congrats

[spice anchor]

congrats! how was ur technical

[oblique sky]

Thx. Yeah it wasn’t very hard tbh. Maybe I got lucky. Leetcode easies

[weary sedge]

when did you interview?

[lean yarrow]

congrats! how many days after your OA did you get the in interview invite?

[verbal haven]

howd u study? was it tagged @oblique sky

[oblique sky]

I did the interview last week and got my offer today

[oblique sky]

Idk what tagged means but I just practiced the behavioral part more than the technical since cramming Leetcode into a few days prolly won’t do much. I wrote out a google doc of the leadership principles and a bullet point or two for each with an explanation for how an experience from a past internship or project relates to that principle. And I wrote out a star method answer for a few of my experiences relating to some leadership principles

[verbal haven]

what were the leetcode qs

[verbal haven]

tagged means like tagged on leetcode for amazon

[oblique sky]

For technical I just tried to get more exposure to graph and dp problems bcz I was unfamiliar with those the most but it turns out I didn’t need it

[verbal haven]

oh bet

[oblique sky]

It was just valid parenthesis. U should prolly just do as many Leetcode easies and mediums as possible

[verbal haven]

alr ty

congrats!

[oblique sky]

I think the behavioral part matters more than technical for Amazon. An advice I received was to try to talk the whole time. Thru the technical too by explaining ur process. Maybe u know that already but the behavioral can be difficult if ur not prepped with the LPs

[still comet]

you can literally get anything relating to leadership principles

[glossy narwhal]

ive never heard of it

[oblique sky]

yeah they didnt ask me that either

[topaz lake]

Amazon usually asks questions that makes you answer while using stories

[oblique sky]

yeah u should expect those kinds of problems. one question i remember is "how did you make a short term sacrifice for a long term gain"

and i think i was asked a conflict resolution question before that

[oblique sky]

Yes but u can find answers in unexpected places. Like an early disagreement with a partner on what framework to use or data structure on a project. And u can expand on it even if it wasn’t that serious of a conflict

By talking ab what steps u took to resolve it, etc

Gl to all of u
