Time Going Too Fast?

Familiarity makes time pass faster, we can slow down time by exposing ourselves to as much new experience as possible.

By travelling to new places, giving ourselves new challenges, meeting new people, exposing our minds to new information, hobbies and skills, and so on. This will increase the amount of information our minds process and stretch out our experience of time passing.

Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can slow down time by making a conscious effort to be more “mindful“ of our experiences.

My interview experience of Amazon →

Firstly, a test on Hacker Earth took place in which there were 2 DSA medium level questions and 10 MCQ questions, based on CS fundamentals.

Afterwards, 3 technical rounds took place, which had questions from different topics.

First 2 technical rounds had DSA problems, 2-3 problems per round. Mostly, I was asked questions from Dynamic Programming, Trees and Graphs. Some CS fundamental questions were asked as well.

Third technical round had Low Level design questions, and a lengthy discussion on Design Leaderboard.

Finally, Managerial round took place and in that I was asked about my previous experience.

I received the offer after days of these interviews.

I had prepared DSA consistently, despite working on a full time role.

Being consistent and following a structured path to upskill can be the key for anyone to crack top product based companies.

After cracking 10+ interviews, here’s my three learnings that will be helpful for you.

The last one is helpful for anyone looking to change jobs to product based company as well →

1. Thinking out loud is necessary :

Whenever I wrote a program, I tried my best to explain it to the interviewer, and they focused a lot on how well I was doing that.

And every technical interview in any top company requires us to have good thinking-out-loud skills.

Now that many interviews are offline, learn this skill by explaining code to yourself or someone on a Doc or even a notepad.

2. Sticking to a platform helps with consistency :

Skipping platforms not only confuses the learner, but precious time is also wasted while doing so.

I followed mainly Leetcode for my practice and remained consistent there.

3. Contributing open source and doing projects helps stand out in interview :

I contributed to many open source projects, and learned a lot while doing so.

And it helped me during the interview, when I was extensively asked about these contributions and the skills I learned from them.

But if you can’t figure out what to do in prep, or where to start - it’s okay to take help too.

Ask your seniors, or learn from others experiences how they cracked top tech roles. And if you need some structured curriculum and personal guidance then I’ll recommend you checkout this platform - https://bit.ly/3YVE1xr
