If I had multiple rounds with both technical and behavioral questions, how can I identify the bar raiser round?

[pastel niche]

did u have any experienced person there?

like 10ish years at amazon

that’s how u know it’s the bar raiser

[compact light]

First interviewer more seasoned at zon, I believe

That round went really well

[pastel niche]

bar raisers usually aren’t expected to ask technicals but

whoever is has been the longest there can be the bar raiser

I actually just checked

About the same yoe for interview 1 and 2

SDM

My interview was for AWS specifically also

All interviewers were from AWS

can I dm @pastel niche ?

[pastel niche]

sure

[pastel niche]

oh okay yeah even i had aws… i think aws is hiring a lot

[calm perch]

can you share if your lc's were tagged?

Round 1: 30mins LP & 30mins LC - LC in Amazon top 3
Round 2: 20mins LP & LC - sliding window- not in tagged, but easy
Round 3- 20mins LP & LLD

what was the LLD about ? congrats!

[rich cobalt]

how was your OA? I just got an OA for AWS DynamoDB

[compact light]

Thank you. It was about designing an API that calls something, but the interviewer walked through it with me, telling me the attributes and how many classes and functions he wanted me to write

Then he threw questions in there like, okay you have 2 classes that has 3 similar attributes what would you do - create an abstract class

You have a class, that has similar method implementation, what would you do - create an interface..

So, it was more about structing classes and seeing how I would approach a question together

I did it back in January. The first question went well—I just used a HashMap. The second one was more difficult. I only passed about 30% of the test cases with the optimized approach. However, I had a brute-force approach, but the IDE didn’t accept it.

Hi, can you go into more depth? What details do they give you to make the classes and functions? Also, how would you prepare for this?

[compact light]

Okay, so like. Imagine you are making an animal class. The interviewer was like animal would have name, weight, lifespan.

Then he asked me to write the class. Then he was like okay, I want you to write x function that moves an animal

I wrote it, then he would be like make it return y instead

Nothing too crazy

I honestly just practiced the pizza question that everyone talks about. I would say learn OOP principles, access modifiers, when to use abstract classes vs interface..

So, I would say: read and understand which OOP principles to use, when and why, and also practice writing and implementing a few classes — that way, you’ll identify what you struggle with while doing it

[pure birch]

I suppose if you're using python you need to use @abstractmethod and theres nothing as specific as interface lol

[compact light]

Yeahh, I use Java

[polar wasp]

Thanks so much! Doesnt seem too bad of a process, I just wasn't sure what to expect. Do you happen to have any example questions that you ran through right before taking this? I am aware of the Pizza and the Parking Lot questions, but not exactly what we have to do for either of them.

[compact light]

Hey, I’ll send you a dm

[topaz yew]

hey, just curious if i could also get some of the questions you ran through right before taking the interviews

[pure birch]

Would be interested in that myself!

[compact light]

Hey, I got LC premium and did the first 20 questions

Then I did the popular pizza question and did a mock for lld with a developer- he asked tic tac toe

[topaz yew]

ahhh okay tyty

[topaz yew]

first 20 most request in the past 20 days?
