Hi there,
Across forums and communities, one problem keeps coming up:
skilled tech professionals failing interviews — even after months of preparation.
Real stories:
- A backend engineer:
“My solutions were correct, but I couldn’t explain my reasoning clearly.” - A frontend developer:
“I passed online tests but froze when asked ‘why’ in live interviews.” - Experienced developers:
“I knew the answer, but couldn’t show my thought process under pressure.”
The common thread? Not skill — but how knowledge is communicated.
Developers who finally started landing offers changed their approach:
✅ Practiced thinking aloud while coding
✅ Explained trade-offs and reasoning clearly
✅ Tackled problems like live interviews with partial info
✅ Learned what interviewers really evaluate — decisions, not just answers
Many used interactive, step-by-step platforms that emphasize reasoning over memorization. One platform that kept coming up is Educative, with courses built exactly for this:
👉 Start practicing like top candidates
Bottom line: Interviews aren’t about doing more — they’re about practicing smarter.
