Hi fishbowlers, in the past two months I interviewed for Google, Amazon and Facebook for L5-6 roles in the data analytics side (non tech) without much luck. I got calls from all these companies within a week of applying. But I realize I may lack preparation. How can I best prepare and score another shot at interviews? TIA!

This has been my experience, but with preparation for the most part. 😞

Did they give you feedback after the interviews? If not, I would ask for it. Or at least try to reflect back on the interviews and what went well, what did not go so well. That would allow you to focus on the most important areas for improvement. To prepare for interviews, write questions you think you're going to have & good answers (with examples from past experience).

Hi fishes,

Got an offer from Amazon for Data Engineer-2

Yoe-2

Base - 20LPA
Bonus - 10LPA (over 2 years)
RSU-137 (over 4 yrs) worth 13.5 LPA,standard Amazon vesting

I moved to my current company just a month back but Amazon process was in progress, so leaving in probation. I don't think they considered TC of my current company (17 LPA from 7.5 LPA) as it's been just a month. Any views regarding the offer and TC offered.

Thanks already!

Cheers
