I hope you find the selection of challenges useful; if you would like to see videos on other challenges, please let me know in the comments!
Very much so, I always struggled with coming up with specific examples as the problem space seemed so large. Breaking it down to time pressure, failure etc helped!
you are doing a great job, helping thousands now and generations to come in academia!
Thank you very much!!
Initially i was thinking there was not challenge i have ever encountered with but the way you started elaborating different situations then i realized omg a lot I faced, and independently or in team I have contributed to solve this.
Thanks for writing, I am glad the video helped you prepare for this question.
this is so awesome thank you!
Thank you!!
Thanks a lot...
Glad you liked it!
What if your biggest challenge is actually getting that interview you are currently doing...:). Would that be a good answer? Honestly, it may be someone's biggest challenge
Wouldn't use that as an answer....but that maybe is a matter of opinion.
