Title. TC 170K Does Google hire at a higher bar than Amazon? I.e do they use harder algorithm questions, or expect you to have a bug-free or optimal solution?
What level at MS and number of years?
62, 6 yoe
Unfortunately low TC :/ done with 4 yr stock?
Amazon starts as easy and keeps getting harder for upper levels
Compared to other tech , amazon bar is low
yes. Google is harder. It is much more objective and takes less false negative. This is for SW. There bar and comp might be dropping tho, so who knows for future.
Google is probably the hardest among all major tech companies, much harder at Amazon. Expect 1-2 Dynamic Programming, 1-2 medium-hard questions per 45 minute interview.
Any idea what a content strategist is comped at G? Random question. 💀 Had someone approach me about it while grinding SWE.
What is Google's expectation then? I.e. if candidate can reason a good approach to an algorithm question but wasn't able to finish a bug-free implementation. Is it still possible to get a positive feedback? (for L4)
hell yea!
what stupid question is this? amazon hires people for fun and their questions are straight from leetcode
So Google doesn't use plain leetcode questions? There's many questions on LC marked as Google questions..
Google is notorious for blacklisting questions on leetcode. Read around man.
Lmao 😂 Interview at both places and you’ll have your answer. At L4, you will get hired as long as you have a pulse. You just need to be alive during the interview. At L5, you just need to regurgitate the LPs. Meanwhile at Google, you need to be really good at algorithms while ensuring your code is bug free and handles all edge cases. Literally no comparison in the difference of difficulty.
Depends on the level Anything under l6 at Amazon - yes
For people from Amazon, do u get more stock after 4 yrs to keep ur tc the same?
After the first two years you will get stock in promotions and performance Unless you get a promotion or tt though you will probably face a year 4 cliff

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Amazon is not hard. They just concentrate more on LPs.
