Seriously, been working as a software developer for 9 years now and never passed a single coding test.

The jobs I got were always the ones giving me weekend projects or just no coding test at all.

I have a job opportunity that looks exciting but they sent me this coding test link and I know I’m gonna fail for sure. Any tips aside from the obvious (practicing in advance on leetcode etc)?

    If it’s just an unsupervised timed test just cheat as much as you want since the test is bullshit and most likely has nothing to do with the job you’re actually applying for.

    That’s not cheating - that’s doing the job. Whether that involves looking everything up, asking for help, brute forcing it, hell (not recommended, but) even copy+pasting code.

    If that’s how you’re going to be working, then it’s an accurate representation of what kind of results your employer can expect.
