Globally, the software industry is projected to grow by 31% in the next few years. Despite the ongoing recession, there is a substantial population of aspiring developers who wish to get into top tech companies. As a result, clearing Technical interviews is a big challenge.
Problems faced while preparing for interviews
Lack of guidance: While there are plenty of websites that help with interview preparation, there is no real-time clearing of doubts. Most websites just have predefined hints and complete solutions. Both of these don't mimic the real interview experience
Time Constraints: Many software developers have busy schedules and may not have the time to dedicate to interview preparation. According to a survey conducted by HackerRank in 2018, 50% of developers say that time is the biggest barrier to interview preparation.
Interview anxiety: According to a survey conducted by Hired in 2019, 92% of software engineers experience anxiety during job interviews. This can lead to poor performance, despite having the necessary skills and experience
Problems with existing solutions
AI Chatbots like chatGPT can greatly help with interview preparation. However, the issues associated with them are
Generic: Answers given are generic and not always specific to the use case
Lack of Context: The interview preparation context has to be mentioned each time the user wants to use it
Copy-pasting: copying and pasting every single problem from websites like Leetcode is not very efficient given the time constraint during interview prep
Distracting: Taking the users away from the problem page can be distraction during preparation
