[radiant verge]

A Medium and hard question from tagged top 40

[open temple]

[radiant verge]

[worthy compass]

Are you intl student?

[radiant verge]

no

[open temple]

I know you mentioned the role, but what level is that?

[radiant verge]

SDE1/L4

[iron cloak]

Congratulations 🥂

[tawdry coral]

did you sort by frequency?

[radiant verge]

Thank you!

[radiant verge]

Yes

[tawdry coral]

asking hard is foul

[hallow hatch]

were the interviews mostly LP's or mostly technical?

[radiant verge]

I would say half and half. As long as you solve a problem in less than 30 mins maybe they assign a little more time to LPs but both interviews lasted for an hour

[tepid hill]

As long as it's a famous lc hard, it's okay

[tawdry coral]

https://leetcode.com/problems/sum-of-total-strength-of-wizards/

This is in top 10

If I get this, its over

[misty oar]

How long had you lc prepped before the interview

[radiant verge]

I would say few months

[elfin palm]

Is it normal for Amazon new grad ?

[elfin palm]

Would you say grinding only LC easy and medium is good enough?

[analog wave]

Whats pc

[elfin palm]

LC typo my bad

[radiant verge]

Not sure but some new grads have been getting hard problems

[radiant verge]

I would do some hard questions as well

[elfin palm]

The questions would all be themed on Amazon right, nothing will be exactly like the actual LC questions?

[fossil wyvern]

i think hard is becoming more common now, just because they know there are several people who have grinded hundreds of leetcode problems, so their solution is that just giving a harder problem will help them find the best candidate

afaik some amazon teams don't ask DP though

[radiant verge]

I got actual LC questions

[radiant verge]

Exactly

[elfin palm]

Which ones?
It’s LC prep anyway so I hope u don’t mind sharing

[radiant verge]

Not sure if I’m allowed to disclose the questions but the tagged 40 by frequency should help you

Also I doubt the questions get repeated

As long as you’re decent at LC it should be okay I think

[elfin palm]

Okay thanks man

[lime zinc]

congratulations @radiant verge I have also got the interview oppurtunity for this particular role but I got reject mail even after performing well.

[radiant verge]

I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. It could be the leadership principles then

[lime zinc]

Yeah.

They are not expecting to be 10/10

[gilded hatch]

Congrats

[radiant verge]

Thanks!

[elfin palm]

Were you asked team or role specific questions?
Or just LC and LP?

[hallow hatch]

were the LP questions similar to the ones from here?

https://managementconsulted.com/amazon-leadership-principles/

[radiant verge]

Just LC and LP

[radiant verge]

A little

[opaque peak]

Do they ask u to do the technical question in a specific language?

[radiant verge]

No you can choose any language

[cobalt thicket]

Did you have any other technical Q&A (maybe something specific to the role) other than coding?

[radiant verge]

nope

[elfin palm]

Were your questions string and hashmap or something different?

[opaque peak]

hey sorry to ask again but did u get an email like this "aws de opportunity - next steps in the interview process" or similar like that? Just wonder if they send it automatically after u finish the OA 🥹

[radiant verge]

It’s not automatic. I got an email from my recruiter saying they will be scheduling an interview

[opaque peak]

thank you for your reply!!

[warm nexus]

Recruiter initials?

[analog wave]

Do u have 1+ yoe? All the de roles require 1+ yoe at amzn, from what i see

I have 1+ yoe if i count internships, but not fulltime..

[opaque peak]

no i don't. There are a few NG roles from the last months I think

[opaque peak]

hi, sorry for bothering again but can I ask do u get any system design?

[radiant verge]

not for sde1
