Inhaltsangabe:

For over a decade, Cracking the Coding Interview has been hailed as the "bible" of interview prep. Now, Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview builds on that foundation to prepare you for today's tougher coding interviews and hiring climate.

• Bonus! All online orders receive immediate access to two chapters, so that you can get started while you wait for your book to arrive. See beyondctci.com to redeem after ordering. You also get $50 off mock interviews on interviewing.io.
• In-book solutions are in Python; online solutions are in Java, JavaScript, and C++; AI Interviewer is language-agnostic.

This sequel introduces 13 new technical topics—including sliding windows, prefix arrays, and topological sort—and adds over 150 new problems, each with step-by-step walkthroughs. We also give you problem-specific triggers and five problem-solving boosters to help you get unstuck, plus an iterative study plan that will teach you to think—not memorize.

We go beyond interview prep, too. Most job search advice is generic and doesn’t come from engineers. We show you how to land referrals when you don't know anyone, get your offers to come in at the same time, negotiate the best possible offer, not screw up your behavioral interviews, and balance company outreach, practice, and interviewing. We also include a curated set of interview replays, from interviewing.io’s collection of FAANG mock interviews. Watch others interview and learn from their mistakes so you’re not doomed to repeat them.

Is technical interviewing still flawed? Yep, absolutely. Beyond CtCI will help you navigate those flaws and come out ahead.

WHAT'S INSIDE?

New technical tips, tricks, and tools:

• 13 New Chapters and Expansions: Including topics such as two pointers, sliding windows, topological sort, prefix sums, heaps, and greedy algorithms.
• 150+ New Problems: Ranging from fresh takes on old classics to brand-new algorithmic problems.
• Triggers and Boosters: How to solve any question with boundary thinking (Big O and beyond), trigger analysis, and our top five problem-solving boosters.
• Interview Replays: Watch close to a hundred interview replays, drawn from interviewing.io’s collection of FAANG mock interviews.
• Data-Driven Approaches to the Soft Squishy Stuff: Go deep into how to land interviews at top-tier companies, properly time your job search, master behavioral questions, and negotiate a better offer. And learn exactly what to say in most hiring situations you’re likely to encounter.

Everything else, revised and expanded on:

• Salary negotiation: A tactical guide that tells you exactly what to say and how to not screw up your negotiations before they even start
• Managing your job search: How to balance interview prep with applications and outreach
• A worksheet that helps you plan the order in which you engage with companies, so all your offers arrive at the same time
• Getting noticed: Email templates to get a referral when you don't have one
• FAANG company rubrics: Understand what interviewers really care about, no matter what company you're applying to
• Behavioral interviews: How to deliver the right signal to interviewers and avoid the mistakes that even great engineers make

Note: We've chosen to focus on algorithms/coding questions, plus behavioral questions, and not cover system design.
