Hello,

I am preparing an upcoming Amazon phone interview for SDE position.
By the way, I wonder how a story per a LP should be tied to? Do I have to prepare a story which is related to the position SDE?

Thanks for your comments in advance.

      Interviewing doesn’t mean he has to join. Just use your Amazon offer to negotiate up your other offers.

      Interviewing does not mean he will join, he might want to practice.
      Have you worked at Amazon? I know a few Amazonians who joined Compass and left back to Amazon in 6 months..

      Amazon is a hugh company, sure - there are may orgs that sucks, URA is an issue, but it can also be a good place to learn quite a few things, and transfer between teams is easy.

    Just prepare a story from your past experience that maps to LPs: https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles

      Is it okay to prepare a story not related to the position in my life which matches to the LP?

      If you make up a story about the girl you hit on a bar to show bias for action, that won’t work.

    You prepare a story for your achievements/failures as an SDE in a STAR format. LPs should be reflected in that story.

      Did you mean that the story must be related to the SDE role?

    Anything can be used to demonstrate LPs. Similarly, anything can be used to PIP you.

    Do u want to join them? Only then u interview. U may end up getting double tc offer and u may end up rejecting reading reviews
