I have my Data Scientist L5 interview next week. Any tips on cracking the interview with links online resources will be very helpful. Thank you all!

Update:
Thank you all for the tips. The interview was focused on ML questions and SQL. I thought that I did well in the interview. But today, I got a reply from the recruiter that they are not moving forward with me.

I am still looking for a job, I really appreciate if anyone can refer me. Thanks!

    Their SQL (most likely they don't askPython/R coding) and ML questions are pretty same like other interviews & regular industry standard. You need to focus on LPs which is holy book to Amazon :)
    I am assuming you are talking about onsite

      Well it’s only because phone interviews are totally unstructured at Amazon. So technically the interviewers can ask whatever they want during phone interviews, including LPs. But LPs are definitely not enforced for the phone interviews and they shouldn’t be a focus for a role like DS. I was an interviewer for several years for DS related roles at Amazon.

      lol they ask Python and/or R (use whichever one you want) questions. be prepped to do a basic analysis and to manipulate data and ignore ppl that don't actually work at Amazon

      Common question for freshman is “describe the difference between a float and an int” or “an array and a queue”. An int and “a cloud” are wildly different, unrelated concepts.

      It’s like telling a mechanic that to prepare for his interview he should definitely know the difference between a wheel and a Ferrari

    Remove job detail. You’ve said too much. Make this post generic.
