You must describe a specific event or situation, not a generalized description of what you have done in the past. Be sure to give enough detail for the interviewer to understand. This situation can be from a previous job, from a volunteer experience, or any relevant event. 11 | 12 | ### Task 13 | What goal were you working toward? 14 | 15 | ### Action 16 | Describe the actions you took to address the situation with an appropriate amount of detail and keep the focus on YOU. What specific steps did you take and what was your particular contribution? Be careful that you don’t describe what the team or group did when talking about a project, but what you actually did. Use the word “I,” not “we” when describing actions. 17 | 18 | ### Result 19 | Describe the outcome of your actions and don’t be shy about taking credit for your behavior. What happened? How did the event end? What did you accomplish? What did you learn? Make sure your answer contains multiple positive results. 20 | 21 | > Be as specific as possible at all times, without rambling or including too much information. 22 | 23 | ## Axes 24 | - **Motivation**, self-motivated, passionate about real problems and company values. 25 | - **Empathy**, sees other's perspectives and motivations, fosters consensus and a collaborative work environment. 26 | - **Starting**, shows initiative, balances analysis, breaks work into chunks. 27 | - **Finishing**, perseveres, maintains focus, balances stress, lands projects. 28 | - **Able to work in an unstructured environment**, deals with ambiguity, promotes global ownership. 29 | - **Conflict Resolution**, handles challenging relationships appropriately. 30 | - **Growth**, knows their own strengths, recognizes their growth areas, invests in self-improvement. 31 | - **Communication**, uses clear, concise, compelling language. 32 | 33 | ## How to prepare for a Behavioral interview? 34 | 35 | Recall recent situations that show favorable behaviors or actions, especially involving course work, work experience, leadership, teamwork, initiative, planning, and customer service. 36 | - Prepare short descriptions of each situation; be ready to give details if asked. 37 | - Be sure each story has a beginning, middle, and an end, i.e., be ready to describe the situation, including the task at hand, your action, and the outcome or result. 38 | - Be sure the outcome or result reflects positively on you (even if the result itself was not favorable). 39 | - Be honest. Don't embellish or omit any part of the story. The interviewer will find out if your story is built on a weak foundation. 40 | - Be specific. Don't generalize about several events; give a detailed accounting of one event. 41 | - Vary your examples; don’t take them all from just one area of your life. 42 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /DESIGN_EXERCISES.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Design Exercises 2 | 3 | - Define Actors/Stakeholders: 4 | - Customers: anyone interested in purchasing their products. 5 | - Merchants/Providers 6 | - Third party systems (sources of truth). 7 | - Define limitations and trade-offs: 8 | - Design decisions (weaknesses & strengths). 9 | - Number of write/read Transactions per day/month. 10 | - Create a high level system design: 11 | - Constraints and Assumptions. 12 | - Limitations & Unknowns. 13 | - Out of scope. 14 | - Define Non-functional and functional requirements. 15 | - Define Risks and Strategies (Bottlenecks, Restrictions, delimit edges, Troubleshooting scenarios) 16 | - Define Deployment Strategy: Treat configuration as code (Ansible, Terraform, Jenkins, Docker and Kubernetes) and Deploy services independently. 17 | - Scaling to enforce high cohesion and loose coupling (Redundancy / Consistency). 18 | - Availability patterns: **Fail-over** (load balancer, managing traffic and DNS using public IPs or CNAME records), **Database Replication** (Master-slave, master-master), Federation, Sharding, etc 19 | - Consider the **type of data**: Put transactional data into SQL, put JSON documents into a document database, put telemetry data into a time series data base, put application logs in Elasticsearch, and put blobs in Azure Blob Storage. 20 | - Performance: use asynchronous messaging with a pub/sub architecture (Kibana) and backend services using RPC-style messaging protocol. 21 | - Monitoring: use distributed tracing (NewRelic, Splunk) to identify the cause of the failure (Traces should include a correlation ID). 22 | 23 | ## Amazon Dashboard 24 | 25 | - Define Objective/Requeriments 26 | * Create a Search textbox for products 27 | - Define Limitations 28 | * Ranking system 29 | * Number of products (database) 30 | * Number of categories (database) 31 | * Number of write Transactions per month 32 | * Number or read Transactions per month 33 | - Out of Scope 34 | * Suggestions 35 | * Infinite scrolling 36 | - Actions/Actors 37 | * Users (JWT roles) 38 | 39 | ## Facebook Fake Accounts 40 | 41 | - Design a system that allow people to report fake accounts on Facebook 42 | 43 | ## Remember 44 | - Are there any details I need? 45 | - Are there any restrictions? 46 | - What are all the major parts? 47 | - Then, refine as much as possible. 48 | 49 | ## Credits: 50 | - [The System Design Primer](https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer) 51 | - [Ten design principles for Azure applications](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/guide/design-principles) 52 | - [Evaluating Software Architectures for Real-Time Systems](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220300661_Evaluating_Software_Architectures_for_Real-Time_Systems) 53 | - [Architect's Guide to Frontend Frameworks](https://youtu.be/HI2vFGxiwkM) 54 | - [BrowserDiet](https://browserdiet.com) - How to lose weight in the browser 55 | - [System design: Como empezar el diseño de un sistema](https://youtu.be/kZNr1RfHhow) 56 | - [AWS Whitepapers & Guides](https://aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/) - AWS technical content authored by AWS and the AWS community (technical guides and reference architecture diagrams). 57 | - [Browse Azure Architectures](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/browse/) - Architecture diagrams and technology descriptions for reference architectures, real world examples of cloud architectures. 58 | - [Azure Cloud Design Patterns](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/patterns/) - useful design patterns for building reliable, scalable, secure applications in the cloud. 59 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /COVER_LETTER.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | ## Cover Letter 2 | 3 | **[Date]** 4 | 5 | 6 | **[Contact/Team Name]**\ 7 | **[Contact Role]**\ 8 | **[Company Name]**\ 9 | **[Company Address]** 10 | 11 | To Whom It May Concern: 12 | 13 | I am an experienced Software Engineer with a background in web and mobile development, having 9+ years of practice and leadership building interactive experiences.

Ask the interviewer if it's ok or if you should think about something more optimized. Then figure out your data structure (Array, Stack, Queue, Hashset/Hashmap/Hashtable/Dictionary, Tree/Binary Tree, Heap, Graph, Bloom Filter, etc) and implement. 7 | - Importantly, after you have finished writing your code, run through it verbally with your interviewer. This is really important at this point. Does it really do what you think it does? Make sure to read what is there, not what you think is there. 8 | - Test your code, put in an input to see what happens. We’re looking for you to find the bugs yourself and fix anything that comes up 9 | - Restate the complexity. Is it the same, or different to your initial thinking based on what you have actually coded up? Make sure you’re thinking about both space and time 10 | - Optimize. Proactively suggest ways to optimize to the interviewer and get their feedback to ensure what you’re trying to do is not overly complex and is correct, then code it up. 11 | 12 | > Write a simple clean bug free and not over engineering/over complicated code – it's better a simple code that works that an overcomplicated code that doesn’t work – *the simple the better*. 13 | 14 | ## Key points 15 | Key points to be successful in the coding interview: 16 | * Drive the interview; communication is more important than anything so If you need to be quiet to think, that’s great – just let the interviewer know. 17 | * Explored the problem; Talk about what you are doing throughout the interview. 18 | * Reason about your decisions and share your reasoning. 19 | * Think about trade-offs; Find and fix the bugs by yourself. 20 | * Practice under time pressure; Put yourself under time constraints and If possible, have a mock interview with a friend to simulate the interview experience. 21 | * Manage Your Time Effectively; start writing a working solution, then iterate and improve it as you go. 22 | * Break down the problem into logical chunks and solved them 23 | 24 | ## Strings 25 | - What format is the word/values given to us? 26 | - How do we define a nearby word? 27 | - Do we need to remove duplicate words/values in the output? 28 | 29 | ## Arrays 30 | - Does the output need to be sorted? 31 | - Can I expect empty arrays? To avoid edge cases and errors at runtime 32 | - Are they all integers? 33 | - Can I destroy or modify the array? 34 | - Will the array ever be empty? 35 | 36 | ## Binary Trees 37 | - What is the expected type of input values? 38 | - Is it ok to return just integers? 39 | 40 | ## Remember 41 | - Are there any details I need? 42 | - Are there any restrictions? 43 | - Always discuss pitfalls and trade offs 44 | - Do I know everything I need to? 45 | - Can I identify a pattern by drawing it? 46 | - Iterative or recursive? 47 | - Can I try that approach? 48 | - Will I be able to code this approach? 49 | - How can I improve this approach? 50 | - Ask lots of questions, clarify the problem, make sure you know exactly what they are asking you to do and or solve. 51 | - Think out loud: explain your thought process, explain the different ways you are attempting to solve the problem, you need to verbally map out your solutions so the interviewer can understand your thought process. Also, the more the you talk and explain you approaches, the more the interviewer can provide subtle hints on what they are looking for. 52 | - Lastly, turn your verbal solution, into good, clean, concise, bug free code checking for edge cases and corner cases, and even putting together a manual use case if you have time. 53 | 54 | ## Credits: 55 | - [AlgosMed](https://discord.gg/ttMu5az6wM) - Mocking interviews, algorithms, etc 56 | - [Cracking the Coding Interview](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0984782850) 57 | 58 | ### Frontend 59 | - [Front End Interview Handbook](https://github.com/yangshun/front-end-interview-handbook) 60 | - [JavaScript Questions](https://github.com/lydiahallie/javascript-questions) 61 | - [JavaScript Interview Questions & Answers](https://github.com/sudheerj/javascript-interview-questions) 62 | - [70 JavaScript Interview Questions](https://dev.to/macmacky/70-javascript-interview-questions-5gfi) 63 | 64 | ### Backend 65 | - [Back-End Developer Interview Questions](https://github.com/arialdomartini/Back-End-Developer-Interview-Questions) 66 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /EXPRESSIONS.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Expressions 2 | 3 | ## Behavioral 4 | - As a developer, I look for the opportunity to face new challenges trying to figure out new and more efficient ways to solve problems with technology, to learn with others along the way. 5 | - I'm looking to find a better balanced life, where I have the opportunity to spend time with my family, studying and improving. 6 | - I'm looking to be part of a community where I can meet people, have the opportunity to share ideas, advice and be myself. 7 | - I'm looking for a culture where I can help making decisions, where my ideas are valuable and appreciated. 8 | - I'm looking for the opportunity to work in an open, inclusive team, and always ready to overcome any challenge, where everybody is very supportive to continue growing. 9 | - I'm looking for the opportunity to develop my skills and just grow as a person, where I can be who I really am. 10 | - I want to work with people who really appreciate everything you see around us, where I can take the good of each circumstance as an experience to continue learning. 11 | - I want to be in an environment where I can adapt to new situations as part of the change, where mistakes are seen as an opportunity for improvement. 12 | - I want to work in a place where I can develop self-confidence at my own pace, where I can give myself time to reflect on the past and focus on the future. 13 | - I want to work with people who have an excitement for adventure and the same passion to continue learning. 14 | - I hope to find myself in an environment where every day is different, where I can work with talented people who are equally motivated and curious, where I can live experiences that allow me to find a better version of myself. 15 | - I want to be where I can feel comfortable about not having have the perfect answer to questions and being able to have support from my team to keep improving, because nothing is really perfect. 16 | - I learned to be more careful and not rush my decisions and to speak with others on my team who have more experience if I'm unsure of something. 17 | - I also realized how important each decision is, which made me a better developer/manager in the last few years of my career. 18 | - It was a great lesson to learn early in my career. 19 | 20 | ## Daily Standup 21 | - Yesterday, I started to dig into the ticket ### 22 | - I made good progress on this task here.

It also breaks the problem into similar subproblems, but they are actually overlapping and codependent — they’re not solved independently. 3 | Each subproblem’s result can be used anytime later and it is built using memoization (precalculation). DP is mostly used for (time & space) optimization and it is based on finding a recurrence. 4 | 5 | ## Big O Notation 6 | A method which describes algorithm complexity, the execution time required or the space used in memory by an algorithm, where "n" represents size of the data structure. 7 | 8 | ### Time complexity 9 | Describe the rough estimate of the number of "steps" to complete the algorithm. 10 | 11 | - **Rules:** 12 | * O(1) * O(n) = O(n) ------------ do something n times => loop 13 | * O(n) * O(n) = O(n^2) ------------ outer loop runs n times * inner loop runs n times (nested loop) 14 | * O(1) + O(n) = O(n) ------------ constant time + loop 15 | * O(n) + O(n^2) = O(n^2) ---------- loop + loop with nested loop 16 | * O(1) + O(n) + O(n^2) = O(n^2) 17 | * O(1) + O(n/2) + O(100) = O(n) --- As n gets really big, any operation has a decreasingly significant effect 18 | * O(n^3 + 50n^2 + 10000) = O(n^3) 19 | * O((n+30) * (n+5)) = O(n^2) 20 | 21 | > Assuming "n" becomes very large, the notation with slower increase speed could be ignored 🐌 (as the nature of large scale data in computer engineering, everything else is quickly eclipsed as n gets very large) 22 | 23 | - **Speed:** `O(1) < O(log(n)) < O(n) < O(n log(n)) < O(n^2)` 24 | 25 | - **Sort Algorithms (Worst case):** 26 | * Mergesort, Timsort, Heapsort = `O(n log(n))` 27 | * Quicksort, Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, Selection Sort = `O(n^2)` 28 | 29 | ### Space complexity 30 | About memory cost, to optimize an algorithm for using less memory. 31 | When comparing different algorithms, we often compare how much "extra" space complexity is needed to solve the problem. 32 | In an algorithm, we need to create an array of size n to store the temporary results before getting the final result. If we assume that the size of a element in the array is a constant "C" which is independent to "n", the space complexity for using the array is Cn which is `O(n) * O(C) = O(n) * O(1) = O(n)` 33 | 34 | > O(1) space complexity if more efficient than O(n) 35 | 36 | - **Data Structures:** 37 | * Array, Stack, Queue, Hash Table, BST = `O(n)` 38 | * Skip list = `O(n log(n))` 39 | - **Sort Algorithms:** 40 | * Heapsort, Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, Selection Sort = `O(1)` 41 | * Quicksort = `O(log(n))` 42 | * Mergesort, Timsort = `O(n)` 43 | 44 | ## LIFO 45 | Last In, First Out, e.g: Stacks 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 |

61 | 62 | ## Call stack 63 | A stack data structure that stores information about the active subroutines of a computer program. (also known as an execution stack, program stack, control stack, run-time stack, or machine stack). It's used to keep track of the point to which each active subroutine should return control when it finishes executing. An active subroutine is one that has been called, but is yet to complete execution, after which control should be handed back to the point of call. 64 | ## Graphs 65 | Graphs are used to represent networks. It's a data structure that consists of the following two components: 66 | - A finite set of vertices also called as nodes. 67 | - A finite set of ordered pair of the form (u, v) called as edge. The pair of the form (u, v) indicates that there is an edge from vertex u to vertex v. The edges may contain weight/value/cost. 68 | Example: 69 | ```sh 70 | (u, v) 71 | [0] -- [1] 72 | | / \ 73 | | / [2] 74 | | / / 75 | [4] -- [3] 76 | ``` 77 | ### Adjacency Matrix 78 | A 2D array of size V x V where V is the number of vertices in a graph (used to represent weighted graphs). e.g: 79 | ```ts 80 | [[0, 1, 0, 0, 1], 81 | [1, 0, 1, 0, 1], 82 | [0, 1, 0, 1, 0], 83 | [0, 0, 1, 0, 1], 84 | [1, 1, 0, 1, 0]]; 85 | ``` 86 | * Consumes more space O(V^2). 87 | * Adding a new vertex the storage must be increases to (|V|+1)^2, complexity is O(V^2). 88 | * Adding an edge requires O(1) time. 89 | * Removing a vertex the storage must be decreased to V^2 from (|V|+1)^2, complexity is O(V^2). 90 | * Removing an edge takes O(1) time. 91 | * Finding for an existing edge, given two vertices, can be checked in O(1) time. 92 | ### Adjacency List 93 | A graph is represented as an array of linked list. The size of the array is equal to the number of vertices. 94 | ```ts 95 | [ 96 | [1, 4], 97 | [0, 2, 4], 98 | [1, 3], 99 | [2, 4], 100 | [0, 1, 3] 101 | ]; 102 | ``` 103 | * Saves space O(|V|+|E|). 104 | * Adding a vertex is easier O(1). 105 | * Adding an edge requires O(1) time. 106 | * Removing a vertex takes O(|V|+|E|) time (search for the vertex and traverse the edges). 107 | * Removing an edge takes O(|E|) time (traversing through the edges). 108 | * Queries like whether there is an edge from vertex u to vertex v are not efficient and can be done O(V). 109 | 110 | ## Tree traversal (walking the tree) 111 | Refers to the process of visiting (checking and/or updating) each node in a tree data structure, exactly once. As a tree is a self-referential (recursively defined) data structure, traversal can be defined by recursion or, more subtly, corecursion, in a very natural and clear fashion; in these cases the deferred nodes are stored implicitly in the call stack. 112 | ### Traversing a tree 113 | Involves iterating over all nodes in some manner: 114 | 115 | ![Traversing a tree](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kdn251/interviews/master/images/dfsbfs.gif) 116 | 117 | #### Depth-first search (DFS) 118 | Starts at the root node and explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking, with a DFS you push the children of the current node onto a stack, so they will be popped and processed before everything else. It's easily implemented via a stack, including recursively via the call stack: 119 | * Pre-order (NLR): It's a topologically sorted one, because a parent node is processed before any of its child nodes is done. 120 | * In-order (LNR): Retrieves the keys in ascending sorted order. 121 | * Reverse in-order (RNL): Retrieves the keys in descending sorted order. 122 | * Post-order (LRN): The trace of a traversal is called a sequentialisation of the tree. The traversal trace is a list of each visited root. 123 | #### Breadth-first search (BFS) 124 | Starts at the tree root and explores all of the neighbor nodes at the present depth prior to moving on to the nodes at the next depth level, with a BFS you push the children onto the end of a queue, so they will be popped and processed after everything else. It's easily implemented via a queue, including corecursively. 125 | 126 | ## Credits: 127 | - [Tech Interview Handbook](https://yangshun.github.io/tech-interview-handbook) 128 | - [Coding Interview University](https://github.com/jwasham/coding-interview-university) 129 | - [Complete Introduction to the 30 Most Essential Data Structures & Algorithms](https://dev.to/iuliagroza/complete-introduction-to-the-30-most-essential-data-structures-algorithms-43kd) 130 | - [Introduction to Big O Notation and Time Complexity](https://youtu.be/D6xkbGLQesk) 131 | - [To study runtime complexity: Big O Cheat Sheet](https://www.interviewcake.com/article/python/big-o-notation-time-and-space-complexity) 132 | - [The ultimate guide for data structures & algorithm interviews](https://dev.to/rahhularora/the-ultimate-guide-for-data-structures-algorithm-interviews-npo) 133 | - [OOP Principles For Dummies](https://dev.to/tamerlang/oop-principles-for-dummies-2mbd) 134 | - [Graph Algorithms](https://github.com/kdn251/interviews#graph-algorithms) 135 | - [Queues and Stacks](https://thagomizer.com/blog/2016/05/06/algorithms-queues-and-stacks.html) 136 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /1_1_QUESTIONS.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # 1:1 Questions 2 | 3 | - On a scale of 1-10, rate your overall satisfaction with your employment at this company. 4 | - What is the number one reason you get out of bed in the morning and come to work? 5 | - List three items you would like to have for your desk if budget was not a concern. 6 | - Is there any topic that comes up during the day that you feel confused or unclear about? 7 | - Is there anyone specifically that you have a hard time working with for any reason? 8 | - Do you feel challenged on a daily basis? 9 | - Do you feel competitive with your coworkers, or is it more of a teamwork environment? 10 | - Is there anyone within the company that you look up to, and why? 11 | - Is this job providing you with a good overall work/life balance? 12 | - Tell me your thoughts on my management style. 13 | - Do you feel like your education is being put to its maximum use in your position? 14 | - Are you proud of your work?

I don't have a number in mind right now. I'd like to think about the value that I can add to this firm and this team. I'm excited for this opportunity based on what I know about it. And I can't wait to learn more about it and continue talking to people in the interview process. 7 | 8 | > You know I'm really not comfortable sharing my current salary and what my employer pays people that do the kind of work that I do, and I'd rather focus on the value that I can add in this position. And I'm really looking forward to this move being a big step forward for me in terms of both responsibility and compensation and I can't wait to talk about the position and the opportunity that's ahead of me. 9 | 10 | > I don’t have a specific number in mind for a desired salary, and you know better than I do what value my skillset and experience could bring to your company. I want this move to be a big step forward for me in terms of both responsibility and compensation. 11 | 12 | > Before I give you a number, I'd like to understand how you compensate employees and how this job fits into your compensation structure. I'm curious to know the salary grade for this position, the salary range and midpoint for that grade, and where that grade fits into your compensation system? That will give me a better idea of how this position fits into your structure and my career plans. 13 | 14 | > Before I give you a number, I'd like to understand more about company, the work environment, the requirements of the job, and other important considerations like the opportunity for growth. Then, I'll have a better idea what an appropriate salary would be. 15 | 16 | > I need to understand and evaluate the total compensation package before I give you a salary number. Could you share the standard benefits you provide? 17 | 18 | > Thank you for that question. On this stage let us check first that we are a great fit for each other and we could circle back to that questions later. 19 | 20 | > Thank you for that question. Hey, I'm just an engineer, I'm sure you know the market better than me so I trust you to evaluate my skill set first and if we are a great fit to circle back to that topic. 21 | 22 | > Listen, you need somebody to do this job. I'm somebody who can do that job. Let me describe to you how well I can do that job and how well I understand what your needs are. And then we can talk about what's the appropriate price for you to pay me to do that job. And we can collaborate to find something that we both feel is good. 23 | 24 | > I don't have one. Look, I know you want to be fair. You have salary ranges for employees with a given skillset and responsibility, right? I don't want to be paid less than everybody else. I don't want to be paid more than everybody else. Just give me something in the middle. 25 | 26 | ## They offer a lower salary 27 | 28 | > Thank you, my current salary rate is higher, but you could always call me back at any time if you still think we are a great fit for each other. 29 | 30 | > Hello, thanks for reaching me out! 31 | The offer you're sharing with me sounds very interesting, but my salary expectations are higher. 32 | Thanks for sharing and let's keep in touch for a next opportunity! 33 | Have a great day 34 | 35 | > 🇪🇸 🇨🇴 Hola, gracias por compartir! 36 | Realmente el rango salarial está por debajo de mis expectativas, de todas formas gracias por contactarme y espero que podamos seguir en contacto para una próxima oportunidad! 37 | Feliz día 🙂 38 | 39 | ## They offer an equal salary 40 | 41 | > Thank you, I think we are on the same page in terms of salary ranges but let us circle back to that conversation later after we will check how good is our mutual fit. 42 | 43 | ## They ask for a call first 44 | 45 | > Thanks so much for reaching out.

A lot of the time, incoming messages represent a very poor fit indeed. 47 | I would love to continue the conversation, but before I do, I'd like to level set around the level of seniority that you're looking for. 48 | Can you send along the company name, a job description and, total compensation details for the role you're reaching out in reference to? 49 | While I very much appreciate the fact that exceptionally talented and engaged recruiters reach out consistently, sorting serious and high quality opportunities from spam would be a full time job without an autoresponder. 50 | In the absence of detailed information regarding the nature of the opportunity in question, I will be unavailable for further discussion. 51 | Thanks again for reaching out! 52 | I look forward to hearing from you. 53 | 54 | > Thank you for contacting me. 55 | It sounds very interesting. 56 | 57 | > Hello, hope you're doing well. 58 | Sounds interesting, can you share the description of this job opportunity please? And can you tell me about the salary range you have budgeted for this role? 59 | Thanks for sharing! 60 | 61 | > 🇪🇸 🇨🇴 En el momento me están contactando de varias partes, por lo tanto quisiera saber de inicio cuál es el rango salarial presupuestado para este rol, como sería el tipo de contrato y que beneficios/perks ofrecen ustedes? 62 | Gracias por compartir! 63 | 64 | ## They don't offer a salary range 65 | 66 | > **I need a number to fill a form:** Just put a dollar so we could circle back to that later. 67 | 68 | > Thanks for letting me know, I am seeking a base pay of $XX,XXX **(HIGHER END OF YOUR RANGE)**, but I can be flexible depending on the benefits and any incentives you may offer, please let me know if that salary range works for you 🙂 69 | 70 | > Based on my research and the information you have provided, I believe that a salary in the range of $XX,XXX to $XX,XXX with [# of weeks of] paid vacation, [other benefits important to you which have been stated as included], and your other benefits would be appropriate. 71 | 72 | > 🇪🇸 🇨🇴 Hola! entiendo completamente, actualmente mi aspiración salarial es de $XXXXXX USD en adelante **(El valor más alto de tu rango)**, pero soy flexible dependiendo de los beneficios que ustedes ofrezcan, déjame saber si este rango salarial está bien para ustedes. 73 | 74 | 75 | ## “What is your current salary?” 76 | - [It's a red flag](https://dev.to/jmfayard/what-is-your-current-salary-is-a-red-flag-that-you-don-t-want-to-work-here-3aji) 77 | 78 | ### Examples 79 | > Oh, yeah, I was going to ask you, do you know the budget for the role? 80 | 81 | > What other things might be open to negotiation besides the base salary? For example, would you be amenable to offer a sign-on bonus? 82 | 83 | > You guys know the market and are good at what you do, I trust you to make a great offer if you're interested. 84 | 85 | > I'm not prepared to discuss numbers yet, but if we each decide that we're a good fit, I'm sure we'll find something we are happy with. 86 | 87 | > Hello, XYZ. Thanks for reaching out. This sounds like an interesting opportunity, but I'd like to be respectful of your time. May I ask about the salary (range is fine) and benefits plan beforehand? 88 | 89 | > Why is it relevant? ... Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. Look, I want to be transparent: If you were to make me an offer, it's unlikely I would accept it. Your company isn’t a great fit for me at this time. So I don't want to waste more of your time. But if you wind up brushing up on your interviewing process and making improvements, feel free to reach out to me again for consideration **(10x DEVELOPER)** 90 | 91 | > **I am unable to provide my current salary**: As I am sure you understand, my employer considers employee salaries to be confidential, and access to this information is limited to management inside our organization. So, I am unable to share it with you. However, if you share the salary level and range for this position, I can confirm that my salary is within that range or not. I'm sure you'll understand me cause if we would work together and will have any private conversations with you the company could be sure 'll never disclose it as well. 92 | 93 | > I don't think that my current salary is relevant, but if you must have that information, I will provide it after you share the salary level and range for this job. 94 | 95 | > I **will** share my salary expectations with you, and we can see if it fits into your salary range for this position. 96 | 97 | > I have done my initial homework, and salary information on the Internet indicates I’m in the range. For now we should assume that salary won’t be an issue. Plus, I need to understand the full extent of the opportunity and the benefits you provide to employees plus what the salary range is for this role. 98 | 99 | > Sharing my current salary is inappropriate for me. I'm expecting to be compensated conmesurately with my experience and the role that I’ll have at this company. 100 | 101 | Understand that "your mileage may vary." If the employer isn’t very interested (or has many other people they could hire), they probably won’t do much negotiation. If they are very interested in you, they will negotiate. Many employers expect to negotiate starting salaries. However, some do not want to negotiate and may even withdraw a job offer if pressed for a higher starting salary. 102 | 103 | ## They can't move forward 104 | 105 | > Thanks for letting me know, I understand! Thanks for sharing and let's keep in touch! 106 | 107 | ## Benefits/Perks 108 | - Signing bonus (only increasing the first year income) 109 | - Monthly bonuses (Sodexo Pass) 110 | - Annual, quarterly, or other bonuses 111 | - Commissions (usually for sales jobs) 112 | - Stock, a stock purchase plan, and/or stock options 113 | - Annual (or more frequent) salary increases 114 | - Vacation days 115 | - Personal days 116 | - Sick days 117 | - 401K and/or pension 118 | - Medical insurance 119 | - Life insurance 120 | - Dental insurance 121 | - Vision insurance 122 | - Working from home 123 | - Flexible hours (Schedule flexibility) 124 | - Training 125 | - Tuition reimbursement 126 | - English coaching 127 | - Parking or public transportation reimbursement 128 | - Career Path and Career Growth (Udemy account, etc) 129 | - Competitive compensation 130 | - Company car, culture, etc 131 | 132 | ### Remember 133 | - Be assertive 134 | - Take the lead 135 | - Remember they need you 136 | - Be confident 137 | - Come prepared 138 | - Talk, but also listen 139 | - Be professional, but losen up a bit 140 | - Be amicable 141 | - Keep eye contact 142 | - Remind then why you are there 143 | - Make them talk about why they need you 144 | 145 | ## What are your hourly rate expectations? 146 | I'm absolutely comfortable somewhere in the top quartile of my market value.

32 | Describe a time when you were faced with a stressful situation that demonstrated your coping skills. 33 | 34 | - Working until the next day for a release to production (BevyUp) 35 | - My cat walking on the balcony (During a demo with the client) 36 | - Situation: I was in a meeting with a client, presenting a demo, when suddenly my wife appeared very scared and asked me for help because something was happening, then I realized that my little cat was walking on the edge of the balcony, I had to pause my presentation because I was so worried. 37 | - Task: Ask for a break and rescue my cat. 38 | - Action: I had to be brave and rescue the cat, then I was able to finish the presentation. 39 | - Result: I was able to face that so stressful situation because I was thinking in the solution instead of the problem, and then I was calm because I had been able to finish the presentation with the help of my team. 40 | - A PoC with a new technology in a short period of time (StartUp Acquisition) 41 | - Working in a project with 1 week sprints (working weekends) 42 | - Excel generation tool migration with a class having more than 30k lines of code and without business formulas. 43 | - Situation: Code refactor of a software with more than 10 years in the market, and having classes of more than 30k lines of code, where the client did not know the formulas of the business with which more than 30 different critical excel files were exported. 44 | - Task: Looking to improve the UX (performance) for generating these files. 45 | - Action: I had to contribute to Open Source and created interfaces to simulate functionalities of a deprecated library. I spent some months working on this migration. 46 | - Result: Using benchmarks I was able to compare these tools, and I found some issues during this migration but with the help of these Open Source contributions (reporting issues, discussing and reviewing the code of the external lib) I was able to solve unforeseen problems. 47 |
48 | 49 |
50 | Give me a specific example of a time when you used good judgment and logic in solving a problem. 51 | 52 | - Creating a new Open Source project to improve UX with a native look & feel (React Native InAppBrowser). 53 | - Use memoization and Big O notation to reduce complexity with RxJS subscriptions. 54 | - Found SQL Injection issues concatenating Database queries from a third party system. 55 | - Using hooks to reduce code complexity and increase test coverage. 56 | - Using macros from Assembly lenguage to reduce complexity. 57 |
58 | 59 |
60 | Give me an example of a time when you set a goal and were able to meet or achieve it. 61 | 62 | - Using a new strategy to implement a real-time connection. 63 | - Database migration from NoSQL (MongoDB) to SQL & Multi-tenant (PostgreSQL) takes less than 3 months. 64 |
65 | 66 |
67 | Tell me about a time when you had to use your presentation skills to influence someone's opinion. 68 | 69 | - Comparison between React Native and NativeScript for cross-platform native UI apps. 70 | - Web Components and compilers instead of a Framework (Be agnostic, it Depends... maybe You don't need it). 71 | - Using promises for HTTP requests from Unity. 72 | - Divide and conquer (Avoid blocking tasks) 73 | - Situation: Implementing new features from a React Native app was giving us some problems, specially because we're using React class components with nested code, having complex local states with large components and repeated code, so it was difficult to maintain unit tests and increase test coverage. 74 | - Task: My goal was to help another Senior developer with a new feature adding a real-time connection from some screens of a chat module and increasing the test coverage of a complex component. 75 | - Action: We had some sessions of pair programming but I was stuck waiting for my partner to finish the dependent task assigned to him, so I decided to investigate on my own how to reduce the complexity of the current code and avoid adding nested code to the chat component. I learned about a new way to reuse code, extend behaviors easily and have components as small functions using functional programming and React hooks, while also implementing the real-time connection. As my colleague did not agree to do it in a different way, I proceeded to speak with the PM about the advantages that this new utility offered us and I made a presentation to share the knowledge gained about this new React feature with the rest of the team. 76 | - Result: We agreed with the team to use this new strategy for this implementation and thanks to this we were able to finish the feature 2 weeks ahead of schedule and increase test coverage by 20% by having small features that were much easier to maintain and test. Also, a few months later I made a talk about these topics for the rest of the company and it was shared on YouTube. 77 |
78 | 79 |
80 | Give me a specific example of a time when you had to conform to a policy with which you did not agree. 81 | 82 | - Using fingerprint to register arrival and departure time at work 83 |
84 | 85 |
86 | Please discuss an important written document you were required to complete. 87 | 88 | - Documenting multi-tenant architecture 89 | - Situation: Architecture documentation was required by the client. 90 | - Task: Create architecture documentation of the project about purpose, scope, business and technical architecture, data migration and deployment strategies, version management and environment set-up. 91 | - Action: I designed the first version of the document about architectural overview of the solution, to capture and convey the significant architectural decisions which have been made on the system. 92 | - Result: The documentation created was a good guide for new developers to understand the scope of the project, listing all definitions, references and human operations involved to support business processes which are triggered and generate business events. With this guide I defined each business process, design patterns and principles used in the project, coding conventions, describing frameworks, services and dependencies involved in the execution, defining the tiers where the software components are deployed and executed, listing functional and non-functional requirements and about technical architecture I generated component, deployment, package, use case and entity relationship diagrams to illustrate the logical structure and organization of the project. I identified opportunities for improvement about deployment strategies to automate the process publishing new releases to Production environment and avoiding risks to access to the database externally due to default configurations. 93 |
94 | 95 |
96 | Tell me about a time when you had to go above and beyond the call of duty in order to get a job done. 97 | 98 | - Use personal time to update deprecated templates and avoid code refactors of the project in the future. 99 | - Create a fully working prototype instead of a PoC to make a good impression with a partner. 100 | - Committed working in a PoC until early the next day. 101 | - Attending a meeting with the client while I was in a recreational activity of the company (playing bowling with coworkers). 102 | - Working in a presentation during weekends for all-hands meeting. 103 |
104 | 105 |
106 | Tell me about a time when you had too many things to do and you were required to prioritize your tasks. 107 | 108 | - Daily meetings to prioritize tasks. 109 | - Stoping/Delegating my tasks to help coworkers and other teams of the project (Releases to production, Hotfixes). 110 |
111 | 112 |
113 | Give me an example of a time when you had to make a split second decision. 114 | 115 | - Reverting deployment testing on production (CodePush not working with a hotfix to log native exceptions). 116 | - Stop a presentation with the client to rescue my cat while he was walking on the balcony outdoor. 117 |
118 | 119 |
120 | What is your typical way of dealing with conflict?

126 | 127 |
128 | 129 | Tell me about a time you were able to successfully deal with another person even when that individual may not have personally liked you (or vice versa). 130 | 131 | 132 | - It's work, never mix business with personal matters (Loss of professionalism, maintain a balance between personal and professional lives). 133 | - PM taking bad decisions with the client, so taking decisions with the rest of the team and the software architect. 134 |
135 | 136 |
137 | Tell me about a difficult decision you've made in the last year. 138 | 139 | - Study for this interview, remember concepts that I'd not reviewed since college (Practice algorithms and many other things in a short time) 140 | - Situation: Many other professionals prepare months and even years to present themselves to a FAANG company, this is my first time and the recruiter contacted me because of my contributions, I was not prepared, It has really been a lot of work these days, preparing for these meetings, a lot to do in a short time. 141 | - Taking a remote job with only 4 months working as a Software Architect in another company 142 |
143 | 144 |

163 | Give me an example of a time when you motivated others. 164 | 165 | - Being speaker in local communities like CodeYourFuture 166 | - Helping another developer to get a new role (Being a mentor) 167 |
168 | 169 |
170 | Tell me about a time when you delegated a project effectively. 171 | 172 | - Delegating leadership while helping to develop her confidence **(nobody is indispensable, avoid comfort zones, upgrade her skills, adopt a proactive approach)** 173 |
174 | 175 |
176 | Give me an example of a time when you used your fact-finding skills to solve a problem. 177 | 178 | - Stranger things with the code (Strange behaviors, code not working as expected) 179 | - Creating templates and fixing issues learning new technologies with Open Source projects 180 |
181 | 182 |

193 | 194 |
195 | Tell me about a time when you were forced to make an unpopular decision. 196 | 197 | - Not using Redux (Popular State management). I'll never know. I got the outcome I wanted, but I might have gotten a better result by handling it differently. 198 |
199 | 200 |
201 | Please tell me about a time you had to fire a friend. 202 | 203 | - Informed but they didn't take me into account 204 |
205 | 206 |
207 | Describe a time when you set your sights too high (or too low). 208 | 209 | - Being a perfectionist and trying to do everything on my own (not settling for what already exists and works, but trying to improve it) 210 |
211 | 212 |
213 | Let's say one of your peers on your team is underperforming. What would you do (if anything)? 214 | 215 | - Divide complex tasks and help my partner by having peer programming sessions to share knowledge or 1-1 meetings to discuss what I can do to help him/her improve in his/her career, I could help him/her with a mentoring process to define some **KPOs (Key Performance Objectives)** to continue growing and looking for him/her to take on new challenges in the project by delegating. 216 |
217 | 218 |
219 | What work have you found most technically challenging in your career and why? 220 |

229 | 230 |
231 | When have you been unhappiest in your professional career and why? 232 |
233 | 234 | 235 | ## Remember 236 | - Be yourself; mention where I have been wrong, I have failed **(Everyone makes mistakes)** and express the initiatives that I have taken. 237 | - Talk more about what I did, instead of talking so much about what we did as a team; e.g: I disccused with the manager, I shared a technical presentation with the team and together we managed to decide this. Talk with your team 238 | - There have been several situations where I failed, did I communicate it in time? it is important to mention it 239 | - Be honest, express if I made bad decisions, if it took me longer, and that I learned from the process. 240 | - How do you interact with the team? 241 | - How do I react to failure? Show what I learned from the experience to avoid repeating the same mistakes. 242 | - Give numbers, coverage improved, how much percentage? improved sales, how much? Did the decisions I made help make life easier for users? 243 | - Focused more about the product and business than technology, its important to ask yourself what are we doing? what is the goal of what we are building? to align the vision with the product team. 244 | - Show them you take responsibility for mistakes. 245 | - Keep it brief and concise. Try to tell the story in chronological order, too, without having to go back and forward in time repeatedly. 246 | 247 | ## Credits: 248 | - [Interview Questions and Answers by LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/interview-prep) 249 | - [The STAR Method of Behavioral Interviewing](https://www.vawizard.org/wiz-pdf/STAR_Method_Interviews.pdf) 250 | - [@RamirezAlex](https://github.com/RamirezAlex) 251 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /CODING_EXERCISES.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | ## Algorithms 2 | - Dijkstra (Shortest paths between nodes in a graph) 3 | - Rabin-Karp (a string-searching that uses hashing to find an exact match of a pattern string in a text) 4 | - Aho–Corasick (a string-searching that locates elements of a finite set of strings within an input text like "dictionary-matching") 5 | 6 | ## Arrays 7 | 8 | ### Given an array of size N in which every number is between 1 and N, determine if there are any duplicates 9 | ```ts 10 | // Time complexity: O(n^2) - BAD 11 | function hasDup (list: Array): boolean { 12 | for (let i = 0;

We need to find those transactions so that they can be dealt with. Everything about the transaction should be identical, except the transaction id and the time at which it occurred, as there can be up to a minute delay. 454 | 455 | A transaction is looks like: 456 | ```json 457 | { 458 | "id": 123, 459 | "sourceAccount": "my_account", 460 | "targetAccount": "coffee_shop", 461 | "amount": -30, 462 | "category": "eating_out", 463 | "time": "2018-03-12T12:34:00Z" 464 | } 465 | ``` 466 | 467 | ```js 468 | // Input: list of transactions (Transaction[]) 469 | findDuplicateTransactions(transactions) 470 | // Output: list of all the duplicate transaction groups, ordered by time ascending (Transaction[][]) 471 | ``` 472 | 473 | Find all transactions that have the same sourceAccount, targetAccount, category, amount, and the time difference between each consecutive transaction is less than 1 minute. 474 | ```js 475 | Array.prototype.flatMap = function(lambda) { 476 | return [].concat.apply([], this.map(lambda)) 477 | } 478 | function diffMinutes(dt2, dt1) 479 | { 480 | const diff = (dt2.getTime() - dt1.getTime()) / 1000 / 60 481 | return Math.abs(diff) 482 | } 483 | // Sort with FP (Inmutability, Pure function) 484 | function sortFP ( 485 | transactions, 486 | timeProp = 'time' 487 | ) { 488 | return [...transactions].sort( 489 | (a, b) => new Date(a[timeProp]) - new Date(b[timeProp]) 490 | ) 491 | } 492 | 493 | // return your result from this function 494 | function findDuplicateTransactions (transactions = []) { 495 | transactions = sortFP(transactions) 496 | /** 497 | * key: sourceAccount__targetAccount__category__amount 498 | * groups: Array] 499 | * firstTime: for sorting groups 500 | * lastTime: last transaction time 501 | * transactions: [] 502 | */ 503 | const map = {} 504 | transactions.forEach((tr) => { 505 | const key = [ 506 | tr.sourceAccount, 507 | tr.targetAccount, 508 | tr.category, 509 | tr.amount 510 | ].join('__') 511 | const time = new Date(tr.time) 512 | const transactionMap = map[key] = map[key] || { 513 | key, 514 | groups: [] 515 | } 516 | // Find the group with identical transactions 517 | const group = transactionMap.groups.find( 518 | g => diffMinutes(g.lastTime, time) <= 1 519 | ) 520 | if (group) { 521 | group.lastTime = time 522 | group.transactions.push(tr) 523 | } else { 524 | transactionMap.groups.push({ 525 | firstTime: time, 526 | lastTime: time, 527 | transactions: [tr] 528 | }) 529 | } 530 | }) 531 | const groups = Object.values(map).flatMap(m => m.groups) 532 | const result = sortFP( 533 | groups, 534 | 'firstTime' 535 | ).reduce((duplicatedGroups, group) => { 536 | // Include groups with duplicated transactions 537 | if (group.transactions.length > 1) { 538 | duplicatedGroups.push( 539 | group.transactions 540 | ) 541 | } 542 | return duplicatedGroups 543 | }, []) 544 | 545 | return result 546 | } 547 | ``` 548 | 549 | ## Credits 550 | - [Jackson Gabbard’s Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcdCkJKXlRoXVD03eo-q8mQ) 551 | - [Power set](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_set) 552 | - [The HackerRank Interview Preparation Kit](https://www.hackerrank.com/interview/interview-preparation-kit) 553 | - [Learn X in Y minutes](https://learnxinyminutes.com) 554 | - [Design Patterns for Humans](https://github.com/kamranahmedse/design-patterns-for-humans) 555 | - [50+ Data Structure and Algorithms Problems from Coding Interviews](https://dev.to/javinpaul/50-data-structure-and-algorithms-problems-from-coding-interviews-4lh2) 556 | 557 | ### Frontend 558 | - [JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures](https://github.com/trekhleb/javascript-algorithms) 559 | - [JavaScript implementations of different famous Computer Science algorithms](https://mgechev.github.io/javascript-algorithms) 560 | - [Clean Code concepts adapted for JavaScript](https://github.com/ryanmcdermott/clean-code-javascript) 561 | - [The Modern JavaScript Tutorial](https://github.com/javascript-tutorial/en.javascript.info) 562 | - [JavaScript Garden](http://bonsaiden.github.io/JavaScript-Garden) 563 | - [Eloquent JavaScript](https://eloquentjavascript.net) 564 | - [Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide](https://github.com/airbnb/javascript) 565 | - [Understanding ECMAScript 6](https://leanpub.com/understandinges6/read) 566 | - [You Don't Know JS Yet](https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS) 567 | - [Functional-Light JavaScript](https://github.com/getify/Functional-Light-JS) 568 | - [33 JS Concepts](https://github.com/adonismendozaperez/33-js-conceptos) 569 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /JOB_CAREER.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | ## Introduce yourself 2 | 3 | ### Personal 4 | Hi, I’m J.D. Nicholls, a passionate software developer from Medellín, Colombia 🇨🇴. 5 | 6 | I thrive on solving problems through technology, optimizing processes, and creating open-source projects that connect people and make a difference in the world. I’m driven by the belief that small contributions can lead to meaningful change, and my work reflects this commitment to innovation and collaboration. 7 | 8 | As a developer, I value teamwork and the exchange of knowledge. I love being part of a team where we can create impactful solutions together, share a passion for coding, and continuously improve our approaches to solving challenges. My goal is to develop technologies that are not only effective but also accessible and impactful, reaching millions of users worldwide. 9 | 10 | I’m known for being disciplined, organized, humble, and committed to ethical values. I embrace continuous learning, innovation, and the pursuit of optimal solutions, all while maintaining a strong focus on integrity and excellence. 11 | 12 | One of my dreams has always been to travel the world, meet new people, and immerse myself in different cultures. To make this a reality, I began working remotely several years ago, allowing me to explore new places while collaborating with diverse teams. These experiences have prepared me for exciting new opportunities and challenges. 13 | 14 | I firmly believe that anyone can achieve success with dedication and effort. I’m excited to continue growing, learning, and contributing to projects that make a real impact. 15 | 16 | ### Professional 17 | 18 | I am an experienced Full-Stack Developer, Open Source Contributor and Chainlink Developer Expert with over 12 years of expertise spanning web, mobile, game, blockchain, and cloud development. My career has been defined by building scalable architectures, delivering seamless user experiences, and driving innovation through cutting-edge technologies and Open Source contributions. 19 | 20 | As the first Founding Full-Stack Engineer at BAXUS, I established the foundational architecture for their marketplace and mobile app, working closely with the CTO and Head of Business. My contributions included building scalable frontend solutions with React, RemixJS, and Nx, implementing Temporal workflows for orchestrating microservices, and leveraging Docker for streamlined deployments. I also played a key role in the integration of Solana blockchain technologies, enabling secure and transparent transactions, and enhancing the onboarding experience for Web2 to Web3 users through providers like Web3Auth and Magic.link. 21 | 22 | Prior to BAXUS, I worked as a Frontend Developer and Team Leader at S4N/Nordstrom, focusing on Employee Selling Tools. I led a team in developing the modular mobile app Nordstrom ON, which enabled employees to generate $4M+ in sales during special events. My role involved designing user-centric interfaces, optimizing app performance, and ensuring seamless collaboration across teams to meet Nordstrom’s high standards for usability and scalability. 23 | 24 | After my time at S4N/Nordstrom, I joined Zagalabs, where I played a pivotal role in refactoring Angular/NgRx codebases and developing microservices integrated with third-party providers like Uber Eats. My contributions improved code reusability across web and mobile platforms while enhancing the overall user experience. Additionally, I delivered scalable cloud solutions that streamlined operations and supported business growth. 25 | 26 | As the creator of Proyecto26, my Open Source organization, I have developed tools like Rest Client for Unity, InAppBrowser for NativeScript, and React Native, with millions of downloads globally, empowering developers worldwide. My passion for sharing knowledge has led me to speak at international events like CityJS, JSConf, and Microsoft DevDays, and mentor local communities such as CodeYourFuture, ColombiaDev, and MedellinJS. 27 | 28 | My mission is to use technology to solve complex challenges, create meaningful solutions, and inspire innovation in every project I work on. 29 | 30 | ### Hobbies 31 | - Making 2d games (Video games) 32 | - Writing about my projects 33 | - Creating video tutorials for my YouTube channel 34 | - Programming/Coding 35 | - Public Speaking (Teaching about Code) 36 | - Being a Mentor (Volunteering) 37 | - Taking Free Online Classes 38 | - Playing tennis 39 | - People Watching 40 | - Inventing projects with technology 41 | - Astronomy 42 | 43 | ### STRENGTHS 44 | 45 | I think I'm very good at working in a team, I've been doing that since I've been working so I think I've become very good at that. And I believe I have good technical skills using different lenguages and tools and good communication skills. 46 | I'm very responsible, reliable and disciplined person. 47 | 48 | ### WEAKNESSES 49 | 50 | - I get distracted easily and do not feel so motivated when I work alone, for that reason I use to have pair programming meetings with my team, to share knowledge but most important to be focus on my tasks and have a lot of motivation working together. 51 | - Sometimes I used to be stubborn when I knew that something can be done better and I took extra part of my personal time to achieve it, because of that I started giving these points for improvement in retrospective meetings, during the planning of our sprints, to take these into account as part of the estimation process because nothing is perfect, everything can be improved, to avoid procrastination. 52 | - In a job where you have to work under pressure and have to commit to strict deadlines, estimating used to be a complicated task for me, so with experience I began to prioritize tasks and dip complexity into simpler tasks with small deadlines to be more efficient while seeing progress soon. 53 | - I used to be a perfectionist in my work, but with experience working with others I learned that Good is better than perfect, because there's trade-off between being agreeable and being execution oriented, when you move fast, you can be aggresive and frustrate the people who want to get things done too 54 | 55 | ## Experience 56 | 57 |
58 | Tell me about a situation when you failed 59 | 60 | - Scaling a problem instead of having a direct conversation with my coworker first. 61 | - I remember once I started on a project that was delayed, having sprints of a week and also I got a hard deadline here. This project was using deprecated libraries and I spent a lot of time updating everything to avoid code refactors in the future, in the end it was a success but I was tired and bored because I had invested a lot of my free time. 62 |
63 | 64 | > It's better if you keep iterating and make it better as well as you need instead of trying to make everything perfect the first time, to avoid frustration because nothing will ever truly be perfect **(Perfect is the enemy of good)** and being able to recognize the value of constructive criticism. 65 | 66 |
67 | How would your boss and co-workers describe you? 68 | 69 | - Recognized for being helpful with the team 70 | - Known for being assertive in proposing solutions and ideas 71 |
72 | 73 |
74 | Why are you leaving your current job? 75 | 76 | I'm no sure if I'm going to leave my current job, honestly I'm curious about the kind of challenges I could face working with you and see if I'm interested because right now I'm working for an excellent company with an amazing team, creating solutions for amazing clients that can reach a lot of people and face great challenges too. 77 |
78 | 79 |
80 | What do you expect with this job? 81 | 82 | - Being able to support others and give back to my community is very important to me (mentorship, speaker). 83 | - Working with you I expect to have the opportunity to express my ideas. Be authentic, creative, and allow me to solve interesting problems that can impact people's lives. 84 | - I would love the possibility to have a career path well defined to grow into the company, to be able to develop my skills and become the best version of myself. 85 | - I hope the chance to share knowledge, continue learning together and get awesome experiences. 86 |
87 | 88 |
89 | What's your dream job? 90 | 91 | - A job that allows me to work from anywhere, being able to be an international speaker and mentor, attend interesting events, share about technology with other people and help tech communities like CodeYourFuture. 92 | - A job that allows me to meet people and innovate while solving complex problems (like magic). 93 | - A job that allows me to research and learn interesting things in order to solve problems with technology. 94 | - Supporting Open Source projects while I'm creating awesome apps. 95 |
96 | 97 |
98 | How you deal with getting stuck? 99 | 100 | I prefer to rely on my team instead of spending a lot of time solving any problem on my own. 101 | - Else if, I try to find out if it's a common mistake or if someone has had the same problem. 102 | - Else if none of the above works, I seek to report the error in case someone else can help me and in the meantime I try to figure this out for myself. 103 |
104 | 105 |
106 | How do you deal with pressure or stressful situations? 107 | 108 | - Stopping to take a moment (10 deep breaths), break the problem into specific issues and priorize to solve that critical situation. 109 |
110 | 111 |
112 | What do you like to do outside of work? 113 | 114 | - I like to share knowledge as speaker/mentor in local communities like ColombiaDev, MedellinJS, CodeYourFuture, etc. 115 | - I like working on open source projects that could be useful for my work and at the same time help others while receiving external feedback to continue learning. 116 | - I also like to spend time with my girlfriend and do exercise, watch movies and series, travel and continue studying. 117 | - I want to create more side projects, apps and games of my own ideas. 118 |
119 | 120 |
121 | What are you looking for in a new position? 122 | 123 | - New challenges 124 | - New ways of doing things to constantly improve 125 |
126 | 127 |
128 | Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 129 | 130 | - I’m looking forward to being a tech interviewer in the next 2 years, I’ve been practicing algorithms, mock interviews and behavioral questions with some books like **Cracking the Coding Interview**, also participating in communities, and I started creating a resource called “The Job Interview Guide”, in order to help other developers to get a great job! 131 | - Developing into a great developer, being an international speaker and helping other developers to grow in this profession is something I'm really excited about. 132 | - I'd like to be seen as someone with deep expertise as Sofwate Architect, being able to build large-scale systems that can face many interesting challenges. 133 | - Well, hopefully working for your company. I would like to first become very good at my job. And then after that I will be ready to asume new responsabilities and go for the next step. 134 |
135 | 136 |
137 | What type of work environment do you prefer? 138 | 139 | - I like working remotely, but I also like working with others, having the opportunity to have flexible schedule to share with my colleagues and my family. 140 |
141 | 142 |
143 | What's time you exercised leadership? 144 | 145 | - Most of the time during meetings, talking about development, etc but I prefer to delegate responsibilities, so anyone on the team can be a leader! 146 |
147 | 148 |
149 | What's time you disagreed with a decision that was made at work? 150 | 151 | - I remember once a **PM** had coordinated a delivery with the client, so we have a meeting with the **Architect** because I did not agree to make decisions without taking the team into account, at the end of the day we had the opportunity to clarify everything and make a better decision all together :) 152 |
153 | 154 |
155 | Have you ever worked with an engineer who wasn't performing well? 156 | - I remember once a developer lied to me about an assigned task because he had been late in completing it, a colleague told me what happened but I preferred to give him a second chance, help him understand the problem he had to avoid it happen again and then he was able to perform the tasks very well. 157 |
158 | 159 |
160 | What is it about you that makes you a good fit for this position? 161 | 162 | - I have the experience you're looking for, but most important, I'm most excited when I work in a team, I love to propose new ideas and take risks, I have experience creating projects for others, which help to generate a great impact while solving all kinds of technical problems. 163 | - With my experience, I know we can face a lot of interesting challenges and deliver better consumer experiences while we're connecting people around the world and learning together. 164 | - I have experience creating tools that are used across the world which allows developers to scale their solutions in many projects, teams and large organizations. 165 |
166 | 167 |
168 | Why do you want to work for us? 169 | 170 | Personally I want to work with you because of the impact you have on people, nothing motivates me more than seeing that my work can make people's live easier, adding my "grain of sand" to change the world by creating creative/innovative solutions that can help to empower people. Also, I like your values, when someone can be authentic, take risks and help others (I believe that most of the world's problems can be solved by connecting people). 171 | 172 | Profesionally, the opportunity to work with talented proffesionals, looking to solve interesting problems with technology but also to have good spaces for sharing knowledge to help me make better decisions, build better products and create better experiences for everyone. 173 |
174 | 175 | > Maybe mention your own ideas about social changes, etc, e.g => https://github.com/proyecto26/social-change 176 | 177 |
178 | What professional accomplishment are you most proud of? 179 | 180 | - Designed the baseline for cross-platform mobile applications in different companies. 181 | - At **Yuxi**, I had the opportunity to mentor a junior developer by delegating leadership responsibilities, helping her develop confidence, and take on new challenges to enhance her soft skills. Because at the end of the day it does not matter who the leader is, but rather that we're happy in what we're doing. 182 | - At my current company I had the opportunity to start working for a Startup that later was acquired by Nordstrom, I had the responsability to investigate new Frontend technologies (Frameworks), migrate some apps and then I defined a modular architecture with **React Native** that today is used for multiple teams. With the help of the team, 2 weeks ago, on the **Nordstrom Anniversary**, the app reached a million dollars in one day, that was impressive! 183 |
184 | 185 |
186 | What's your greatest professional achievement? 187 | 188 | - My best professional achievement is **Proyecto 26**, I created it with the idea of Changing the world with small contributions, basically Open Source projects that can have a positive impact on the world. I've reach more than 1 million downloads with one of my plugins (A native plugin for platforms like iOS and Android in order to improve the user experience), so it's used by a lot of projects and during the process I've had the opportunity to work with people from all over the world and learn a lot! 189 |
