Golang Developer Interview Tips: How to Tackle Concurrency and Stay Calm
What should I expect in a Golang developer interview, and how can I stay calm when they ask about concurrency or debugging? I have my first Go-specific job interview soon, and while I’m excited, I feel nervous.
My Go experience comes from side projects and open-source work, but I haven’t interviewed for a dedicated Go developer role before. People keep saying that Golang interviews focus heavily on concurrency-things like goroutines and channels.
Do interviewers really dive deep into those topics, or do they care more about real-world problem solving and writing clean, idiomatic code? If you’ve been through a Go interview, what questions did you get?
Did they ask about runtime internals, or stick to general software engineering topics? How do you keep your cool if you need to debug code or explain channels under pressure?
I tend to overthink, so any advice on last-minute topics to review or ways to avoid freezing up would help a lot. Thanks!
