Overall Experience
Preparation Tips
Stick to the frequently asked list
It’s very common in PayPal interviews to receive slightly broken logic and be asked to fix or optimize it
Practice reading and debugging others' code too.
General advice
Stay calm and structured
It's completely okay to pause for 10–15 seconds before you start solving, gather your thoughts, explain your plan, and then code
Explain while coding
Even if you know the solution, walk your interviewer through it
It shows confidence and makes debugging easier if something goes wrong.
