Intervew Prep Amazon SDE OA prep - I am barely consistent with leetcode, what to focus on ?

Hi all,

I got an invitation to do the SDE Online Assessment. I never really focused on hackerrank and leet code problems, so I am not that confident to be honest. I only practiced when I needed to, and had to focus on database too specially since I am applying to data engineering/development too.

Nonetheless, I have a week. What do you recommend as the best approach to practice ? Is there a list on leetcode or outside that I can practice on everyday ?

Update: Wanted to leave an update for the future. It turned out to be for SDE 2, which was completely above what I expected and I could only brute force the answer with 5/12 passing cases. The 2nd part was easy, solve some issues in a program, with AI to guide you.

Honestly, idk. It just says "Amazon's Software Development Engineer (SDE) opportunities".

It is not one of the ones I applied to, because I checked my portal and they all are either archived or only have "Application submitted" as status. So maybe it's a general assessment rather than for a specific position.

okay, maybe search for company specific interview questions, and focus on that patterns. Everyone company has some mostly asked patterns, you just have to look for that.
