Why do you think it doesn't make sense? You think you are so good that it is beneath you? Trust me, if you are not prepared with your DS/Algo and have not been practicing leetcode you are about to be very humbled.
I don’t know how much experience you have. At least it is common sense, for architect and fellow member not to have online assessment. It is very disrespectful.
Just the number of years of experience means nothing. You need to have relevant experience. If what they are looking for is not what you have experience in, you essentially have no experience. They need to assess you based on their requirements and not based on what you claim to know.
You can request the recruiter to consider you for a phone interview instead . The way it works with OA is that if you dont completely pass both the questions , you will automatically be referred to go thru a phone interview phase. Mind you. Amazons OA are hard to judge. You may get 1 LC medium and 1 LC hard , so be fully prepped
Thanks, I agree.
That being said, a lot of people said it is better to go the OA as it removed certain “biases” in hiring. But i didnt like that. On a phone interview you can talk about a lot of things, how to optimize better etc. I had an option to convert my second OA into a phone interview and i did just that. Phone interviews are gonna be LC medium (amazon doesnt require you to run and execute you code on the livecode link they give out during a phone interview), so as long as your algorithm works , you neednt be concerned about way too vague edge cases!
TC?
Oh ok got it thanks. Also, sorry to hear that.
Yes
Amazon gets to decide that
Sometimes I feel like Recruter’s don’t even read your profile or resume. There just follow process for the junior position.
