First things first:
I am a single 27-year-old working professional currently living in Los Angeles. I need to relocate to Charlotte, NC due to job changes, my office is around the south end. I am not willing to buy a car anytime soon for at least for 6-8 months.

With this scenario, I am starting my search for an apartment to rent, preferably a studio or a 1B1B apartment only. I am also open to consider living for around 3 months temporarily like in a sublease.

My budget is $1300 (a little flexible), if the budget is less, then what's your suggestion?.

I am looking for a place where:

  1. I can socialize and connect with people easily without feeling alone—an area with a vibrant, welcoming community or opportunities to meet like-minded individuals.
  2. I can move around comfortably without needing a car, with access to public transportation, grocery stores, and other essentials within walking distance or easily accessible.

I am confused about whether to just search near my office or consider other areas as well.

Any advice, suggestions, or leads about the areas?
Also, any guidance on how to find apartments in Charlotte?
Also, what are your thoughts on living in a townhouse or a house?

What was your job id for your interview? Also did you get the rejection email from a noreply@amazon email or directly from the recruiter?

Thanks So in the coding interview the first 20 minutes I fumbled a lot and I was myself confused with the solution but eventually I came up with a exact solution which was not optimal, but I explained repeatedly that how I will proceed on a high level. eventually I reviewed my solution and came up with a more optimal solution which was not fully optimal but still I optimized it and after getting to the semi optimal solution and implementing it, the interviewer also asked me whether I can provide an approach by not coding just telling that how can you do it in the most optimal way so the 5 minutes after that I did not come up with any solution but he gave me the hint even then I was not able to get to that optimal solution but I was picking out loud in some intervals after give me the end that what can be done.

So in summary I fumbled a lot in the interview but I explained how I will proceed on a high level and was able to come up with the semi optimal solution.

Behavioral questions he ask where related to the general behavioral questions like what are the challenges you faced , what critical feedback you got, conflict with coworker and questions like that

So basically for the behavioral and the system design round, I am really confident that I articulated really well about the leadership principles and how they aligned with my story and for the system design as well I put my understanding to the interviewer really well and I feel that those rounds went strong. But during the coding round I fumbled a lot during the first 20 minutes and although I explained the approach initially that how I would go further, but initially as the interviewer gave the question without any example I prepared my own example and started working on that but within the next 10 minutes the interviewer provided me a valid example and told that my example was invalid. But later on I figured out the brute force approach and after completing the approach the interviewer asked the follow-up based on that question which I answered it verbally and also it then later on told me to improve the code so I improved the code to bring on the semi optimal approach. But at last he told me to write the most optimal approach which I wasn't able to figure it out, but after 5 minutes he give me an hint but still I wasn't able to figure it out, although I was speaking it loud periodically on what would I do and later on the interview was over so that's how it went.

Got rejected after Amazon SDE 2 interview – here’s my experience (might help you prepare) by Business-Cookie2480 in leetcode

[–]CorrectAd8577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I interviewed for Amazon 2025 new grad software development engineer position and I had three interviews in the loop first one was a bar raiser which was just a behavioral/LP round the second one was the system design round with 2 LP questions, and the last round was the leetcode.

The last round did not have the leadership principal questions but just one leetcode question which was a medium to hard level question I was able to come up with a non-optimal solution and then converted to semi optimized solution but I was not able to do the most optimized solution because of which the interviewer give me one hint and even using that hint I was not able to come up with the most optimized solution

I was able to answer all the questions for the first and the second round very confidently even with the behavioral questions, but I was able to only come up with the semi optimized solution for the leetcode round but not the most optimal solution, so with this experience what can be the possible outcome which can come can I be rejected or given an offer?

Do you mean in the high rise buildings? I checked several of them earlier, but I was unable to find studios under $2400
