The Interview Itself
Everything around the code that also decides the outcome.
You can solve the problem and still fail the interview - or solve it partially and pass. This module is about the human side: communicating your thinking, a starter framework for system design, answering behavioral questions, recovering from mistakes, and a plan to practice it all.
