Welcome to the code2040 applicant playbook

This online resource offers advice, activities and materials to prepare you for an amazing internship in the tech industry. The Playbook will help you prioritize tasks based on where you are in the application process.

The Playbook is inspired by the roadmap model featured in Gayle Laakmann McDowell’s Cracking the Coding Interview, which offers a step-by-step guide on getting the right technical experience, applying to tech companies, and preparing to answer questions and solve problems posed in an interview.

It doesn't matter if you have a great deal of experience under your belt or if you are just beginning to explore a possible career in tech. This Playbook will give you the right guidance and tools to prepare yourself for the task!

To get started, we recommend all applicants to review all tabs, beginning with One Year Before Interviewing. Even if you are already further along in the application process, it never hurts to review all the advice we have to offer.

Best of luck!
