Seriously, been working as a software developer for 9 years now and never passed a single coding test.
The jobs I got were always the ones giving me weekend projects or just no coding test at all.
I have a job opportunity that looks exciting but they sent me this coding test link and I know I’m gonna fail for sure. Any tips aside from the obvious (practicing in advance on leetcode etc)?
Depends on the setup, but if these are tests where the interviewer is present then maybe that’s because they expect you to ask questions.
One of the biggest problems that happens in companies is that people get given a piece of poorly defined work and the developer doesn’t clarify what is required. They make assumption about what is required and end up producing something that isn’t what’s needed.
If you’re just launching into the problems without clarifying what’s needed, you may have failed before you even start.
It’s just a link to an online test and I can do it whenever I want. There’s no interviewer present
