Amazon SDE2 recent interview questions

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am a JAVA backend dev, currently in TCS with 5.5 yrs of exp. I want to switch to a Product now. My dev skills are good. I have worked in few projects. With this many years of exp, the expectations are too high now, System Design, Kafka, Jenkins, Docker and DSA on top of that. I don't know how to start, once I start preparing DSA I feel like I am missing on reading system design and other stuff. Also, I don't feel confident about my DSA skills. Are there any devs here who were very bad in DSA but are very confident now. Please share your experiences in comments. Since I already have so many years of exp, this is my last chance to switch to a good product company. Please guide.

What all things do I need to learn to prepare for a SDE-2 role with a salary greater than 17LPA as a Java Developer?

SDE-2 Preparation Strategy

I have interview in Google for Senior developer. If anyone is from there or has given the interview, then can you guys help me with the preparation. The first round is DSA one.

I am currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Applications from GGSIPU, Delhi. Our placement session is about to start in a month. The average placement in our college is 4-5 Lakhs. I love web development and have built a few full-stack projects too. Now I am confused about what I should do. Should I improve my web development skills and apply for development roles off-campus, or should I work on DSA and focus on the campus placement? I am confused because currently.

DSA OR FULL STACK DEVELOPMENT ???

Hello  applied for the usi product Engineer role in Deloitte what about the DSA questions will they concentrate more on DSA because I have no idea of solving DSA but can visualise the logic and having 4 days in my hand can I crack the interview

Deloitte Usi Product Engineer role

Hey 

I joined infosys in oct - 2022 and now it’s been 1.8 months. My tech stack is MEAN stack but I was on bench through the year, recently got into a project but for only 4 months. I developed and learned by my own and gained a better knowledge on angular.
Now the situation my company has made for me that I need to switch asap, within a month or two.

Can anyone suggest me how to prep specifically so that I get offers from other company.

My DSA skills are gone and feel like I need to learn again from basics.
I have knowledge about angular.

Can anyone suggest me how much DSA I should learn and focus right now to clear interviews.
I’m planning to get a grasp over python and start doing DSA questions in that plus polishing my angular skills too. 
I have basic knowledge of node.js MongoDb too.

Will I’ll be able to switch within this time frame?

Please can anyone guide me through it so that I can plan smartly and can switch.

Your help will be really appreciated.

How to prep for switch?

I will be using a scale of 10 for better quantification. 


Python : 7/10
SQL: 7/10
PowerBI: 9/10
ML(Pandas): 6/10
PLSQL: 6/10
Advanced Excel: 8/10
Azure Databricks + DataFactory : Started learning
Apache Spark: Started learning
Communication skills: 9/10

Prior Work Ex: 1.8yrs as a PLSQL developer (started off as a fresher) + one SAP internship of 4months + one Data analyst internship of 1 month

Aspiration : Data Engineering Role

1. Is the above techstack enough to get me a good data engineering role? Will I be able to clear the technical rounds at companies like accenture, IBM etc with this profile? I have heard the barrier to entry for data engineering is higher than that of data analyst.

2. Do I need to learn DSA?

3. What salary range do I fall in with this profile? 


I seek your honest answer. I feel lost. 

Also, should I focus more on improving my cloud skills or shall I be more competent with my python skills? Which one would pay me off in a better sense financially? I certainly can not focus on all the tools at once.

Rate My Techstack: Potential Data Engineering Roles

Data engineer

I am working as a front-end developer in a startup for 2+ years and i want to switch to a different company.

The problem is I have only worked on the frontend in my current job though my designation is SDE in my offer letter. I don't have much knowledge about backend either.While applying for jobs the JD says i should have work experience in backend tech so in this case should I apply to those jobs or not.There are very few job openings for frontend and everyone is asking for full stack.

Will my interviewer asks questions for backend also though I have not worked on it? Or should I only focus on DSA.I have a good knowledge on frontend.

Should I just focus on frontend and DSA for my interviews? I am planning to Target FAANGM and good product start-ups

Experience - 2+

Tc - 9.5(8.5 + 1 bonus)

Are frontend devs not eligible to apply for SDE roles?

I just think we should skip DSA rounds for existing FAANG employees.

I understand the importance of DSA rounds and is pretty much required for SDE 1 roles as their major work is to code. But for higher levels, it starts becoming less and less relevant and pointless.

In most companies DSA is to understand the basics of the candidate, can they write code, explain the problem and thought process. Now most FAANG interviewers look for the same thing. Now once I have cleared one that means I have proved myself to be someone who meets the bar, doing it again is just like "Well, have you continued grinding leetcode after getting the job". You can check design competencies, problem solving in design, mentoring etc. but why ask DSA and go through that gruelling interview process.

Your thoughts?

Skip DSA rounds

Could you please list out IT companies/roles where they don’t ask about DSA in interviews?

Non DSA IT companies interviews

I have interviewed few times in SAAS domain, and in System Design round, I feel that I lack some basic understanding sometimes. It is obvious because I have not worked in such domain, but my Tech Interviews include things like Multi Tenancy, CQRS and what not.

Any suggestions, resources, blogs that can help me ramp up for SAAS based System Design Interviews?

Currently working as SDE 1 and looking for SDE-1 opportunities only.
Asking what kind of things they ask us in interviews?
And how much they dive into them?
Like 
DSA is important. Except that what should I start preparing on?
Do companies really ask System design? If yes 
What they ask lld or hld?

What does an interviewer expect from a candidate who has less than 2 yoe?

DSA questions are asked in Microsoft interviews for Azure data engineer roles as well?

Hello, I have an interview coming up next week with Oracle for Site Reliability Developer 3. I was told that there will be 5 rounds. 1 screening, 3 technical, 1 HR. 

My DSA skills are pretty average so I was wondering if anyone had any past interview experience to share for a similar role at Oracle.

I would like to know what kind of coding questions would be asked in technical rounds.

Looking for Site Reliability Developer interview experience

Recently gave amazon interviews for theirs ads team. My DSA round with LP went good and the lld and hld round also went fine as i was able to come up design in HLD covering metric’s monitoring and fail safe and in LLD i was able to cover p0 and p1 requirements. Got rejection after 4 days and recruiter said HLD and LLD rounds were not upto the mark.
Folks i wanted to check where did i made mistake?
I checked with interviewer also if he/she is fine with what i was suggesting and they were okay with it

Amazon SDE-2 interview experience

I am trying to switch to a Data engineering role in a product based company. Please suggest some great practices and strategies to learn DSA with python and SQL to crack interviews at product based companies. 
 I have experience working in AWS data orchestration where I worked on step function creation, Glue, lambda, event bridge. Also used version control like GitHub. 
 Please suggest a way to crack interviews at product based companies for data engineering roles.

Strategies for learning DSA with python, SQL, Spark

I have 6 YOE as QA. First 3 years I was into manual testing and now since past 3 years, I am an SDET with tech stack- python, pytest , playwright, selenium. I am planning for the job switch now. I have not used much of DSA in my work. However I understand DSA is a must to clear interviews. 

I need help in preparation. From where and How to start the preparation? 

Please update your strategies , so that it will be helpful for all those preparing for interviews.
