the interviewer is rooting for you. they want to fill the role asap and are tired of interviewing. they wanna hear how you think and get a sense of how it'll be working with you, the end result is not that important. be pragmatic, organized. ask a lot of questions. it's not the job of your life.

I 100% agree with this, but it really depends on the interviewer. I've had a few that it didn't feel like they rooted for me at all. Interviewing is a skill as I mentioned in the post - for both sides. Some interviewers don't know how to interview.

had some like that as well. it tells a lot about the culture there. should be a reason to say no to that company if you proceed.

Thanks for sharing, very good advices. Recently started solving leetcode challenges after I do the challenge I also look into the best answer and compare it with mine (time complexity etc). Helps me learn a lot. I think that is a good approach. My 2 cents.
