About me:\n- 2022 Grad\n- Tier 3 college\n- Information  Technology\n- Have Practiced DSA for more than 1 year.\n\nHow I applied:\n- Applied for 6 months internship role in October 2021, received the test link and cleared the test.\n- Amazon didn\'t call me for interview till Jan 2022 and then considered me for full time SDE-1 role.\n\nOnline Assesment-\n- Two Medium level DSA problems, couldn\'t actually recall the questions but one was based on priority queue and other was of tree.\n\nRound 1:\n- This round was scheduled in Feb, 2022. \n- Interviewer starts with his introduction and asked about mine. And then asked 2 DSA questions and expected to write production level code.\n- Question 1 was **Detecting cycle in linkedlist and then removing it**. \n- Question 2 was **Sort 012 array**.\nThis round was quite easy and interviewer was very supportive.\n\nRound 2:\n- This round was scheduled after 1 week.\n- Again same process as pervious one, only 2 dsa questions.\n- Question 1 was **Container with most water** (asked 2 approaches and told to code anyone)\n- Question 2 was **Spiral Matrix**.\nThis round was easy-medium for me.\n\nAfter Round 2 Amazon took 3 months in scheduling my next round.\n\nRound 3:\n- Interviewer was a Software Development Manager and started with his introduction followed by mine. Then he asked about my current and previous works and companies. And then some behavrioual questions, I can\'t recall mine but it was something related to, **Mention about a time when you over-delivered from some one expectations** and other was **Mention about a time when you failed**. \n- Then he asked me 1 DSA cum desiging question because only 30 mins was left. Question was **Serialize and Deserialize Binary Tree**.\nI struggled a bit in the question but interviewer was supportive and then I solved this one with 10 mins remaning.\n\nAfter a week I got an email from amazon that **I am selected for SDE-1 role**.\n\nAdvice: \n- Always communicate your thoughts with the interviewer. It\'s okay if you don\'t know the question just show the interviewer you are trying and just a step behind, they will probably help you.\n- Always ask some questions to your interviewer at the end.\n\n\nIf you are seeing this before an Interview, I wish you all the best\uD83D\uDC95 :-)\nFor everyone, **It\'s grind season, always give your best shot\u2764\uFE0F**.\n\nCompensation details : https://leetcode.com/discuss/compensation/2210128/Amazon-or-Fresher-or-SDE-1-or-2022\n\nPlease upvote\uD83D\uDE4C\n
