Should you use high or low level programming languages in an interview?

“I am not sure if there is an advantage in using high level programming languages or low level ones. Which programming language should I use”

In case you know multiple programming languages you might ask yourself which one you should pick in an interview.

Pick the relevant language you know best

The answer is pretty simple: just pick the one that you know best and that has something to do with the company you apply for. If you apply for a web development position, it would probably not make sense if you try to conduct the interview in C.

If the company is relatively small then chances are they will ask dedicated questions about the tech stack they are using and which you would use if you were to join the company.

Large companies like Google or Facebook are typically much more flexible in that regard because they just want to see that you can write code and solve problems. The language here is not so important because they have so many openings in a lot of different teams that they will be able to find a position that matches your skill set.
