I’m not a SDE but I was interested in the position a year ago and talked with a SDE 2. He gave me some tips. I’ll share those with you.

Tech tips:
1. Be proficient in at least one programming language
2. Understand Data Structures and Algorithms
3. Be able to walk the interview through your thought process
4. Be able to answer design questions and explain why you’d choose one over the other
5. Practice solving code problems using sites like LeetCode
6. Be able to talk, in detail, about projects listed in your resume / on your portfolio and how they apply to the role

Leadership Principle (LP) tips:
1. Study Amazon’s LPs
2. Come up with stories for each LP that demonstrate why you raise the bar for each one
3. Practice telling your story in the STAR format
4. Print out the list of LPs so you can check them off as you go
5. Write down cliff notes of each story to help you remember when you’re in the interview. For me, I gave each story a title and printed the sheet out. The title helped job my memory.

So I’m engaged in an interview process for a top FinTech company. It started the 1st week of August and just now I’ve gotten word from my recruiter that they didn’t update on any decisions made. I had my 3rd & final interview last Friday. My recruiter doesn’t communicate well nor does she let me communicate with the company direct. May I being led on? Am I still in the race for this role in your opinion with the details stated. Please message me if you would like to know more in detail.

What can you do if you’re getting interviewed by the same person who didn’t choose you in the first place?
Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied. Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter?

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.
