I received Amazon offer in May. 180k TC. There are a ton of resources so I want to share which resources I used that helped me the most.

The actual interview questions I received appear in many posts and are included in the subset of preparation materials I include so I will not be discussing the actual questions I received.

By the time I did the onsite interview, I had completed about 400 Leetcode questions all time, and about 200 Leetcode questions in the two months of my job searching leading up to the interview.

  1. This leetcode post has good practice questions I would recommend doing all of them and there are some extras in the comments. https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/488887/Amazon-Final-Interview-Questions-or-SDE1 This post is great for the Online Assesment I would recommend completing all of these questions before doing the OA. https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/344650/Amazon-Online-Assessment-Questions

  2. Watching a couple of videos from this channel was helpful to prepare and understand what to expect for behavioral portion of interview. I also highly recommend "role playing" with another person to help prepare speaking out loud your anecdotes. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw0uQHve23oMWgQcTTpgQsQ

  3. Doing all the mock interviews from leetcode under Amazon, so every problem set available. This is good for practicing speed.

  4. In Cracking the Coding Interview, there are some OOP Design questions in their own section, I practiced about 5 of them within 48 hours of my onsite interview. (File System, Deck of Cards, Parking Lot, etc)

  5. I also found some interview experiences on leetcode as well as glassdoor, I wouldn't recommend going too crazy but doing like 5-10 of them should suffice in giving you an idea of the overall difficulty of interview questions to expect.
