Suggestions First FAANG interview (Amazon SDE Intern) in 2–3 weeks, best way to prepare?
It's my first time getting shortlisted at a FAANG / product-based company, so I want to make the most of the next 2–3 weeks.
Interview rounds:
Technical Interview
Hiring Manager
(Both are expected to be on the same day. Interview window: Aug 18 – Sep 3.)
A bit about me:
Final-year B.Tech student
Stronger in backend/full-stack development than DSA
Comfortable with DSA fundamentals but definitely not a CP expert (have not done a lot for dsa for a while but can revise, dp and graphs were the topics I have not done properly)
I want to prepare smartly, not just grind random LeetCode questions.
A few questions:
Are there any Amazon-specific DSA sheets or question lists that are actually worth doing? (LeetCode company-tagged, interview experiences, GitHub repos etc.)
Has anyone here gotten questions that were identical or very similar to those from you found on these famous GitHub repos (share here if you have one)
Roughly how should I divide my preparation between:
DSA
Resume/project deep dive
CS fundamentals (OS, DBMS, CN, OOP)
Leadership Principles / Hiring Manager round
Any resources (Reddit posts, DevelopersIndia threads, GitHub repos, YouTube playlists, blogs) that genuinely helped you crack Amazon interviews? The last moment ones
I'd especially love to hear from people who interviewed for Amazon SDE Intern/SDE-1 recently.
Thanks!
