just got my amazon rejection email after

[severe burrow]

What were ur LPs and tech? How do u think u did on the interview

[ocean grove]

i talked about my military experience & previous swe internship for LPs, and technicals were medium level leetcode. (technicals were all solved in optimal solutions, LPs were decent)

[rotund schooner]

Man thats so sad to hear. Have u followed up after 5th days? If so what was the response?

[ocean grove]

its fine, i am still grateful with my current offer in bay but thanks! and yes i actually sent 2 follow ups lol. never heard back from the recruiter, though.

[dusk sorrel]

this seems so good? what were the techs? did you talk through them?

[ocean grove]

yeah tbh, the technicals went very well and they all liked my walkthrough. i made sure to thoroughly go over my thought process. i think my behaviorals were slightly misaligned with LPs, idk

happy to answer any question if u have for 'zon interview so lmk! the questions i got were LRUCache (word for word the same) and some basic OOP function

[dusk sorrel]

shoot, where was this and what org? Also for LPs how exactly did they mis align?

[ocean grove]

it was one of aws infra team in seattle. they asked me a total of 5 questions for 2 interviews, so i think u r expected to answer all questions thoroughly and well aligned with the LPs

[dusk sorrel]

oh shoot im screwed.

[rotund schooner]

Man im losing hope now… my int went worse than u…

[dusk sorrel]

thats ridicoulous they expect picture perfect

[jade shadow]

Anyone got this as their follow up email response?

[dusk sorrel]

what LP's were you focusing on in yor stories?also did you use STAR?

[gaunt ravine]

Depends on the team and the candidates u r competing with for that team.

[ocean grove]

no, i think its all depdending on the recruiters so dont lose hope

[ocean grove]

there were like 16 LPs, but unfor i dont really remember exactly, and yes i did use STAR

[dusk sorrel]

I think ownership, Disagree and commit, Dive deep are some of the ones they really like in interns especially.

[dusk sorrel]

🥺

[oblique hare]

Dang that sounds like a pass to me

U think it could be headcount?

[ocean grove]

i honestly dont really know. all i know is that i remember the 2nd round recruiter raised his eyebrows when i was asnwering one of the questoins lol. you probably should be fine so best of luck!

[oblique hare]

Oh dang
