Then how a company selects the people who will be employed as a software engineer?
Of course, the company will perform a selection with strictly in order to get those with the best ability as a software engineer in accordance with the required specifications of the company.
So what needs to be prepared someone who has the capability in software engineering in the following selection in a company that will hire them?
Of course they should know the specifications required by the company and they should have an idea of how the company will select the candidate software engineer at the company. And they have to prepare themselves for the interview process and have an idea of the questions in the interview process.
"Cracking the Coding Interview: 150 Programming Questions and Solutions" by Gayle Laakmann McDowell is a book that discusses the preparation of interview for selection as a software developer. Please understand thoroughly brief description of the book is as mentioned below:
Now in the 5th edition, Cracking the Coding Interview gives you the interview preparation you need to get the top software developer jobs. This is a deeply technical book and focuses on the software engineering skills to ace your interview.
