Few days ago, I have applied to a few positions at amazon. After that I have received a hackerrank 105 minutes AWS EMEA coding challenge invitation. But no recruiter reached out to me and I don’t even know for which position the coding challenge is for. Is this normal? Can I take the coding test after a week? Or should I take it now? #amazon #aws
They typically give you only a week (or something around that amount of time) to take it. If you’re not sure about the role just take the challenge and figure out what the role is if you pass. It can’t hurt as it should at least be very good practice. And you may get a job out of it
If I fail this online test, is there going to be a cool down for when I can apply next?
There will be a cooldown
Just take the test. You'll get a call from recruiter once you clear it. The test validity would be mentioned on the invite Same happened with me for an emea position and I got a call 2 days after OA.
There’s going to be 2 problem to solve, right? Do I also have to explain the approach too after solving the problems? Also what was the difficulty level?
Yep, I had 2 problems and were medium hards. The test did not mention anywhere I have to explain the approach but I just wrote the time complexities
Just take it :)
