  • Difference between hard technical and soft technical questions, and why both matter.

  • Effective strategies for preparing and drilling to build speed and accuracy.

  • The best resources for technical preparation and how to use them efficiently.

  • Approaches to answer specific technical questions you are preparing for so you can ace your interview.
