Common questions about projects
- Walk me through this project. What was your part?
- Why did you choose this stack or approach?
- What was the hardest bug and how did you find it?
- How would this scale to 100 times the users?
- What would you do differently now?
Common questions about internships
- What did you ship, and who used it?
- How did you measure the result you wrote?
- What did you learn from your manager's feedback?
- Tell me about a disagreement with a teammate.
Questions about skills you listed
Anything in your skills section is fair game. If you list SQL, expect a join or window-function question. If you list React, expect questions on state and rendering. Remove skills you cannot answer two layers deep on.
