      Yeah, I literally only solved around 50 but still have offers from these companies. Obviously, I have a lower shot than maybe people who did and understood more, but at the end of the day I am aiming for a couple offers not offers from 10+ companies of this level.

      Harder LC,
      Harder behavioral

      LC difficulty was probably 1) citadel 2) Google 3) Snapchat

      The rest were a breeze

      They really wanted to see that you understood your product and userbase and made impactful changes. This includes understanding the laws and regulations around your marketplace or userbase aswell.

      1) is MIT 6.824 necessary? never heard anyone recommend that for interview

      Well, I definitely did 10x more LC than you and still wasn’t able to crack Amazon, so the real question is, how many problems you did in your career across all coding websites? And which year did you interview with amazon? That’s the real question
