Hello everyone, last week I attempted once again the Amazon Interview. I was able to reach the final round, but I was not able to clear it. This time, I will not say my biggest failure, but I will say a good experience. I was able to develop my skills to very greater extent and I feel more stronger. I will again try in future andwill keep on trying.
I want to tell people, that interview failures are too part of life. I got affected a lot last time. I was feeling very low for couple of days, and due to me my family also got affected. I took lot of time to realise that there are many other things in my life that I should be happy and thankful for. I should not waste a precious time of my life staying unhappy due to interview rejections. And I believe hardwork always pays off and time will change one day! I will just keep on learning and trying.
So this time before the interview I told myself that whatever happen its fine. Its life and things never goes in a way you want. Even if I couldn't clear the round, I know I am much stronger than what I was before. The failure can give you bitter feelings, but they teach you a lot than a success. **Thank you to all the people who commented on my previos post. **
Today I got a call from Amazon HR, that I didn't clear the final round.
Let's talk about my latest interview. Due to NDA, I can't share exact questions. Sorry :(
Round 1: System Design
Round 2: Binary Tree Problem (Hard problem. Not on leetcode, asked very less number of time in Amazon interview)
Round 3: Based on Topological Sort
Round 4: System Design (Not on leetcode, problem statement was related to Amazon's internal working use case). The interviewer himself was not able to explian the problem statement neatly.
My Round 1 and 3 was very good. In Round 2, I was not able to solve the problem. Round 4, I was able to solve the problem, but interviewer was very confused himself. He was not able to answer my queries and I was not able to understand his requirements.
Thank you.
