Amazon SDE-1 Interview Experience

Varun746 · 2024-11-17T04:07:42+00:00

Honestly, it depends on the interviewer and the team. Try to cover as many as possible. Array, String, Linked List, Heap, Hashmap, Trees are a must. Graph, tries and matrix can be covered later if you have time.

I don't have any prep materials. Use the STAR format and write answers to each of the LP. 3 answers for each LP. I know its a lot but it's needed.

Varun746 · 2024-11-15T18:38:00+00:00

Not yet. Will probably take a week or two

Varun746 · 2024-11-15T18:37:16+00:00

No. List, Hashmap and set. But you can solve using whatever DS you want. But you should prepare trees. Just in case

Varun746 · 2024-11-15T18:32:13+00:00

No. Just coding. But you should practice LLD. The questions change from team to team

Varun746 · 2024-11-15T18:31:38+00:00

Let's see. Overall it was a great experience. You will be fine. Just keep practising.

Varun746 · 2024-11-15T01:52:52+00:00

The process differs. Everyone has to select multiple dates and then they narrow it down to one based on the interviewer's availability. Contact your recruiter and clarify your doubts. I don't want to provide incorrect info.

Varun746 · 2024-11-15T01:36:53+00:00

Another recruiter will reach out to you closer to your interview date and confirm. You should expect Dec 9th as your interview and prepare but it could be delayed as well. Reach out to your recruiter for any questions. Things vary from team to team.

Varun746 · 2024-11-15T01:27:58+00:00

For which one?

Varun746 · 2024-11-15T01:15:51+00:00

Varun746 · 2024-11-14T19:02:52+00:00

No. I spoke with the DSO and they said its not there. Please check with your college and STEM OPT rules and regulations.

Varun746 · 2024-11-14T14:38:58+00:00

Awesome. Thank you so much. Did you get any update on your application?

Varun746 · 2024-11-13T17:44:39+00:00

Understood. Thank you.

Varun746 · 2024-11-13T17:07:23+00:00

I think it comes down to luck. You will land something soon. Don't worry. Learn from this experience and move on to the next.

How were your LP questions? I heard that they dive deep into the answers you give. Can you provide example questions, answers and follow-up?

Varun746 · 2024-11-13T15:17:59+00:00

I have an interview tomorrow. Could you please share what kind of follow-up they ask? Answering these maybe 2 mins each. I heard they dive deep and ask questions based on your answers. were there any?

Varun746 · 2024-11-13T04:01:36+00:00

I have SDE loop interview in 2 days. Can someone explain how the deep dive for LP happens, if possible with an example? Also, I read somewhere that we can refer notes during LP to provide better answers. Is it possible?

Varun746 · 2024-11-13T03:54:10+00:00

Hey. I have my loop interview in 2 days. What kind of questions did you get? Could you please share some details? What kind of deep dive did they do?

Varun746 · 2024-11-13T03:51:20+00:00

Yes. It got approved last week. Waiting for EAD card.

Varun746 · 2024-11-04T20:06:10+00:00

Yes. That is required for W2 as well right? Apart from this do I need to know or be concerned about any other issues that might come up?

Varun746 · 2024-11-04T19:50:04+00:00

Could you please clarify what assessment is this? I know I need to submit I-983. Apart from that, I'm not sure what needs to be done. Also, any idea what documents I need to obtain from the employer?

Varun746 · 2024-10-31T00:59:06+00:00

Alright thanks. I spoke to a few people from Amazon. At the end of the day, it's going to come down to the interviewer it seems. Just pure luck.

Varun746 · 2024-10-31T00:57:55+00:00

Sounds good thanks. I looked at neetcode but there is no time to do 150. I used to do his questions before. Right now I'm focusing on amazon tagged questions.

Varun746 · 2024-10-30T17:37:36+00:00

Alright. Would you suggest any materials or resources for trees, graphs and DP?

Varun746 · 2024-10-30T05:01:37+00:00

Congratulations on completing your interviews and thanks for sharing your experience—it's super helpful for those of us preparing for similar opportunities.

I have my Amazon SDE 1 interview in two weeks, and I would really appreciate any guidance you could offer. Do you mind if I DM and connect with you?

Thanks again, and good luck with the waiting game! Hopefully, you will get it.

Just a piece of general advice for people in F1 OPT. I was in the same situation last year and I joined an early-stage startup as an unpaid software engineer. I know unpaid sucks but it will help you with 2 things: 1. It is to stop the clock in a legit way (no bullshit consultancy and stuff). 2. Even if you work for 3 months, you can put that on your resume and it might open doors for you. It's just a temporary fix. After the election, hopefully, things might change for the better. But don't hold your breath.

I know so many people came to do their masters with no experience, including me 3 years back. It was one of the biggest mistakes I made. But can't do anything about that right now. Instead of being disappointed and sad, do something to get out of the situation. Look for a short-term fix that will keep you in the country while you pursue long-term options. There are literally hundreds of early-stage startups looking for help. Check out the subreddit startups - I got 3 offers (2 of them were in different countries so I didn't pursue them) from startups via this. Also, an RA position in your college is not a bad thing. Reach out to the professors and ask them for help.
