I’m attending the MSFT hiring event for a sde position. What’s the difference between sde 1 and 2 interviews, is it just that there’s no system design interviews for sde 1?

How difficult are the technical interviews compared to AWS?

  • About the same to AWS in my experience, have done SDE 1 and 2 interviews there and received an offer. It’s basically whatever they feel like asking tbh. Mix of LC medium. LC Hard is more rare but I’ve had a couple before. System design I’ve been asked design Facebook timeline, sudoku solver, validate order of operations for math equation are accurate, phone number pad permutations, tree stuff, maze traversal.

    Hire days might be easier

    Many teams still ask system design for SDE 1, but the standards are really low. My new grad interview was much harder than the Amazon new grad process (3 part assessment and one 30min virtual interview)

    I’d imagine Amazon SDE 2 bar is overall higher though? Not sure
