One week to prepare for a Meta E4 software engineer interview
Start with a timed coding session and a design discussion, then spend the week on the gaps they expose. Practice changing code with AI and explaining your project decisions. Here’s a day-by-day plan.
Should you practice with AI, a partner, or an interview coach?
I’d use AI for repeated practice, a partner to work through a live conversation, and a coach with relevant experience when I need a closer assessment of the role’s expectations. You may only need one of them. Let’s work through the tradeoffs.
Preparing for a software engineer behavioral interview
Pick a few experiences that relate to the role. Practice explaining your decision, your contribution, and the result, then have someone ask follow-ups. Here’s how to choose those examples and turn them into a week of practice.
Let’s work through a behavioral interview answer.
For an answer about a disagreement, explain both approaches, what you did, and what changed. Let’s apply that to an Android rollout: improve a first answer, then work through the follow-ups.
When did you last practice explaining your work?
Choose a project you know well, answer a question aloud, and practice the follow-ups. In RoundHound, start a Behavioral round, review what came across, and work on one specific part before trying again.
