# Cracking the (embedded) Coding Interview

**[EmbeddedRelated](https://daily.dev/sources/embeddedrelated)** · 7 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A practical guide for embedded software engineers preparing for technical interviews, written by someone who recently went through the process. Covers behavioral interview tips using the STAR method, DSA practice via LeetCode (focusing on arrays, strings, and bit manipulation rather than complex structures), and embedded systems theory including microcontroller architecture, C syntax, and communication protocols. Recommends Python over C for LeetCode practice, and curates specific resources like theEmbeddedNewTestament GitHub repo, Jacob Sorber's YouTube channel, and CodeSignal for mock assessments. Ends with grounded advice on managing expectations in a tough job market.
