hello,
i had a interview online today for an entry level front end developer position, and i did well on the multiple choice questions online. They consisted of basic to intermediate questions on html/css and some general programming questions that werent too mind bending.
After i had passed their questionnare i was given coding questions that had to be figured out.
I couldnt even make it out of the first question which asked me how to reverse a “binary tree” through javascript code. Needless to say, i felt frustrated because all the tutorials on coding never prepared me for a question like that. Supposedly that was one of the easiest coding questions they gave me.
Anyways, i ended up flunking their test.
it also made me wonder if im pursuing the right career choice if i cant pass the easiest coding question they had? Do i enjoy coding? Absolutely! but maybe it should be a hobby now instead of a career change. I was definitely humbled by this experience and wondered what i could of done to be better prepared?
