I do technical interviews for my current company. Without internship experience, it's difficult for me to assess your technical prowess. I don't do algorithmic questions. My advice is fill the lack of internship experience with a few open source contributions to real projects. It'll put you through the motions of collaboration, architectural decisions, trade-offs, etc. Then you'll be able to talk shop. An addendum: hiring isn't a meritocracy, even in engineering. Make your interviewer(s) feel good. Be conversational.
