Am I fucked? Amazon interviews in 5 days, and other A tier companies in a week. I've been prepping, can do mediums in 30 and hards in 45. 80% success rate. Looking to use Amazon offer as leverage for others. What's the benchmark these days?
You are good, they are not that hard really, the picky Indian interviewers sometimes make problems super hard so they can fail you and let one of their friends in later
This is not how interviewing works. If you have some racist biases, please don't puke them on people excitedly looking forward to join Amazon.
Lmao, I’m no the racist I have Indian friends but I have observed this happen while interviewing for Amazon
You’re not fucked. Google standard is 20 min for medium so 30min is pretty good
I made it to Amazon before I even had a Leetcode account. Mediums are good, prepare well for Leadership Principals.
Should be able to crack FB and Netflix if you can do mediums under 30m
You’ll be fine but don’t forget to prep LP since they make up a decent amount of the interviews
It's very much luck based, with that preparation, you should be fine. People have received FAANG offers doing just 20 questions and there are people who failed phone interviews with 1000+ LC
What level are you interviewing for? From my experience we are a lot more forgiving at L4 than L5 as long as you do well on the LPs.
L6 :p
Ah, well as an L5 myself I'm not involved in L6 interviews. So no clue how those debriefs usually go. Best of luck. On one hand I could see the argument that system design is way more important than leetcode at that level, but on the other hand the questions we ask should be easy for anyone at that level. Both because of experience and just because I'd expect you to be interviewing candidates semi regularly with the same types of questions.
If you don't prepare for LP interviews thoroughly you will bomb your chance. At least make 3 examples for each LP.
