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)?

    If the job market around you sucks then you may have to just practice until you get good enough.

    However that does not mean online code tests are accurate or properly reflect your skills and ability to do actual job work. They’re a tool used by companies that don’t respect the candidate’s time and you should see that as a mini red flag.

      Yeah it really does suck. Literally every company is sending me an online coding test. Only one so far had a problem that was related to my daily job.
