A couple of months back, my friend asked me about Uber interview guidelines. I shared with him some links from the web, especially some cool videos like this I found from 30 seconds of googling.
He thanked me but said programming questions were too stressful for him, given the amount of time allowed.
I asked him the source of his interview preparation, and he shared this link:
I freaked out looking at the star count!
In fact, I was jealous. In my lifetime, I had produced and open-sourced components that saved me weeks of work, but I never reached a 50-star count on Github!
Before hanging up, he said he would pay some academy to train for the interview. I felt it would increase his investments, and thus, the stress.
