Hi, I’m Esha 👋 Over the years, I have interviewed with over 70+ top companies with no referrals (although you should definitely get referrals!) across big tech, finance, quant, and top startups. I have collected the resources that improved my understanding of algorithms, systems design, behavioral interviews, and engineering judgment. I also participated in 15+ top company insight programs during my time in college, had 3 big tech internships with return offers at all, and ran the Duke women in tech recruiting program with over 150 members.
These are the resources I recommend to students preparing for interviews and careers in SWE! This guide assumes you are enrolled in a CS degree program and have basic coding experience. It is split into four main sections:
✨ These are my favorites! Given that there are a lot of links, I would recommend starting with the starred ones!

Hope this helps and best of luck!
