Thank you for the advice. Definitely need to research all possible apprenticeships etc. The Twitter one specifically says bootcamp grads. Gives me hope lol As for the technical interview for these apprenticeships. Are they just leetcode type questions? Honestly I’ve just been st

So they get FLOODED with applications. Which is why that Google recruiter was brave to post the other day haha.
Most of them send out some essay style questions in the application and more importantly a hackerrank or codesignal test. The tests I've seen (second hand through Fellows) are classic DS&A/leetcode and medium-hardish. The problem is because there are so many applications, you basically have to be perfect or very close to perfect to not get filtered out. I've heard of some people cheating (and they detect that too) and trying to really "pass the test" mentality... which is actually the opposite of what these apprenticeships want.... there are just so many applications it's the best they can do to filter.
You can try a sample test we offer at Formation: [https://formation.dev/join/assessment](https://formation.dev/join/assessment)
You'll get your score after completing. Since you've been doing DS&A for 2 months you should try it and see how you're doing.
