Be yourself and relax in 2017. It will be a great year for hard working people, Julia, you are one of them.
A - Do not act like you know everything. (I am still learning, do one thing a time.)
B - Do not be a hero. (I make mistakes, and then know how to calculate the risk better)
B - Do not be overly format. (Specially, do not purchase too many clothes.)
O - Do not over-prepare. (Treat yourself as a human being. Stay in the moment. )
P - Do not panic if a problem stumps you. (Nobody is perfect. Even champions will fail over and over again.)
S - Do not second-guess yourself. (Practice makes perfect. Do one thing a time)
S - Do not stress if you are not a 10X coder. (Julia, you fail so many times in programming contests, then you learn the difficulty of problem solving.)
Review the interview cheat sheet blog's notes, write down most favorite ones:
1. Don't be overly format. "Don't act like somebody you're not - it's really a come-as-you-are environment."
2. Don't second-guess yourself. "You have to have confidence in your ability to make connections, because executives are going to challenging your recommendations. You'll be expected to back them up."
3. Don't act like you know everything.
4. Don't stress if you're not a 10X coder.
5. "The interview isn't grading you on your improv skills, but whether you steer difficult conversations forward without falling for distraction."
6. Don't be a hero. "Be able to articulate your specific contributions instead of doing everything yourself."
7. Don't over-prepare. "Planning everything you're going to say and do in the case study portion of the interview makes for a stale presentation and misses the mark. The point of the case is to see how you approach problems in real time."
8. Don't panic if a problem stumps you. "We're really trying to assess your thought process, so if you get stuck or make a mistake, don't stress out - nobody is perfect."
