Hey Everyone,
I'm a sde1 at Amazon, YOE : 2 (2019 GRADUATE), will be promoted soon to SDE2, aiming to switch company after one year and target Sde2 equivalent level at good companies. Will need advice on what all things I should focus on to prepare in this 1 year, companies I'm aiming are:
1. Google L4
2. Microsoft L61/62
3. Uber Sde2
4. Linkedin Sde2
5. Snapchat
6. Netflix SE
7. Tower Research
8. Facebook SE
9. Apple Sde2
10. AirBnB Sde2

Would like to listen how you guys prepared for thwse companies, what should I focus on. Will have 3 YOE while switching.

It would be nice if you can refer some books.

Current TC : 16Lpa + 8 RSU (20% VESTED).
Thanks in advance!

    For Uber the culture has changed a bit and would not recommend to target as a top company were very similar to amazon both in terms of comp and culture and have began mass hiring amazon leadership with our cto and many senior level managers and directs, with the one cultural difference being we tend to let low performers coast and accrue rsu’s which is causing high performers to leave for greener pastures

      Agree with most of the things but please don't compare with Amazon in terms of comp.

      OP
      Thanks for the advice. I've started hearing about Uber WLB scenarios quite recently, still the comp is higher there. My WLB here is actually brilliant, Comp was the only major factor for jumping to Uber as I though WLB will be good there. Thanks for the suggestion, will research more on this. But still, whta do you think should I focus on learning? HLD ,LLD?
