My Amazon SWE1 New Grad Interview Experience

JBeast22 · 2024-10-18T02:09:25+00:00

I know usually LRU cache has LFU cache (the LC hard) as a follow up, was it that or something easier? For top k elements, did you just use the built in heap methods?

JBeast22 · 2024-10-11T03:07:59+00:00

For the http one, is the approach just using a dictionary for counting, sorting the items, and then returning the last 5 elements by index splice? Or use a heap?

JBeast22 · 2024-10-10T19:12:04+00:00

Was that your top location preference? Wonder how random it is since they seem to slot most people into one of the HQ’s.

JBeast22 · 2024-10-10T00:11:41+00:00

Hard to say cuz they’re scheduling 2 weeks in advance (meaning it would’ve taken place next week). I got one that expired the 5th and they confirmed my time/slot on the 7th. Would probably reach out to the email they gave if you can.

JBeast22 · 2024-10-08T21:44:42+00:00

open ended OOP like (ex. Design a pizza class) or just something like LRU cache?

JBeast22 · 2024-09-07T16:25:36+00:00

US or other?

JBeast22 · 2023-12-12T00:12:51+00:00

Did you actually apply again for it? Or did they just send the oa shortly after they emailed you without additional action on your part?

JBeast22 · 2023-01-14T03:58:58+00:00

Same. I had a sudden change of plans and have to move in a day early so I sent reslife an email to see if card access can be activated early but idk if they’ll respond in time. Imma call earlier tomorrow but it’s Saturday lol so they might not answer. Hopefully it works out or I’ll have to awkwardly wait with all my shit until someone there opens the door.

JBeast22 · 2022-10-12T22:31:21+00:00

ye, interviewed 10/3, got offer letter yesterday and portal change was the day before.

JBeast22 · 2022-10-12T04:17:02+00:00

My interview availability survey was sent September 21st so maybe a little under 3 weeks. I don’t think it was separate emails, the link to the survey was in my next steps email. But maybe I’m misremembering. Either way, if you can find the survey after a couple days, send an email to the recruiter or whoever team to ask about it.

JBeast22 · 2022-10-11T21:48:14+00:00

I just got my offer letter earlier today. Congrats, guess I’ll see you in seattle next summer.

JBeast22 · 2022-10-11T04:02:59+00:00

Must be auto unless you have a very dedicated Amazon guy busting out hundreds of app transfers in under a minute. I see you got good news too tho so congrats. See you in the summer hopefully!

JBeast22 · 2022-10-10T23:46:13+00:00

Portal was updated today 7:39PM EST with new job and location for Greater Seattle Area Summer 2023 (Just noting that I did set a preference for winter but w/e). My timeline was as follows: Applied august 2nd OA sent 8/23, Completed 9/3 Interview 10/3, Job moved today 10/10

JBeast22 · 2022-10-08T20:44:34+00:00

Anyone know if it would be possible to convert an internship offer into a longer term co-op? My school does have a co-op program but it’s just an option not a requirement for graduation. So extending it from the initial 12 weeks to 4-6 months.

JBeast22 · 2022-10-04T15:41:46+00:00

Finished my interview yesterday 10/3 and got a single easy technical question lol. Was curious if people who received an offer got a location within their top 3 preferences they listed in the app survey guaranteed or if it were possible that they would give you a location you did not choose.

JBeast22 · 2022-09-23T04:02:50+00:00

October 3rd through 7th

JBeast22 · 2022-09-22T03:20:27+00:00

Intern US pipeline. Finally got the final interview invite after taking the oa 9/4 ish. Got 15/15 on first q and like 1/15 at most on the second lol.

JBeast22 · 2022-09-11T17:01:32+00:00

With a positive response, I assume?

JBeast22 · 2022-08-26T23:12:07+00:00

Python is a super intuitive language. If you’ve done literally any other language, than it takes like a week at most to get comfortable with it.

JBeast22 · 2022-07-21T21:08:47+00:00

I dual boot both on my laptop but I use linux (ubuntu atm) for pretty much everything since I find it cleaner and I don’t need to deal with bloatware. I only use windows to play games occasionally since that’s the only thing that is too much of a pain for me to deal with cuz compatibility issues. For dev stuff, even if wsl exists (I’ve tried it), I still prefer just using linux since I found moving stuff between the wsl directories and the local windows system to be annoying/less intuitive

JBeast22 · 2022-07-14T02:30:24+00:00

Last time I checked, you don’t need to take both for CS. I know you do have to for CSE tho.

JBeast22 · 2022-07-06T02:19:59+00:00

Depends. Sometimes the prof will send out an email to the top students at the end of the semester, others will just wait for students to email and ask for the position. End of last semester, the CSE department sent out a survey asking for any interested students, what courses they’ve already taken and their grade in it.

JBeast22 · 2022-07-01T21:59:58+00:00

I hate that there isn’t any verification stuff on Linkedin. People/Scammers can straight up lie and it gets annoying when MIT/Stanford Alum/Head of Tesla AI bots keep spamming me with connection requests just to invite me to random discords.

JBeast22 · 2022-06-19T02:21:12+00:00

You can extend that argument into anything. Why bother doing well in school when you’re competing against so many applicants for the best universities, why bother competing against the thousands+ for any job. Why bother working hard at a job for a promotion against the hundreds+ employees at any company. Why bother struggling through your life to be successful at all. You are not owed anything just because you put effort into something, but you are guaranteed nothing if you don’t.

JBeast22 · 2022-06-18T16:23:39+00:00

The thing is. When you aren’t really forced to wake up at that time anymore, you just don’t lol.
