Current TC 120k, 9 YOE
Structural analysis engineer.

Applied for stress engineer position but for analysis tool development. I applied thinking it is an interesting position and I like using codes at my job. Later, I noticed in the job posting that they prefer a CS degree which I don't have. Looks like they wanted someone with stress analysis background who worked on software development for tools for engineers.

My coding skill is really introductory level but I did take on cert courses. Learned basic stuff like OOP and flask but not sure how I will fare in tech interview. If they ask me any leetcode stuff I can't answer any. I tried studying it and it's so new and difficult to me.

My daily task is stress analysis not programming. But I tried to incorporate scripts to automate some tasks.

The recruiter said I need to set up a time with her for prep before tech phone interview with hiring team.

I wonder what I can do to prepare for the tech interview. Also curious if they are serious about me or just trying to get more info from me and to disqualify me.

I am scared about the Amazon interview process.

  • Unfortunately you will be put through a rather impersonal and potentially ignorant tech screen. They are just throwing bodies at the door and hope you make it through

      OP
      Thanks for the note. I had talked with the recruiter and sent me a summary of the technical interview format. It consists of 60% of behavior and 40% technical specific to the role. So it seems a bit different than usual Amazon. I think this is a bit better than asking leet codes. Planning to answer most of the behavior questions based on my structural engineer background. Tech questions would be more about coding and software development which I only have somewhat introductory. So I will just explain what I know and hope that is enough for them to hire me.

    • Yeah man you can do it! Be honest and confident, I know it’s easier said than done :)

      If you only study one leadership principle it should be the “have backbone disagree and commit” one

    There are some postings for Senior ME that seem similar to your area of interest that don’t require a CS background. Check out this posting: A1760947
