]. Technicalinterviews are a component of the hiring process that tests job candidates’ computing knowledge,skills, and problem-solving ability [10, 12]. Using whiteboards, text editors, or pencil and paper,these examinations of technical acumen typically require live coding, while also encouragingcandidates to speak through their thought process, and to find an optimal solution (in terms ofalgorithmic efficiency and memory allocation) [9, 10]. Prior work has shown that the convergenceof these expectations, and the preparation they require, can be a major challenge for graduateslooking to start their career. However, little is known about how students interpret the process,and particularly, the unique experiences of students minoritized in the field. As such
