How long before they bring it to warehouse workers and then SWE's? They don't even need managers to pip people anymore. The software will first fire the team that developed it, and then others, I suspect :-P https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/06/amazon-is-firing-flex-workers-using-algorithms-...Read more

I came to know that there are more than 5 graph algorithms, such as DFS, Dijkstra's algorithm, Bellman Ford algorithm, Floyd-Warshall algorithm, Kosaraju algorithm, etc. But should one know all these algorithms? What are the most common graph algorithms asked in interviews? TC: 15lpa #google #me...Read more
Hey all, what is the Coinbase DS interview process like? Are the tech screens just SQL? Are they algorithms? Trying to get info, I know roles are different between firms. Thanks! (Got denied by AMZN yesterday but then was blessed with a Coinbase interview today). #datascience #dataanalytics #data

Title. TC 170K Does Google hire at a higher bar than Amazon? I.e do they use harder algorithm questions, or expect you to have a bug-free or optimal solution?
I think the way i prepare myself for those interviews might interest you. I decided to create this topic to both gather last seconds advice and also share my experience. I'm a father, husband and a senior sde at amazon SF (which mean i have not a lot of free time), and I'm an imposter. I'm happy a...Read more
