Amazon software engineer interview
I&#x27;m all for interview prep, but this sounds like a fairly standard tech company loop.<p>I usually take a few days to brush up on algorithms and structures for the first one I do in a batch, and have some canned answers for the personal questions, but otherwise go in with what I know. Some of that&#x27;s experience now, but I don&#x27;t remember any point in my career where I&#x27;d have done something this extensive. I hope the poster doesn&#x27;t feel they need a month&#x27;s prep every time they want to go test the waters on the job market!<p>I do agree with the frequent recommendations for Cracking the Coding Interview. As a lead who interviews frequently, my biggest tip is to be honest about what you do and don&#x27;t know--take what you do know right to the limit then talk about how you&#x27;d figure out the rest given normal professional time and resources.<p>I&#x27;m not usually grading someone on whether they can solve my specific problem so much as whether I think they&#x27;re someone I can work with while they do it. That said, if it&#x27;s on your resume you&#x27;d better be able to talk intelligently about it to whatever level makes sense for your experience. I definitely probe around that stuff to figure out if I can trust the rest.
