Hi guys, I interviewed at Sunnyvale location more than a year ago and did well. However during team match I withdrew because I was already joining Amazon. I'm starting the process again and was told that I will only go through two round on-site this time. I believe it's for L6 position.
If you have any word of advice I would appreciate it. I'm leetcoding at the moment and not sure what else to prepare for this time. I'm also looking for insight as to what a typical week/quarter look like for an L6 sde at Google

TC: 375k more next yr due to stock appreciation
Yoe: approx 14y in silicon valley

    Shouldn't you prioritize system design type of questions instead of leetcoding? Do you mind describing the format of last year's loop?

      OP
      I think I'm ok with system design discussions (Working at AWS certainly helped even more), it's always the damn binary tree that got me, that was the only negative feedback I got from last time. I'm not sure what level I interviewed for last time, but it was focused on embeded systems. I was interviewed by mostly very experienced networking folks and the non coding questions were like debug experiences and how to do certain thing in an embeded system, and some deep dive in one of my projects. These were the questions I didn't practice for at all but I guess I handled them well due to having interviews at other companies prior to that. Now I'm kinda rusty but hopefully a couple weeks of practice will get me warmed up.

    Definitely focus on the stupid graph trees and dynamic programming bs, forget anything useful you did in your life for the last 14 years and just
    Imagine going to a test in college.
