The short version
Why the Node Js interview is hard
Node.js interviews turn on the event loop. Understanding what single-threaded actually means, and why one slow synchronous function stalls every request on the process, is the core of it.
What to expect
The rounds you should rehearse
The event loop
phases, the microtask queue, and why ordering surprises people.
Blocking
what a CPU-bound function does to every other in-flight request.
Streams and backpressure
handling data larger than memory without falling over.
Avoid these
The mistakes that quietly sink candidates
Saying Node is single-threaded without being able to explain what that means for I/O.
Running CPU-heavy work on the main thread and blocking the whole process.
Buffering an entire file into memory where a stream was the obvious answer.
Reading the questions is not practicing them.
