“The interview doesn't start when they ask the question. It starts when they challenge your answer. I kept preparing definitions; interviewers kept asking about trade-offs and failure modes. For the first time in years, I walked in prepared for the conversation, not just the questions.”
Mark, Staff Mobile Engineer · 11 yearsEarly reader“I've bought many iOS interview books, but they're all far behind this one ☝️. What I love most is that Mike shares his real experience instead of just listing questions and answers. It's practical, easy to follow, and feels like advice from someone who's actually been through these interviews. I'm still preparing for my interviews, but this book has already changed the way I think about live coding sessions. I've always struggled with explaining my thought process while coding 😭, and this book really opened my eyes to how to approach problems, communicate my reasoning clearly, and avoid turning the session into complete chaos ❤️. Amazing resource! I highly recommend it!!!”

Then I found Mr. Mike's book on LinkedIn, and it made all the difference. His excellent plan worked for me, leading to my first job contract today! After six months of searching and over ten failed interviews, this book was incredibly helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend this second edition to anyone struggling with technical interviews, it's easy to follow and the best resource out there.”
Vivek KumarGumroad verified purchase“Usually I don't write reviews but this one really helped me. I used this book and improved my resume and LinkedIn. My visibility score went from 53 to 96 from 100 and I started getting replies and interview invites. I know how to approach recruiters. The idea of signal vs skill made a lot of sense to me. It showed me that I was not being seen clearly, even if I had the skills. The book helped me fix how I present my work in a simple and practical way. After using it, I finally started getting more chances for interviews.”

Nick RuthGumroad verified purchase“Wow. Just wow. Mike recommended this book during my CV audit, and I grabbed it as part of the deal. Best decision. I've been doing Android for 6 years, and this book made me feel like I was discovering Android again. So many interesting questions and topics that made me stop and think. Highly recommended.”
