Hello,
What books are out there to prepare for a SDET / SET (Sw Dev Engr in Test / Sw Engr in Test) job interview in US?
I have several years of job experience as a Sw Test Engr / QA Engr but I have not interviewed for quite some time.
I know the that the type of questions asked in an interview has changed. There are a few books that I found by searching on Amazon.com, but I would like to get some input from people who have studied from some of the books.
Thanks,
Anand

Couple of books which have a good review on Amazon.com are:
Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Job, 2nd Edition (Programmer to Programmer) by John Mongan, Noah Suojanen and Eric Giguère (Paperback - Apr 30, 2007)
Cracking the Coding Interview: 150 Programming Questions and Solutions by Gayle Laakmann McDowell (Paperback - Aug 22, 2011)
Has anyone studied from these books?

I have been reading the book 'Programming Interviews Exposed', 2nd Edition.
It is a good book to prepare for coding interviews. There are a lot of questions, explanation to solving the problems and answers in Java/C/C++/C#.
