I recently interviewed with a tech company. I had a lot of experience but not a lot of formal education in the area. I was stressed out of my mind preparing for the interviews, and spent mornings, nights, and weekends devouring everything I could. As you can imagine, there was far more to cover than I could possibly cram into a couple of weeks. I was terrified I would be asked a question about a data structure or sorting algorithm I had never heard of.
Turns out, I way over prepared. 99% of the things I worried about never materialized. All of the things that made the interviews go well came from my experience, not from cramming.
