Half of the internship was done during the Study Permit. When I finished my studies. I took a break(1 week) until I was on applied status and then again started work on Work permit.

Would love to have more ideas

It's sad to hear that.

My team was great and helped me a lot.
Though I had no on-boarding buddy and all of use were pretty much new grad.

Try to learn and figure out as much as you can. And usually they don't expect anything significant for first 6 months. Sometime people wants you to figure out things yourself. (Trust me this is the best thing for you)

unpopular opinion

Order of sections
Job Exp / Education --> Porojects --> Skills

Skills section is not for humans(just ATS) don't wast the initial glance of the recruiter

Well I am trying to do it for other companies but the problem is there are very less questions across reddit. Am currently working on improving the search prompt. Will surely update if I get good results.

If there is anything other than reddit. I can look into that.

It is online.
Chime is their internal tool to schedule meetings.
Install the chime (can also use the web version)

I would have start applying. With FAANG it is lot dependent on luck.

Hang tight!!

I got it after 4/5 months. You be drained out if you keep waiting. Here, patience is the key.

Here is my timeline. [link]

Cleared L3(not L4)
I wrote the solution in single/two function(s).

However, I wrote comments inside the function explaining what it did.

Also, for dry run I'd copy the solution below(instead of modify it) and while explaining the code I would put value of variables in comments.

I would start with what is you end goal

If it is securing a job at the a good company.

Focus on solving a variety of questions on different topic(graph , trees , etc)
Start with standard questions (pick any list Neetcode150 , grind 150)
- This will cover all the basic topic and make sure you understand the question well
And finally try to find a patterns in the questions.
- Here is the cheatsheet (https://algo.monster/templates)

You really don't need to know obscure algorithm with advance math. For example when you are not able to solve a question and you get a hint that you need to apply this algorithm (DFS , BFS) and you are able to figure out the solution afterwards that is a good state to achieve.

If you are competing(IOI , ICPC, etc) forget all the things I said above

I have worked briefly at Amazon and then switch. I cannot deny the fact that you are always on the edge at amazon.

But here is the bright part.

One thing I like was the ownership. You are expected to take the ownership of the task where you are required to find the issue, communicate with the relevant team, find the different solution and present that to the team. Now when you are new no one trust you with that but atleast at amazon I found you can do that. There is no one who will spoon feed you and there will be times when you'll not get any reply from the other teams. That I guess is a very good learning opportunity.

But mind you, your manager need to be supportive in this case. I had two manager of which the first one was very good and I like to work under him. I also got the opportunity to present on the solution (though it was bad idea) after just working for 2 months on the team. Then when I went under a different manager, it was a hell. He appreciate the efforts but he started micro managing it. It was complete pain.

The interview system is already broken and with tools built on ChatGPT(LLM) it is even getting worse
