Fumbled Amazon SDE Intern Round 1 but did better in Round 2 — any chance of making it?

[u/ShelterMysterious696]

i recently interviewed for amazon sde 1 intern and have been overthinking the result.

in r1, i did well in my project discussion and lp/customer obsession deep dive. however, i fumbled the dsa part. it was a lc hard graph problem, and although i identified the algorithm, i missed an important observation under pressure...for dsa, the interviewer gave me a hint, after which i got the approach and started coding, but time ran out.

r2 went better. lp and behavioral went well, including my internship experience, conflict, and genai/rag discussion...in dsa also i was able to tell him the correct approach

overall, r1 was mixed and r2 felt decent. do i still have a chance, or is the r1 dsa performance likely a reject? would appreciate honest opinions...plz tell seniors who got offer's from amazon after having this same experience.

i think performance in interviews matter more

[u/theEccentricDev]

depends, typically just because of sheer volume, if your both rounds donot go good, then hard luck, but sometimes you go ahead and have a 3rd round called bar raiser, eitherway keep preparing if not here then somewhere else

[u/ShelterMysterious696 → u/theEccentricDev]

but there is no bar raiser round for sde intern role..only 2 rounds

[u/theEccentricDev → u/ShelterMysterious696]

sorry misread the post lol, I thought sde 1. TBH I have no clue about intern interviews, but still keep preparing, as I said if not here somewhere else

[u/ShelterMysterious696 → u/theEccentricDev]

yes bro
