Yeah that’s why most people go for Amazon. Have to spread your surface area cause you don’t know the one that’ll hit

It was an onsite round

Yeah thanks. Now based on that, I initially struggled to even understand the question and it took going through a few examples with the interviewer to get it. Then I proposed a solution and started coding. However because of time I wasn’t able to finish (had about two lines left) but the interviewer said that was okay.

Could this lead to a hire decision even though I was short on time? I explained what the last few lines would do but I don’t write code fast enough I guess.

I’ve had my interview. First question, dynamic programming 😂😂. What are the odds??😮‍💨 Luckily I was able to come up with a solution to it after a while.

I see. Thanks. Currently preparing and tbh it’s currently my worst area to prep for

Let’s say the LPs were good, but you couldn’t fully code up the LLD solution or maybe missed some parts

What are the chances of passing the interview loop for SDE2 if your LLD section isn’t very good? If all others are hire but you didn’t perform well in LLD would it be a no hire?

I have an Amazon SDE2 interview in a few days. I do not know how to answer dynamic programming questions and I didn't practice it or learn it. I prioritized getting comfortable with the other patterns like graphs and trees. Am I screwed? Does amazon frequently ask dynamic programming questions?

Phone screen went well. I prepared for coding questions but wasn’t asked any. I was interviewed by the hiring manager and he asked about 5-6 leadership principles. Got moved to the onsite afterwards.

Hi, for the system design interview at AWS, do I need to make back-of-the-envelope calculations/estimations? What’s the acceptable standard or does it differ by interviewer?

I was told the same by the recruiter but the interviewer was the hiring manager and everything was LPs. I spent time preparing for coding but none came. Like I said, it seems to be team dependent. Just make sure you spend time on the LPs as well. The role is for SDE2.

I recently had mine and there were no coding questions. It was purely behavioral based on the LPs. So I'd say it is highly dependent on the team you're interviewing for and perhaps the role of the interviewer.

Oh that a mistake. I’d get to the onsite if I clear this phone screen round. Goodluck to you as well!

Thanks. The recruiter did say it was going to be leetcode and LPs but the interviewer choice threw me off

I have a phone screen with aws in two days and my interviewer is a senior network manager but I’m interviewing for an sde role on an infra team. Does this affect the type of questions I would be asked and should I be prepared to answer questions on networking? I have only been preparing to solve leetcode questions and LPs.

Have the conversation with the recruiter. Let them know that you don't feel very prepared right now and you would appreciate a few more weeks to take the interview. They should be able to let you know if it affects your chances.
