2 years industry experience, SDE II considering applying. <amazon-disclosure Before the Amazon haters come out in full force * I like my coworkers * I like my management chain * I work <= 40hrs a week * you are fungible too /> 1. What location should I apply for if optimizing for * passing HC/receiving offer * total comp (adjusted for location CoL) * team opportunities * wlb 2. Are DP questions asked? 3. What sort of design questions does Google emphasize? 4. Any soft skills stand out? 5. For ex-Amazonians now at Google, summarize the difference in a sentence or two. Thanks.
Don't try optimizing on any of those listed in the beginning. Once you get an offer, you can think of WLB, teams etc. As for passing HC, location is not a factor.
Leetcode is the answer to all your questions.
