How much effort did you put into studying LPs for Amazon onsite?

I didn’t spend too much time and failed to get an offer for SDM. SDEs might have less of a requirement. You’ll be fine if you are a strong bullshitter, which I am not. I would have been better off to get my fake stories in order before the interview. They do ask for specific examples that actually happened to you. Like “remember a time you had a conflict. How did you resolve it”.

Better to get separate examples for each. Multiple for each is even better. 3-4 in total will look bad.

I didn't put enough effort in and felt like it hurt my interview performance. I stretched a few examples to apply to most LPs. Interviewed for SDE2 and got top of band SDE1 offer

Do not underestimate them, that’s all I’ll say.

Did this recently but for SDE role, please make sure you have at least Three for few imp ones. It is not easy to invent on the fly. Took me an entire evening to prepare a chart. My approach was to line up all my projects and match them with multiple LP as tags. This way was easier to remember for me but be careful not to repeat any. I didn't make anything for the less imp lps as I could use the extra for important ones. They note down all your responses for each qn.

About 6 hours. You need to practice story telling first, then organize your stories from the past to make it believable. Hint: it does not have to be "your" stories.

What does LP stand for, sorry for my ignorance

Gotcha thanks

The behavioral questions are hideous. You truly do need to come in with a gameplan to be able to respond to a question like “Tell me 1 time u encountered a struggle in ur life, btw?” On the street, you’d tell someone who asked this to go have a wank. But obviously you can’t do this at an Amazon interview (if you want to get the job.)

Gilderoy Lockhart!
