[dim geode]

lmk if theres any other qs?

[tawdry basalt]

How long was your final interview?

[dim geode]

45 mins

[burnt nova]

What does LP stand for?

[dull fiber]

Leadership Principles

Amazon has a ton of them

[sterile star]

pog

[runic furnace]

how much time did you get for the technical question?

[dim geode]

like 35 mins iirc

[meager venture]

this is for sde right?

[dim geode]

Yes

[winter spindle]

any general advice for LP questions? were they pretty self explanatory or did you really have to reach for em

[dim geode]

tbh I thought I botched them, Id make sure to do some behavioral prep b4 interview no just LC

[winter spindle]

cool cool, sounds good

[upbeat meteor]

did the final LC have autocomplete in the editor?

[dim geode]

No autocomplete can’t run code either

[upbeat meteor]

oh ok, syntax highlighting at least?

[dim geode]

Yeah it has that iirc

But it’s pretty basic

[upbeat meteor]

cool thnx

[covert crown]

what was your process in preparing for this

/ what was ur overall leetcode count

[dim geode]

Grind question list on LC also prepped the locker design q

[dim geode]

When I did interview it was ~130

[covert crown]

did you use the LC bot in the discord at all for most common questions or naw

[dim geode]

No just bought LC prem

[covert crown]

ah true

aii mine is tomorrow lowkey hella nervous, shoulda done way more LC than I have lmaooo

[dim geode]

nah I was honestly over prepped LC wise for mine, ended up finishing the q in like 10 mins

just look at LP

and locker design q, or some of the trickier stuff they can ask

[covert crown]

dope, thanks fam

is it necessary to look at LP before OA 1 is done?

or just keep practicing amazon tagged lc

[dim geode]

Keep grinding LC

Look at LP day b4 oa 2

[covert crown]

preciate the advice big time my man, congrats on the offer

I'll catch u on the slack when I'm in

[thorn shoal]

do it do it do it do it do it

[jade oar]

what does it mean when it says i am moved to another job on amazon portal?

[dim geode]

Yo it’s 99% u got the job

Congrats

[jade oar]

Ty!!

[mighty gull]

congrats! were ur questions lc tagged?

[jade oar]

No. It was an OOD

[mighty gull]

oo wow, was it available anywhere online?

[runic furnace]

was it more like "design Amazon lockers" or one of those questions like lru cache

have heard of both in Amazon interviews

[jade oar]

i dont think so, it was very specific

[jade oar]

more like lru

not very difficult to do but the followed-up optimization is tricky

[meager venture]

and this is for sde intern?

rip me, im so bad with design questions

[jade oar]

ye

[jade oar]

was ez tho

[meager venture]

dont have the confident, time to grind this weekend

[meager venture]

should I practice LP for the final? or its only LC

[jade oar]

absolutely

i put more effort in the behavioral questions imo

durin the interview

[meager venture]

hmmmm, and everything is done in 45 mins?

[jade oar]

not exactly we ended up taking like 50ish mins but not longer

i didnt even finish my coding lol

[meager venture]

and you still got the offer

let's hope my interviewer likes me

[jade oar]

i talked with him how i would do it tho just didnt hav the time to implement

[meager venture]

okay, at least I'm decent with coming up with implementation, just ass when it comes to actual coding

[jade oar]

that might work well too

[mighty gull]

Just got the oa for part 1 😭

Any advice?

[meager venture]

amazon tagged LC

[mighty gull]

arent there like 1000 amazon tagged LC?

[meager venture]

just sort by frequency and go from there

[mortal girder]

My interviewer wasn't from America, he was based in Singapore or China or something. I applied for the Seattle position though. Is that common/expected?

[jade oar]

Is it for intern? If so you can go from easy/med qs first

[jade oar]

same my interviewer was from China. really nice guy. liked him

[mighty gull]

yea intern

[mighty gull]

what type of question? howd it go?

[mortal girder]

yo we might have the same guy? he was really nice too

[mortal girder]

just typical 2 LP and 1 medium LC, finished the medium LC and he gave me a bonus LC hard to just talk it thru

[jade oar]

the guy from the tax team?

[mortal girder]

hm i forgot which team he was on rip

[meager venture]

im afraid of getting a bad interviewer lol

[mighty gull]

hopefully you dont @meager venture

is ur interview today?

[meager venture]

next Wednesday

[mighty gull]

when ppl say do leetcode tagged

is that top amazon questions?

on premium list

[jade oar]

ye

[meager venture]

when you go to problem list, you can search for the tag

[mighty gull]

wdym?

it just on the side bar

[meager venture]

the one on the side only shows 50 question i think

[mighty gull]

i c i c

so is searching the tagged what i should do to prep for intern oa + final?

[meager venture]

for oa yea, final wise im going over some basic data strictures and some algo and few LC medium problem per day

and I'm gonna go over LP the day before

[runic furnace]

I can do alright with the most common lc mediums (blind 75 ones and those with similar patterns) but there are just sooo many other random lc mediums, all with unique tricks hard to come up with in an interview 😭

so here's hoping my interviewer pulls out a normal question

[mighty gull]

just got rejected after oa1

big sad, hopefully i can be resurrected

[spring eagle]

u got it next year bro

[mighty gull]

next year is new grad😅

[meager venture]

dw man plenty of other good companies are out there that will take you, believed in yourself

[oak pivot]

what editor does amazon use for the final interview?

[runic furnace]

pretty sure it's something internal to them

you get syntax highlighting but nothing else

[oak pivot]

oh so nothing like coderpad then?

[quaint acorn]

Hey sorry to hear that. What were the questions like?

[meager venture]

for oa its pretty rng

even for final its rng lol

[dim geode]

if it's the 2 part oa expect and LC Easy and LC med/hard

[quaint acorn]

Everybody gets different questions, right? Someone told me they got a kruskal's mst problem, but I dunno if I wanna relearn that disjoint sets shit again lol

[meager venture]

my was lc easy + lc easy medium that can be solve by brute force

[quaint acorn]

Oooh juicy

Please please please give me 2sum

This would also be good

[spring eagle]

kruskals KEK

[quaint acorn]

Whatchu mean by that?

[spring eagle]

just pain

[quaint acorn]

Lol yeah

[mighty gull]

lc med and lc hard

[spring eagle]

wait i just realized

oa2 is guaranteed after oa1

LOL

[mighty gull]

nope

i got denied this morning

[spring eagle]

for aws or regular

[mighty gull]

regular

[spring eagle]

interesting

pretty sure its automated

[meager venture]

nah you need certain score for oa1 to get oa2 im pretty sure

but once u pass that score u automatically get oa2

[covert kayak]

do u think if i passed all test case for at least 1 q id get oa2

[meager venture]

i think someone said 1 question + some TC for the other?

i could be wrong tho

[covert kayak]

i actually got oa2 in literally a little more than 1 hr after i completed oa1

[covert kayak]

yea thats what i had

[meager venture]

man im scare of this final

[meager venture]

Never used live code before, can anyone fill me on how it works?

Do we just code our implementation or is there test cases we need to passed?

[oak pivot]

i believe you cant run your code so its just coding your implementation

someone said only syntax errors gets highlighted and basically like google docs

[meager venture]

okay, so there is a run/debugged function, cuz I'm worry that we have to test our code manually

[oak pivot]

cant run your code** and yea basically test manually

[meager venture]

oh mb

the anxiety already get to me

[quaint acorn]

Anyone have advice for amazon OA 2("work simulation and workstyles assessments")?

[quaint acorn]

Good luck!

[covert kayak]

+1

also how much time do we have before we need to complete OA 2

[quaint acorn]

For me it says the deadline is 5 days after receiving the notice for OA 2

[covert kayak]

Ah yea, i see that now. thanks !

[quaint acorn]

Sure!

Time to study the hell out of those LPs

[lofty light]

just got the OA 1, any advice on that

haven't done much lc this year either which is fucking dumb but that's my life

[thorn shoal]

pray to the RNG gods

[lofty light]

that sounds bad

[meager venture]

join me

On the journey of praying rng god

[covert kayak]

lol i barely did any lc and was still able to continue to oa2. im p sure i got an easy and easy/med

[meager venture]

I only did like 20 mediums

And I’m on final

[covert kayak]

you got this

[meager venture]

rng be on my side

A nice interviewer that will help me

The only thing I ask for this year

[covert kayak]

[lofty light]

I heard people got fucking hards on the OA

I'm terrified

does the first OA require video

it said so in the email I just got

[meager venture]

For oa1 all u need is solve 1 question + few TC for the next

[lofty light]

what's tc

[meager venture]

Test cases

[lofty light]

okay let's pray

I gotta focus on fb first tho

[meager venture]

It’s pretty rng

[lofty light]

I have that in 2 days

[meager venture]

Gl

[lofty light]

appreciate man

[quaint acorn]

Hey can you give advice on OA 2?

[quaint acorn]

There are a lot of leetcode techniques to know, but I guess the #1 thing is make sure you know how to use hash tables to optimize algorithms

[lofty light]

is the idea for that not just to always use hash tables lol

[meager venture]

Think of their lp when u answer their qt

See if the answer u choose can explain by a lp principle

[meager venture]

3 more hours till me interview

if yall dont heard from me after that prob mean i bombed it

[runic furnace]

you got this

the intimidation disappears once you're there and talking

[desert kiln]

what were your oa1s like?

highkey scared cuz yall saying rng

[meager venture]

i mean just 2 lc question

but random difficulty

i got 1 easy and 1 easy medium

[dull fiber]

remember

if you have no idea what to do

throw a hashmap at it

6/10 times it works

[meager venture]

i think i might be fine coming up with a solution

but optimizing it gonna kill me

[dull fiber]

optimization is always the scariest part

your interviewer is trying to give you hints and you're sitting there like

[meager venture]

literally me during mock interview

"what if we have a variable that does x..."

[dull fiber]

thankfully my interviewer was late to the first round so my interview ended before the optimization part

[meager venture]

me: "wtf does that do"

[dull fiber]

lmao

[meager venture]

"im sorry can you repeat that"

[dull fiber]

"What if instead of a hashma-"
me:

[meager venture]

"but all i know is hashmap "

[desert kiln]

🥲

do you think the problems outlined in algomonster helped?

like these:https://algo.monster/problems/amazon_online_assessment_questions

[thorn shoal]

meh theyre the same problems from amazon tagged problems on leetcode

it's RNG as far as we know

[meager venture]

reporting back in

it went pretty well

casual friendly convo

[dull fiber]

poggers

how was the LC @meager venture

[meager venture]

LC was medium

Array/String

[dull fiber]

any optimizations or did they like it as is?

[meager venture]

i optimized my brute force to a better solution

but couldnt get the best solution

[dull fiber]

still

good stuff

[meager venture]

[dull fiber]

praying for that offer

[meager venture]

gl to you guys as well

[dull fiber]

ty

[meager venture]

Quick question, do u see ur status on portal before email?

For both rejection and offer?

[spring eagle]

yep

portal will update 1 day before hand

[meager venture]

[thorn shoal]

RNG is random number generator

oa1 is not recorded

neither oa's are

[dull fiber]

^

[quaint acorn]

Random RNG = new Random();
int randomNum = RNG.nextInt();

[runic furnace]

of everything Amazon related

[thorn shoal]

^

[meager venture]

Yeah I just saw bunch of ppl say they have decent interview but end up getting rejected, and now I’m all nervous again

[runic furnace]

it's like they flip a coin 3 times to decide who to hire, with a few extra steps

[quaint acorn]

What exactly do they mean by "decent interview"

[meager venture]

idk, on like the post they just said the interview process is good

which i guess i feel the same way

my interview was super chill and we didn't have that awkward silence, but I did misinterpret one of the LP question, but fixed it and end up giving an answer his looking for

this is all i can said, and I'll keep you guys updated when the result comes out for me

[quaint acorn]

What are the LP questions like?

[meager venture]

1 is about go out of ur way to help a peer/teammate

other one is bias of action

something about taking risk

[runic furnace]

welp, Amazon dropped the rejection on me at precisely 12:01 am lol

on to the next opportunity

[meager venture]

damn wtf

didnt ur interview went well?

[runic furnace]

eh, it was alright

my interviewer didn't seem disappointed, but he didn't seem impressed either

[meager venture]

fuck man, i think it was the same with mine

im sorry but you def gonna get the next one👑

[runic furnace]

thanks and hope you get the offer

hoping code for good comes through for me

[meager venture]

really hope so man, the only company that got back to me

before you go just one last question, how was the vibe of ur interview, I wanna know if its the same with mine

[runic furnace]

kinda felt awkward tbh

awkward is the best way to describe it

[meager venture]

like its just back and forth?

[runic furnace]

he was stopping me in the middle of my lp story to ask questions. this may have been what did me in honestly, my answer was ramble-y but did work in lp's

[meager venture]

damn, my I think my interviewer did the same but after my story

I only talk about STA but not R

[runic furnace]

also he asked his follow up then cut me off right after I started answering saying times over, and there was an awkward interaction when I asked him a question at the end on what he thought the most important trait for an intern was

don't overthink it too much, you're still in it!

[meager venture]

ty, and keep ur head up man

u got this shit

praying for both of us

[runic furnace]

thanks man 🙏

[quaint acorn]

Hey I saw you in the Nicholas T discord server lol

[meager venture]

Yea prolly

[forest pine]

Thanks bro

[meager venture]

any updates?

[wary mirage]

How fast does Amazon reject people

Just bombed the final

💩

[spring eagle]

how it go

[thorn shoal]

kaboom

[wary mirage]

😂bombed

Wasn’t able to code up a solution

Just gave a plan and notes and incomplete code

And it was an LC medium but asked in a super vague way

🥲

[spring eagle]

pain

[meager venture]

@wary mirage how’s ur lp tho?

[wary mirage]

I think I did great with LP honestly

And it went downhill from there

🥲

[covert kayak]

how do i prep lp for oa2

[wary mirage]

honestly idk...it was like a personality/behavioral test.

I guess just remember to follow LP (customer first, and be willing to work overtime to meet deadlines lol)

[covert kayak]

thanks!

[covert kayak]

we have to read some code right (java?) how bad is that

[wary mirage]

idk java and i totally winged it

[covert kayak]

nice 🙂

last time i looked at java was in hs hah

[quaint acorn]

What is "locker design q"?

[dim geode]

https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/system-design/233869/Design-Amazon-Locker-system

googling amazon locker design also has examples

[quaint acorn]

What is "Grinder question list"?

[quaint acorn]

Thanks

[dim geode]

mb typo just meant grind amazon tagged on LC lol

[quaint acorn]

Oh ok lol

I'm also a simp for Neetcode btw

[spring eagle]

.

what happened to the thread

[meager venture]

It’s pretty much Amazon channel lol

And here is my daily prayer

[desert kiln]

it's a ritual

[lofty light]

aight so we absolutely dubbed the first OA

all test cases correct in 17 mins

[lofty light]

I got the OA 2, how do I prep for this

[quaint acorn]

@dim geode How did you prepare for OA 2?

[dim geode]

Read LPs

[quaint acorn]

That's all? Do you just answer the questions in the OA by basically picking which one most cloesly adheres to the LPs?

[dim geode]

Yep it’s all multiple choice

[quaint acorn]

Thanks!

[quaint acorn]

Is it pretty straightforward?

[dim geode]

Yep!

[lofty light]

how long does it take? and is it really just "have the LPs open in another window and answer according to them as much as possible"

[quaint acorn]

@dim geode ^?

[dim geode]

@quaint acorn took me 45 mins and just have LPs open

[lofty light]

aight bet

might do that tomorrow lol

I just get nervous cause I feel like it can't be that easy can it

[quaint acorn]

@dim geode Is it? ^

[dim geode]

yeah I found it easy tbh

don't overthink

[lofty light]

bruh the questions be like "if there is a problem at 2 am do you a) don't sleep until it's fixed and the customer is happy or b) sleep like the soulless wench you are" and I'd still be confuzzled

[meager venture]

daily prayer

[quaint acorn]

@dim geode How long did it take for you to hear back after finishing OA 2?

[dim geode]

Full process at top of thread

[quaint acorn]

So it took 12 days?

[dim geode]

Ye

[meager venture]

for me full 2 weeks just for comparison

[quaint acorn]

Thanks guys

[meager venture]

does amazon rejection send email right away or the portal changes then email?

[grand jolt]

for final sde interview, does the code we write have to be compiled / ran

or it is just basically a glorified google docs

[runic furnace]

my rejection happened basically same time

[quaint acorn]

I'm wondering if, after the interview, the grader will actually compile and run the code against test cases

[meager venture]

U need it to take a picture

Gl man

Hope rng is on ur side

And here is my daily prayer

[quaint acorn]

Good luck fellow internship hunter

Is facebook your dream company?

Haha

[meager venture]

Does getting the survey means decision is coming out?

Not the UT survey but the survey for in person interview

[tame moss]

i hope so

had a heart attack when i saw that email come through and then realized it was for feedback 😩

[wary mirage]

wow yes

yes

my friend got the survey and checked the portal

I haven't even got the UT survey yet

guess i'll wait a few more days...

guess 4 business days for portal change 5 business days for offer

[forest pine]

I hope you will get it mate

[wary mirage]

ty!

[forest pine]

Last Thursday I gave my 2nd round

its under review since friday

[wary mirage]

Took me a week to hear back

[forest pine]

Cool bro

[desert kiln]

1-2 days

basically automated

[wary mirage]

you will probably get an email from the recruiter asking for the photo of your ID lol

[wary mirage]

My portal updated....

to Irvine...

omg

🍌

guys check your portal

[meager venture]

Let’s goooooo

Nyc

[covert kayak]

Good shit

[spring eagle]

anyone else get nyc?

[covert kayak]

also, my application changed to under review after oa2. how long does it take to hear back after oa2

[meager venture]

For me 2 full weeks

[covert kayak]

jeez

so long 🥲

i assume final interview isnt guaranteed after oa2 right

[meager venture]

No, but if U don’t get rejected within 3 days I would say ur usually good

[covert kayak]

[wary mirage]

Congrats man!!

🍌

[meager venture]

All the daily prayer payout

[abstract prism]

[meager venture]

i think someone that interview same day as me didnt get portal changed

daily prayer for yall

[meager venture]

btw does anyone have the amazon intern discord link?

[upbeat kraken]

What are the chances of getting a final offer if the status on the job portal says 'Moved to a different job'? The location on the new job is Seattle.

[spring eagle]

pretty much guarenteed

[lofty light]

[tiny bramble]

did you guys have to prepare a lot for the LP aspect of the final interview

[quaint acorn]

^yeah how did you guys prepare for the LP portion?

Of the final interview

[jade oar]

[tiny bramble]

https://discord.gg/AvauWpJ3

[jade oar]

Ty!

[wary mirage]

@meager venture have you received the official offer letter yet?

I am still waiting

[meager venture]

yea no official offer yet

[wary mirage]

[forest pine]

Any update for people who complete OA 2 last week I gave my OA 2 on wednesday

[tame moss]

i got my offer letter at around 3:30pm EST

[grand nebula]

any tips for OA 2? the work simulation

[covert crown]

yo do ya'll think i should ask for an update

i did my OA 2 like two weeks ago on saturday night

no rejection email

[meager venture]

i guess wait till the monday

[desert kiln]

basically

[quaint acorn]

I wish there were, tbh I kinda just reviewed the LPs and wung it lol

But I haven't been told if I failed/passed yet, so you probably shouldn't listen to me lol

[quaint acorn]

Nah I took it like 2 nights ago

Some people are saying it takes roughlt 2 weeks to hear back after OA 2

[desert kiln]

i will lead us today

[quaint acorn]

Damn I didn't make it past OA 2 lol

[covert kayak]

ohh shit man 😔

[quaint acorn]

I guess my LeetCode skills are pog but my LP are not pog rip

At least Amazon isn't my dream company, but I wanna get accustomed to the feeling of failure

[covert kayak]

keep your head up, u got this

[quaint acorn]

Thanks so much!

[covert kayak]

[covert kayak]

if you dont mind me asking, did you find out via email

I also took oa 2 v recently

[quaint acorn]

Yeah

[meager venture]

daily prayer

[thorn shoal]

[wary mirage]

Anyone's portal status went from "offer accepted" to "review offer" after you accepted the offer...

?

and I still have not received the surveys yet

[forest pine]

You have many companies to go mate don’t worry amazon told you that you have some areas to work out with. Now you got it all the best you will be good 👍

[coral tusk]

I finished all 3 parts over a month ago but I haven't heard back. My application status still says "under consideration" . Should I be worried?

[quaint acorn]

Thanks man

[wary mirage]

nvm just changed back to "offer accepted"

[covert crown]

Yo what lp questions did they ask

[spring eagle]

study em all

i didn't even get asked lps

[covert crown]

any behavioural? or just striaght LC

[spring eagle]

i had 3 LCs bro

LOL

[desert kiln]

So they ask u more if u solve one?

What about optimizing the current solution?

[spring eagle]

i mean

he gave me 1

i optimized and solved

then was like

have another

kinda weirdchamp

the first one i choked a bit but pulled thru

[meager venture]

prod think they doing a similar 3x45 lol

[abstract prism]

@meager venture did you get offer letter yet?

[meager venture]

yea we all got it yesterday, any update on the decision?

[abstract prism]

i got moved to another job

[meager venture]

nice

[abstract prism]

but no offer letter yet

[meager venture]

portal changed today?

[abstract prism]

yesterday

[meager venture]

check ur portal once in a while

i think that updates first before offer email

[abstract prism]

ok thanks

[meager venture]

and congrats

🍌 gang

[desert kiln]

wait for those of you who got an offer, how many q's did you solve?

i thought if u solve 1 and get optimal, it was considered "good"

[meager venture]

i was only giving 1

but some got 3

[desert kiln]

So behavioral plays a huge factor then?

Unless the lc was easy so ppl got 3 Q’s?

[meager venture]

i would say LP is pretty important

[tame moss]

i got 2 easy questions

and 2 LPs

[meager venture]

idk, everything is just rng

[desert kiln]

Well u know what that means

[covert kayak]

[coral tusk]

Has anyone else been ghosted for over a month?

[forest inlet]

ya it took a month for me to get oa1 i think

[coral tusk]

yeah but i finished oa1 and oa2 but never heard back

never got rejected either

[forest inlet]

thats definitely a good sign

ppl who got reject after oa2 got it within 24 hours

to like 3 days

just keep waiting

[covert kayak]

?? legit

[forest inlet]

theyre probably dealing with a massive number of ppl rn

well, for amz canada its within 24 hours

ive heard amz US is within 3 days

[covert kayak]

i see i see. i took my oa2 on saturday and still havent heard back 🤞

[forest inlet]

business days/hours btw

[covert kayak]

🥲

[forest inlet]

so i think tomorrow u shall be safe?

idk

[covert kayak]

everything bout amazon seems rng

[wary mirage]

do we get a confirmation email after filling out the start date survey?

lowkey afraid I might have put the wrong primary email 😂

[desert kiln]

dwdw there's only one thing you can do at this point as you wait

[covert crown]

yo is this confirmed

casue ur boy's been waiting after OA 2 since sept 12

[forest inlet]

Yeah I waited 2 weeks dw jus keep waiting

[tiny bramble]

applied to canada

got invite after exactly 2 weeks

[grand jolt]

How long did you have to accept your offer?

[spring eagle]

i had about 3 weeks

[dim geode]

2 weeks

[grand jolt]

did you guys find out in your offer letter what team you're on and what location?

[desert kiln]

wait also how do you get assigned into teams?

do they ask during the final?

[grand jolt]

I wasn’t asked anything about team preference in my final

[spring eagle]

team is rng

[meager venture]

do we find out the day we go in?

[upbeat meteor]

A month before start day

[forest pine]

Hey Guys got an email saying that I have my final round soon (survey will come) received email today morning here starts my daily prayer

[open imp]

Add reaction to this message if you got oop or system design in your amazon final

Or just dm me

[forest pine]

👍

[open imp]

that message is directed at people whove taken the final

[desert kiln]

i thought it was just 2 lp and 1-2 lc?

[open imp]

No, they could ask sys design and/or oop @desert kiln

but they usually ask lc

[thorn shoal]

daily prayer

[meager venture]

depends on the interviewer

everything about amazon is rng

[desert kiln]

wtf

welp

lemme do 2 just in case

[meager venture]

i would say just study LRU cache and locker design just in case

it shouldn't be a too difficult ood

[thorn shoal]

hourly prayer

[meager venture]

damn my man went from daily to hourly

[desert kiln]

uh what is that

[meager venture]

https://leetcode.com/problems/lru-cache/

and for locker design just google amazon locker design question

[desert kiln]

ok tyty

[meager venture]

at least understand the concept

[desert kiln]

so there might be a possibility they ask you ood instead of lc?

or both?

[meager venture]

everything is possible

[desert kiln]

[meager venture]

Yea

[covert crown]

man the locker design question looks kinda rough no lie

[meager venture]

yea

all you could do it pray that u dont get it

[desert kiln]

wait but has anyone got a ood design during final

[meager venture]

Yea some of the earlier ppl got it

[spring eagle]

my friend irl had one

[desert kiln]

sheesh

at this point id rather take lc

[spring eagle]

let ‘em know when they give u ood @desert kiln

[desert kiln]

[covert kayak]

been a week since I took oa2.. y'all think I would've been rejected by now if they wanted to reject me

[open imp]

amazon is rng

[forest pine]

I don’t think something bad. you are good may be you have less score in oa2 above their threshold but more competitive candidates have more scores they will reach out to you in some time

[desert kiln]

[thorn shoal]

[meager venture]

its not over until its over

[tiny bramble]

exactly

[meager venture]

i know a lot of ppl got their offer at the last day

[lofty light]

I'm under review lol

according to my portal

I also went in through referral and absolutely smashed oa1

[desert kiln]

[lofty light]

so I am praying

[meager venture]

my portal changed at like 10 pm

[lofty light]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/804409444741939200.png?size=96&size=40

[meager venture]

[desert kiln]

[lofty light]

what's the final like for interns

[meager venture]

yea mine came 2 full weeks

[desert kiln]

sheesh why 2 weeks tho

[desert kiln]

2 lp, 1-3 lc

but rng

[tiny bramble]

@meager venture btw sorry if you answered this somewhere already

but what were your LPs like?

[covert kayak]

[meager venture]

"a time u went out of ur way to help a peer/teammate"

[lofty light]

in 45 minutes??

[desert kiln]

yeah

[meager venture]

"a risk u took"

thats the 2 question i got

[lofty light]

oh are the lps just behavioral

[tiny bramble]

i see, thanks

[meager venture]

yea, but u gotta connected them to the principles

pretty much just find out what they are looking for

[lofty light]

ah bet bet

I have 2 stories I mold to fit various situations

but I just gotta remember to add the LPs I guess

how bad are the LCs? is ood an option

[desert kiln]

yes

[lofty light]

for intern? fuck

[desert kiln]

honestly rng

[lofty light]

bruh how do you prep for this

[desert kiln]

start

[lofty light]

my week this week is pure hell

2 midterms, 2 programming and an assignment

[desert kiln]

jeez

r u okay?

[lofty light]

lmao no

[desert kiln]

do you need help

[lofty light]

yes

[desert kiln]

[lofty light]

I need someone to give me the answers to the LCs as I work on them

is the locker question the only ood

I can just look that one up right

[desert kiln]

bruh the locker question is so complicated tho

no way we finish that in 30 mins

a friend i know who took it got an ood and said it was easy apparently... so idk...

[meager venture]

Yea just pray u don’t get locker design

[lofty light]

ig it's just how much we get done?

[desert kiln]

try to get optimal

[lofty light]

one of my friends just got subtree sum

or smth

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/maximum-average-of-subtree-values-in-a-given-binary-tree/

[desert kiln]

jeez

lc hard

[lofty light]

is that a fucking hard??

[desert kiln]

it says on geeks4geeks so

[lofty light]

fuuuuuck

[desert kiln]

anyone have lc premium? https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-average-subtree/

i cant view 😦 im broke

[lofty light]

also broke

prob can just look it up tho

[desert kiln]

yeah

someone got find kth element in bst

[lofty light]

uh for that you would

find size of left and size of right

[desert kiln]

uh

[lofty light]

and then recursively call on relevant subtree?

[desert kiln]

in order traversal while storing in array, then return the arr[k]

for nonoptimal

[lofty light]

I believe I said something close to optimal

I think mine is... nlog n

[desert kiln]

https://leetcode.com/problems/kth-smallest-element-in-a-bst/

[lofty light]

eh

not optimal

[desert kiln]

hope for 2sum

[lofty light]

they ask 2sum? are you fucking kidding

goddamn my entire life

with my luck I'm gonna get a hard and they're gonna give 2sum to all my friends

[spring eagle]

most interviewers dont really care about going overtime

at least from what ive seen/heard

they just ask what they want to ask

and expect u to do it

[lofty light]

I am so terrified

I just want to be done with this process and have an offer

[desert kiln]

wait for "taking a risk" what lps are they looking for?

[meager venture]

bias of action

[desert kiln]

ah it literally says "risk taking"

what if i never take risks 👀

[meager venture]

just bs it like i did

[desert kiln]

it doesnt have to be tech related right?

[meager venture]

i said i took a risk in term of sacrificing UI for functionality

and it works out in the long term

yea it doesnt have to be tech related

[desert kiln]

ah hm dont mind me, imma swoop in a take that idea

[meager venture]

but prob better if its something with software dev

cuz my interview designs company UI for amazon so he seems like he could relate to the thing i said

[forest inlet]

When does Amazon update portal after a Monday evening interview (EST)

[forest pine]

With in 5 business day @forest inlet

ie friday or by monday

at max

[meager venture]

how is it

[proven hedge]

My portal has said “under review” since my final last Wednesday - what could the portal potentially change to?

[meager venture]

is it chang to "move to another job" that mean u got the offer

[proven hedge]

If it doesn’t change is that reject?

[static gate]

I had final today as well, I heard it updates wednesday or thursday (forgot which one tho )

[forest inlet]

nice ok hopefully it updates wednesday

[mossy cape]

does anyone has the final last week receive the result?

[forest pine]

Hey guys after receiving the survey does the dates change based on opening time or those are fixed ones?

for amazon final interview scheduling that I am asking

[desert kiln]

also

[forest pine]

Yes finished last week

[desert kiln]

and you got a final invite today?

[forest pine]

I gave my 0A 2 on 16 sep and received that I will get survey soon on friday 24 and got survey today

[desert kiln]

[grand nebula]

[meager venture]

[meager venture]

Rng

[grand nebula]

[mossy cape]

you may wait for 1-3days

[grand nebula]

👍

[kindred quiver]

do amazon portal updates generally come on a specific day of the week or are they normally 4 days after your interview?

[mossy cape]

usually on Mon or Wed

[tiny bramble]

my final interview lc was the question i failed from OA1

[open imp]

twas a planned attack

[forest inlet]

LMFAO

ripp

[tiny bramble]

i flunked LC but i think i did relatively well on LP

[forest inlet]

🙏

[desert kiln]

[forest pine]

[covert kayak]

got email to schedule final round interview 1 week and 3 days from oa2

[forest pine]

[forest inlet]

portal should update tonight right? for the ppl who took their final on monday and tuesday?

i assume that because it seems like the ppl who take their final from wed - fri get their portal update the following monday

[meager venture]

[tiny bramble]

[desert kiln]

[covert kayak]

[forest pine]

[plucky burrow]

[upbeat kraken]

I have Greater Seattle Area

[spring eagle]

does that translate into any of their seattle offices

[upbeat kraken]

Not sure about that. It shows remote for me at the moment. We will probably have a better idea about it after December.

[spring eagle]

prayge

[mossy cape]

about two wks

[tiny bramble]

for me it was exactly 2 weeks

[tiny bramble]

oh I just got rejected

end of the line for me, thanks bros

[forest inlet]

NOO

😦

[static gate]

This was in the offer FAQ and relocation policy doc, should be the file under your offer letter

[covert kayak]

best way to prep for final?

[forest inlet]

make a story per LP

[meager venture]

Prep at least 2 story per lp

U can reuse the same story for different lp

So not like 30 something stories

[covert kayak]

alright, that sounds good. sounds like lp is really important??

[forest inlet]

for sure

[meager venture]

For the most part yea

Unless u get an interviewer that don’t give a crap, which is unlikely but possible

[forest inlet]

ya like my interviewer

god bless that man

[meager venture]

Are u taking Amazon offer or still looking?

After I bomb my Netflix oa I might just go to Amazon lol

[forest inlet]

i got few interview processes left for the summer - if i fail all of them then yeah taking amazon

[meager venture]

gl man

[forest inlet]
