Applied back in late Oct

Virtual Interviews (3 rounds) - 2/12/20

1. Tree traversal question (medium), I remember I used a queue for this**

2. The interviewer asked me to make serveral classes, and write some functions for each of them

   • I think time and space complexity were important factors here. The prompt the interviewer gave has multiple solutions but its your job to figure out which data structures to use.

3. This is probly a design question round, he gave me a prompt. I'll try to summarize it:

   • There are certain number of Amazon lockers and Amazon packages. Lockers and packages has length, width, height attributes.
   • You are responsible to write an effcicient algorithm to put packages into appropiate lockers, and then figure out the best way for customers to pick up the package.
   • I did not really study for design questions, so I answered his question in codes, he seemed to like it.

Waitlist email - 2/14/20
Offer letter - 3/3/20

After thoughts:
Leetcode helped me a lot for the past few months. I want to give back to the LC community.
I was lazy during my junior year and I did not land an internship.
Since last fall, I applied to probly 250-300 applications and started LCing (rn at around 180 questions)
For those who are struggling to find a job, keep applying, tbh the whole finding a job process, I hate this part the most but you have to go through it.
Overall, be brave and have courage. Believe in your skills!
The interviewer is your guide, don't be afraid to ask questions. Be collaborative!

Lmk if you have any questions, i dont include LPs because there are many resources posted already
