed as the “”bible”” of interview prep. Now, Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview builds on that foundation to prepare you for today’s tougher technical interviews and hiring climate. This sequel introduces three new authors and thirteen new technical topics—including sliding windows, prefix arrays, and rolling hashes—and adds over 150 new problems ranging from popular current questions to fresh twists on the classics. Each problem includes step-by-step walkthroughs, with practice available through our online AI Interviewer companion. We’ll give you problem-specific triggers and five problem-solving boosters to help you get unstuck, plus an iterative study plan that will teach you to think—not memorize. We go beyond interview prep, too. Most job search advice is too generic and doesn’t come from engineers. We’ve drawn on a decade’s worth of hiring data from interviewing.io to show you exactly how to: land referrals when you don’t know anyone, get your offers to come in at the same time, negotiate the best possible offer, not screw up your behavioral interviews, and balance company outreach, practice, and interviewing. We also include a curated set of interview replays, from interviewing.io’s collection of FAANG mock interviews. Watch others interview and learn from their mistakes so you’re not doomed to repeat them. Is technical interviewing still flawed? Yep, absolutely. Beyond CtCI will help you navigate those flaws and come out ahead. WHAT’S INSIDE? Everyone who buys this book gets $50 off mock interviews on interviewing.io. See beyondctci.com for details.
