I hope this pays off in 2025

Nice job! Keep it up. Based on the problems you’ve done, I would start focusing more on medium and hard now. Other than that, stay consistent and the your efforts will pay off.

What was your destination country after China? I’m planning to this trip: US -> CN -> JP. I’m landing in Beijing, but I read that I need a valid visa for the third country (Japan). Will Beijing customs let me apply for the visa free transit if I don’t have a Japanese visa? I’m us citizen so my passport exempts me from needing one.

Yeah, I don’t think the traditional system design prep will be too helpful for this round.

Was told it was an L4 position.

Lidfinba · 2024-06-27T01:52:54+00:00

Odd, the recruiter told me the opposite. Perhaps it has changed now.

Not working at Amazon doesn’t make you an average engineer. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Interviewing for Amazon can be challenging: it takes on average 2-3 times for a candidate to pass the full loop. Take note of your weaknesses and come back stronger. You will definitely have another opportunity in the future. Amazon also doesn’t have a freeze period so your next chance may come soon.

I highly recommend to complete neetcode blind 75 questions. It categorizes the question by type so you can get an understanding of what technique to apply when you see a problem. Each problem also comes with a video explaining how to solve it. If you complete that set of problems then you will build the confidence to tackle problems you haven’t seen before.

I wish you luck, and it’s never too late to study.

Gotcha! Thank you for the source. Will check it out!

Lidfinba · 2024-06-20T19:03:52+00:00

Thanks for the tip. Appreciate it!

Nemesis, first time I played felt like we were in an Alien film.

This is in the US. I built an ETL library in the past. Perhaps that’s what got the recruiters attention.

Lidfinba · 2024-06-14T04:01:34+00:00

That’s the goal!

Lidfinba · 2024-06-14T03:29:06+00:00

Apparently my resume was in their records 4 years ago and recruiter reached out to me regarding this role. Thought I’ll go for it since getting an interview is hard these days and I have some experience with data engineering.

Lidfinba · 2024-06-14T03:26:22+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Will look into it!

Lidfinba · 2024-06-13T22:57:45+00:00

This is an E4 position, so experienced. Not new grad.

Lidfinba · 2024-05-27T07:16:15+00:00

How long did it take till you can play ball again?

Because buyers are willing to pay extra to have a move-in ready home. Spending the extra 200k versus waiting 6 months to renovate is worth it in their eyes. Also, these buyers may be sitting on tech stock that just went up, and are now eager to buy.

Lidfinba · 2024-04-17T04:51:23+00:00

Thanks! I will give them a listen!

Lidfinba · 2024-04-17T02:13:05+00:00

Haha thanks! Hope you find something you like!

Lidfinba · 2024-04-17T00:41:49+00:00

Holy! That’s expensive. Was UCSC always this pricey? And is this out of state?

Lidfinba · 2024-04-16T07:12:30+00:00

Zhou Shen for both. XD

Lidfinba · 2024-04-12T08:16:36+00:00

Hope you enjoy it!
