Preparation for Applied Scientist interview at Amazon
I’m currently an SDE 2 with PHD, considering switching to Applied Science. I have some basic knowledge in ML. What is the best way to prepare for the AS interview? Is there something similar to leetcode for ML?

I had the same context, transferring with managers approval, no interview needed
So you have moved from sde to AS and the AS team did not interview you?

As bad as it sounds, it depends who you're interviewing with. Some will request a walk through in solving a general problem using theory on a white board. Some will just ask you to go in depth about your background.
Thanks. Is there a place I can practice or at least see examples of such general problems?
Yes and no. Is there a specific concentration this role takes? Like if it's Alexa, it's likely nlp. Rekognition would likely be cv. I could probably give much better advice with some more context.
