Common Mistakes in Answering Technical Questions

It is important for you to have a comprehensive list of product attributes as it will help you make an informed technical decision. Remember to consider, at least, the relevant attributes in technical feasibility, user experience, and the potential business impacts of your technical decision.

Every technical decision has its tradeoffs. Don’t forget to point them out to the interviewer so they know that you are aware of the potential negative consequences of your technical decision.

Interviewers are used to seeing the technical design of a product in a whiteboard. Make preparations prior to the interview about how to present your answer. While it is true that you can draw your design on a piece of paper and present it, using a whiteboard or a third-party tool shows that you pay attention to the quality of the message you are trying to communicate to the interviewers.
