nah, but i have heard of people getting it. think it's just chance
three 1h interviews, one half behavioral + an lc medium, one was just two lc mediums with expansions no behaviorals, and then bar raiser
how was the bar raiser?
what questions were you asked
do you have to do well in the bar raiser to get the job? or is it more so to place u
I think if bar raiser doesn’t like you they can over rule decision by other interviewers
What is bar raiser
from my understanding this is the most important interview if anything, if you get it. i dont think everyone gets one because bar raisers will never ask leetcode and some people report getting leetcode in all 3 interviews
but they are specifically trained interviewers from anywhere in the org who just grill you on behavioral
if they dont like you they can veto your hire even if your other interviewers really like you is my understanding
you have to do well to get hired, i dont think bar raiser has any impact on where you're placed
oh interesting
the word bar raiser just sounds like its for placement or smth
lolol
its because the rule at amazon is they only want to hire you if you meet the "bar" of being better than at least 50% of people in similar roles currently at the company, and so the interviewer by determining whether to hire you is "raising the bar"
when did you give your interview/OA ?
were the questions tagged?
canada or us
