The One Question You Need to Be Confident Answering in an Interview

There's one question that you should be 100% confident in answering during an interview—and it has nothing to do with coding.

When engineers fail interviews, I see too many just automatically make the conclusion they must need to Leetcode more. Having interviewed hundreds of engineers myself, I can tell you that coding is necessary, but it's not sufficient enough to land you a job at the top tech companies.

There's one question that sums up this idea of being more than just someone who can code well, and it's often asked in many interviews during the behavioral portion. I'll explain what that one question is and why it's so important to feel confident answering it before you even submit an application at a top company.
