Senior Developer Interview Questions

94,524 senior developer interview questions shared by candidates

Most of the questions are basic and unpractical. The reviewers prepared a list of questions in front of them and just go through them one by one. There were a couple of writing code scenarios. Some of these questions repeated what you already discussed earlier. The eraser for the white board does not work so the white board looks very messy. Some of these questions were not appropriate for a Senior Developer position at all. There were very few questions about architecture or best practices.

Imagine you have only two eggs and a 100 story building in front of you. Describe an algorithm (or technique) to minimize the number of throws (or tries) to determine where the egg will start to break when thrown off the building. If the egg breaks when thrown from that floor, it will always break from that floor or higher (i.e. all eggs have the same results per floor; they break or they don't).
