Advice for students (dos and don’ts)?

Samsung R&D is the company that selected me, but you might be interested in hearing why I wasn't selected by other companies that interviewed me before this. My first interview was with Goldman Sachs. It was my first interview ever, so I was extremely nervous, and my preparation wasn't great—I struggled with coding and, more importantly, with probability and statistics. I want to emphasize that MSO201, which covers probability and statistics, is a crucial part of your preparation. The interviewer spent almost 30 minutes asking me about MSO concepts. So, if you're aiming for companies like Goldman Sachs, you must be confident in your coding skills, which only comes with thorough preparation, and you should have a solid understanding of MSO topics. This knowledge is also helpful for roles like quant analyst. The next interview was with Adobe, which was purely coding-based. Since I wasn't well- prepared for coding, I struggled and was rejected. The third interview was for a Qualcomm SDE role. During the interview, they mainly asked me about concepts from ESC201, EE200, and EE250. This was the best interview I ever had, but in the end, they only selected candidates from the CSE for the SDE role, as far as I recall. In conclusion, if you're confident in your skills, your interviews will likely go well. However, if you're underprepared, you'll find it challenging. My advice is to prepare thoroughly and stay calm during interviews. Good luck and prepare well!
