Episode description

Clément Mihailescu enrolled in a coding bootcamp without ever having written a single line of code. Less than six months later, he secured a job at Google as a software engineer. His experience applying for jobs also inspired him to start a side business, helping others practice for the technical interview. 

In this episode, we discuss…

  • How to land a job at a top tech company
  • What it’s like working at Google
  • How to prepare for a coding interview
  • What it’s like balancing a side gig and a full-time job

Update (Nov 2019): Laurence mentions in the episode that you can get 30% off AlgoExpert. This has since been reduced to 15%.
