I was in a similar position, for me the best results were achieved by doing easy coding challenges then solving together a less easy problem.

  • In the first part, the goal of the exercise was to see if the candidate knows how to use the programming language (in my case it was JS and the problems were solvable by using a bunch of high-order functions).
  • Then in the second part, the goal was to find out if the candidate thought about the time and space complexity.

If you are wondering what does these problems looks like, you could find them here.

Hope it helps :)
