Can you share your interview experience please? -DS interest

Did you move from SDET to DS that’s why you got entry level offer?

Amazon E=MC^2 OP Feb 21, 2018

Nope. Currently a DE, the comp is going to be more than current though

I don’t have any numbers for you but why would you want to do this? Love analytics?

Amazon E=MC^2 OP Feb 21, 2018

Yes love analytics

Also, by DS do you mean the Quantitative Analyst role?

Amazon E=MC^2 OP Feb 21, 2018

Yes quantitative analyst

Just to help: friend at Google DS told me new grads - 2 years exp of Analytics typically get around 150K - 200K RSU with refresh

I would check if that is PhD or non PhD.

@HydraM Thank you! That's helpful!! @Tweeple Non-Phd

What's the best way to prepare for this interview?

Does Google hire non-phd or non masters for quantitative analyst? I’ve always seen them requiring a phd

Amazon E=MC^2 OP Feb 22, 2018

Non masters I highly doubt. About 70% have PhD though.

How come nobody ever talks about what this interview is like? Is it that much of a secret compared to SWE?

Did you make it to Google? How did you prepare for it? Any tips or suggestions? I’m currently a L5 at Amazon and thinking of something similar.
