[Edbert Chan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edbert-chan-18a96950/) is a senior Android engineer at Uber. He wrote the popular guide “Welcome To The Coding Interview - You Suck” freely [available here](https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1eKirumpmwDWTtKCJKn2HuoQ2NavEfR41whmTyaQcio4/mobilebasic).

The extensive guide is filled with practical tips for job seekers to pass the modern interview process at tech companies. In this session, Edbert will cover the 9 mistakes that hold people back from passing technical interviews, including:

- Not Putting Enough Time
- Interview Approach Is Inconsistent
- Not Fixing Your Own Mistakes
- Not Understanding Your Own Solution Before Coding
- Not Being Fast Enough
- Being Full of Shit
