Failing twice in 3 years is not really a big deal. Keep trying and refining the stories. They expect the response in certain format. Plus they are always hiring. So, just keep on applying.

Happy to hook you up in EY. DM me if you want

The interview process focuses around Amazon 16 leadership principles. Each question that ask you is to see if you can meet those principles. They also use the STAR method with interviewing. Don’t share the same examples, talk about your struggles and what you could have done better and come prepared

Happened to me in so many places!!! Glad I’m not the only one!

AWS is a whole lot harder to get into than regular Amazon. A referral is best and potentially some mock interview help, Amazon tends to prefer data based robotic answers. Personality and fit are much less important than what numerical value you can bring.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
