Hello , when did you completed the OA / Location Survey ?

[exotic heart]

I completed the OA on Feb 7th, I just did the location survey on Friday, May 23rd

[barren spindle]

bro where is my location survey, mfers just gave me interview

what email did u get the location survey from

[tribal dune]

not everyone gets location survey. if u dont get it, they just go by the locations u put when u applied

[barren spindle]

what if I update my profile after applying with locations, do they consider that or the ones when I appleid

[tribal dune]

prob when u applied

[barren spindle]

F

idek what I put when I applied

hopefully not WA

There's a bunch of reddit posts out there

But basically

expect 3 types of questions:

LLD

LC

Behavioral + LP

You will probably have a mixed behavioral + LLD, pure LC, and then pure behavioral round

Not guaranteed but thats what I've seen most often

I would highly recommend mock interview on some platform or with an Amazon engineer you know

[lavish vault]

Your ass is going to Seattle 💀

[grim comet]

Different roles, different processes

Not everyone got loc preference survey, or recruiters

[exotic heart]

Preciate it, I have about 2 weeks to study so imma try n take the most advantage. I’m not like cracked at LC so imma def focus on that

[grim comet]

LC is not even most imp for them, LP is the one most deciding factor

[soft edge]

yeah behavioral is most important

which is why I emphasize mock interview

you don't know what they want but someone else who's been there definitely knows

[grim comet]

And for LC it's totally depends on ur panel, who's gonna cook u

[soft edge]

also don't be me and spend too much on one type of question

like actually study LLD, LC, behavioral + LP relatively equally

[soft edge]

do amazon tagged for LC ig

although tbh they can ask anything

but typically on the easier side

[grim comet]

Tagged is enough, if u lucky u will get one from that

unlike m

[soft edge]

I got house robber lmfao

[grim comet]

I got LC hard only 1 tagged

[exotic heart]

Ye some of my friends either got sum really easy questions or acc hard questions like building a trie ds

But I fully plan on studying everything equally

Thx for the advice, my friends gave me some tips for the behavioral so imma make scenarios for each of the LPs and practice those

[barren spindle]

pls god not seattle T_T

lwk pls god one offer first

[barren spindle]

how should I go about the LP rounds? I thought I did well on LP last time I interviewed with them but still got rejected (did bad on one of the techs)

[grim comet]

See that thing no one knows, there will be always human bias, but try to convince them ur story based on lps

Do not repeat stories, they discuss before making decision

[soft edge]

^ I think this depends

I was verbally told it was ok to repeat

[grim comet]

I mean upto you, but better if u have extra stories lined up

And it should sound legit

That would be better

[feral flower]

which LPs would u guys suggest focusing on

[barren spindle]

each behavioral question is trying to test some selected LPs, so it depends on the question

sometimes it is clear that the question wants you to focus on "obsessed with client" so it helps to focus on that

[soft edge]

Up to you to figure out which question maps to what LP

Sometimes the followups try to nudge you towards it

[topaz pewter]

Any recommendations on which topics/questions i can focus for LC? Very much worried. Have interview in next couple of days 😦

Amazon Tagged on Leetcode

[modern merlin]

Do yall have any good OOD resources? Videos etc

[soft edge]

I think there was some github repo

[molten chasm]

what questions should you study for the LLD round

[soft edge]

someone posted this on reddit

I believe there are other problems common to amazon like "design a pizza"

[magic junco]

Did anybody have a recruiter reachout after the availability survey for confirming the interview details? Does that mean the interview is for a specific team?

[deep abyss]

Total timeline?

[wheat forum]

Yes I think so, I have a similar experience

[magic junco]

Are you done with your interview?

[wheat forum]

No I have one coming up this week

[magic junco]

Which team are you interviewing for?

[wheat forum]

Amazon stores , it is some new unit which handles shien like products

What about you ?

[barren spindle]

How dyk what team is it? Did they tell you beforehand?
I thought you first pass the interview and then get matched

[wheat forum]

The role is sde -2 in my case , I got reached out by recruiter
