Hi fellow leetcoders,

I have my first interview upcoming. Although I have solved many questions till date and can do 3 questions in the contests most of the times. I don't know yet if I am prepared enough to apply in multiple companies.

My question is, as I am giving my first interview soon, how do I know I'm good enough to apply for other companies too?

Here are my concerns:

  • Scenario 1 - What if I get a job offer from company A? And as I don't have any counter offers, I have to go with it because that's the only thing I have in my hand right now. But I might be prepared enough to get a better offer from company B, but I'm underestimating myself in the fear of getting a 6 months ban from reapplying into the other companies.

  • Scenario 2 - What if I get an offer from company A, say yes to the offer and still continue searching for better offers while I'm serving my notice period. Is it a good idea to ditch company A after saying yes to their offer in the situation I get a better offer from company B? Will I face any consequences by doing so?

To summarize, what shall be the strategy to get the best offer from the best company you can without having to keep switching between multiple companies after a few months of job? I've heard from people that switching multiple times in the span of a year might have a negative impression on your resume and want to avoid it if possible. To add to it, how do I know I'm prepared to crack most of the interviews?
