Choosing the right platform for your interview preparation
HackerRank started in competitive programming but now mostly serves companies running technical screens for hiring. You might have taken a HackerRank test as part of a job application. PracHub sits on the other side of the table — it is built for candidates, not employers, and its questions come from real interview experiences rather than platform-authored challenges.

Your interviews include system design, behavioral, or ML rounds that HackerRank does not cover. Or you want to practice with the actual questions companies ask, not generic coding challenges.
