Mock Technical Interview - Javascript Developer Entry Level

This is great! Props to Eli for pushing past the nervousness and settling in, it must've been extra hard for him knowing it was going to be recorded and uploaded to YT. I would LOVE more of these! I'd also love to volunteer to do a mock interview with you (me as the interviewee), if you'd like. I might not be quite at the point I'd need to be YET but I'd still love to do it!

Eli, if you're reading this I just wanna give you props for doing this. It might not seem like it but this is an extremely important experience to undertake in your journey. You have no idea how much you'll learn by going through this kind of pressure. Well done man, keep it up!

I love how real this is. I've had extreme imposter syndrome since the beginning of my coding journey and seeing this interview made me feel more comfortable as I learn to get better at interviews. Thanks Nader and Eli for being brave to do this live!

This is so much better than "Google SWeng mock interviews former Meta PM". It's relatable, lift you up to keep going on, it's more engaging to watch and think "I know this one! Say this Eli!", it doesn't end the video making me feel shit. Kudos to Eli!

as someone who graduated I can see say its awesome to see an interview like this, sometimes you know the answer but you havent organised your thoughts properly and its good to see that this is normal and can happen

This is massive for me, seeing an interview like this gives me confidence about going into an interview. Eli thank you for putting yourself in this position for someone like me on a similar journey, its super helpful getting insight like this. I am not naive though, I have seen many bad interviewers in my time.

Eli looked like a gamer turned coder to figure out how the games are made, it was fun to watch both of you. He totally nailed it and you helped him build his confidence which he needed at that time. Great!

man nader seems like such a wholesome guy to work with, props to the guy being interviewd working through all the stress

Oh my gosh I did it. The second challenge. It's not elegant, no. I'm absolutely certain there's a better, cleaner way to do it. But I did it. Maybe not a big deal to most, but I'm not working as a dev yet, still learning, so for me this is huge. Screw it, I'm taking this win.

Eli, I don't normally comment on these sorts of things but I feel like I just went on a journey with you. You did an INCREDIBLE job. I've been coding in JS for 3 years now, working professionally for 14 months, and I found that last problem really challenging. Really well done! What made your interview so much fun to watch was that it was EXACTLY the same process that I go through every day. The confusion, the pain and finally the clarity. Nader, you were really supportive. You did such a good job. First I've seen of this channel and I've just subscribed. Thanks a bunch guys!

Watched this today as I wrote a fairly complex recursive script at work. Even after years in the industry I still get nervous at job interviews. It was great watching Eli slowly break through his nervousness and give it everything he's got, props to him. I'd love to see more of these in different levels with different people, I like your calm and friendly approach as an interviewer and wish you and your channel good luck. Subscribed!

Oh my gosh the beginning of this interview is me anytime I get asked anything. So much information comes to mind that you dont know where to start and Eli squirming in his seat and eye rolling at himself for incomplete answers at first. Super good for me to watch as I am approaching the start of looking for a job and I want interviews so I can get comfortable. Its soooooo incredibly terrifying walking into a situation that you have no idea how it will be approached. Thank you very much for the content.

Eli, you have my utmost respect for this. Even though you know it is technically not a real interview, you put forth your best effort and explained your process in an incredibly easy to understand way. I'm also 29 and moving into the web development side of things.

Shout out to Eli for putting himself out there like this. I could feel the emotions with him as I tried to answer the questions along with him. Nader is right, you think you know something until you have to explain it by definition. Will definitely be trying some mock interviews when I am ready to understand how ready I truly am LOL. Once again, props Eli 👊

Parsing text can be a hard concept to wrap your head around in the beginning. Plus there's many ways to tackle it. State machines, Regex etc so great job Eli!

Thank you for the raw unedited interview version. We need more such videos. I am on the same boat as well (not good with technical interviews as of today) and looking to improve.

Thank you so much for making this video, Nader & Eli! You’ve really opened the mind of this soon to start, self taught web developer!

I had to take time to comment that this was such a great learning experience you created here. It helped me realize I'm not as clueless as I thought I was.

It was thrilling to watch through this entire mock interview! Huge kudos to Eli for racking up to courage to do and his ability to solve problems is very respectable. I am on the same journey as he is just learning as much as I can to become a full-stack developer and I believe an excercise like this would do me really well. So I hope I could a chance to be featured on your channel.

Proud of Eli for agreeing to upload the video. It's so raw and real that a lot of us beginners can relate to ourselves. I am still stuck with Javascript. 😭
