First round, just a case — second round they ask you a bunch of questions (e.g., a time you struggled, your social security number, etc) and ask you to identify your mothers maiden name from a lineup

Simple case, framework plus math.

Make sure your factors are broad, case specific and go down at least three levels, and walk through the math as you do it.

Hi all, recently a recruiter from Amazon reached out for an SDE 2(2+ years of exp. required) role and I'm a recent CS grad.

A few hours back, I got a call from the recruiter that I had cleared the assessment and tasks and said that they are looking for 2+ years of exp. I said I'm open to the SDE1 role and said she'll ask her colleagues. Idk what to expect now 😥 Amazon Amazon India

I’m also concerned about more states piling onto BlockFi and turning them into a bitconnect or cred or something. Unlikely i know but curious about folks thoughts.
