Hiring Managers love complex projects on your resume - if you make some cool things while you’re learning, make sure you put it on your resume.
I used a mixture of YouTube, Leetcode, Educative.io, Pramp.io, and mock interviews to prep for Google and Facebook interviews.
Python is great since it’s easy to learn and easy to write during coding interviews. Companies I’ve worked at (Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon) all generally allow you to use any language of your choice.
I also want to stress as a Hiring Manager, the most important question I ask is “Would I work with them?” so make sure to keep this in mind during your interviews.

More details:
The three books I mention in the beginning are arguably the top three most popular books for software engineering. Some other notable examples are:
JavaScript: “You Don’t know JS” - Kyle Simpson
Microservices: “Building Microservices” - Sam Newman
Architecture: “Clean Architecture” - Robert Martin
Java: “Effective Java” - Joshua Bloch
I mentioned two extra ones at the end, which focus more on becoming a better engineer rather than just solely trying to pass job interviews - these two books are a little more controversial (some say it’s outdated, some don’t agree with the design patterns/principles, etc.) but they’re an amazing catalyst to transitioning your mindset into one that’s more focused on important long-term milestones like quality over just building quickly (and of course a bunch of other great learnings).
All books and their Amazon links are in the link in my bio!
14Details:
To raise offers, the recruiter, compensation team, or the Hiring Manager has to make a pretty good case for you to receive more money. Your goal is to show your passion to join, prove your value as an engineer, and most importantly, show the huge loss it would be to the company and the team if they didn’t get to hire you.
In this market, it’s pretty difficult to play the “push-and-pull” game to raise your comp, but negotiation is still key to get your worth as an engineer. Very rarely do companies decide to revoke offers because you asked for more money - nowadays, recruiters are actually trying to help you get more money so they can have you join.
As I mentioned in the video, one of the most sure ways to raise your compensation is through competing offers. If your priority is getting the most money as you can, make sure you try to interview with multiple companies (preferably all in one week) and then you’ll be able to pick and choose your best choice out of all the various compensations and benefits available to you.
The whole concept is pretty ambiguous just because you’re on the other side of the wall - I’ve negotiated many many offers so if you need any tips, let me know in the comments!
