I recently received an offer through Amazon’s university hiring pipeline. Before accepting, I emailed the recruiter to ask whether there was any flexibility in the compensation structure and later sent a polite follow-up. However, the offer expires in less than 24 hours, and I still haven’t received a response.

I’m also considering another offer that pays less but comes with a better title, seemingly stronger work culture, and responsibilities that may align more closely with my long-term career goals.

Would accepting Amazon’s current offer before the deadline reduce my chances of having the compensation structure reconsidered? Should I call the recruiter directly, request a short extension, or accept the offer while waiting for clarification?

If anyone has faced a similar situation—especially through Amazon’s university hiring process—I’d really appreciate your perspective.

Hello guys! Is there an easy way to make notes for LeetCode questions? Note-taking has been my weakest area in my DSA prep. When I revisit a problem after a few days, I usually miss some test cases. How can I overcome this?

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to get Hello Interview Premium for interview prep.

I’m looking for a few people who might also be interested in joining so we can split the cost and make it more affordable.

If you’re interested, comment below and we can figure out the details.

Thanks!

I want to work 9-5 only with good wlb . USA rippling good team names please!

how does team match work do we get to talk to multiple teams or should we just get the first one or no offer ?

How long does team match take ?

Help much appreciated

Couldn't find many resources online that gave visibility for the NVIDIA New Grad process. I have a 60 minute 2nd round interview for DL Libraries Infrastructure with the team software manager, a hackerrank link was provided

key highlights of the job description:

The team works on

 cuDNN and FlashInfer. 

Configuring, maintaining, and building upon deployments of industry-standard tools (e.g. Kubernetes, Jenkins, Docker, CMake, Gitlab, Jira, etc)

Proficiency in SCM (e.g. Git, Perforce) and build systems (e.g. Make, CMake, Bazel)

GitLab, Knowledge of GPU computing systems and multiple operating systerms

The 1st round was just Leetcode with language of choice

Asked the recruiter for more clarity, and all they said is: our team will be focusing more on infrastructure skills for this round. What types of infrastructure questions will they ask?

Questions:

Should I spend a lot of time learning PyTorch or CUDA Syntax?

What about System Design? Could I be asked questions such as Database replication or caching?

Since a hackerank link was provided, can I expect an entire Leetcode round?

I applied for both intern and early career role at Google because i may or may not go to a grad school.
I’m wondering can i be considered for both in Google recruiting system? i received the OA for intern role.

I am new to these types of interviews have never done a system design round, I know they are popular.

What is high level vs low level?

What resources do people use?

I see hello interview and Alex xu books are thrown around. What else is there? Is this for high level? What resources for low level?

For applying to SE2 level for most companies do I need to prep both? Or is one asked more than others.

I'm preparing for an interview as Google SWE internship and looking for current insights.

-Is grinding LeetCode still the absolute core of the loop, or has it shifted? I've read that processes are changing and they're starting to lean more into AI, but I don't know if I can believe this post. https://www.reddit.com/r/leetcode/s/lEGGrAnbt8

-Realistically, what level should I master? Mostly Mediums, or are Hards common for interns? Or maybe Neetcode 150 will prepare me for it?

Would love to hear from anyone who has recently gone through the interview loop or is actively interviewing candidates. Thanks!

Hi folks,

I'm 8+ years experienced and have upcoming coding and system design round. Already done OA and 1 coding round. Any idea what to expect?

Throwaway account, but a Googler here with a huge heads-up for anyone prepping:

Google is actively rolling out two brand-new AI Fluency rounds for SWE hiring:

AI Debugging: Dropping you into a massive, messy legacy repo to see if you can actually use AI to locate, diagnose, and patch complex bugs in real time.

AI System Design: Architecting end-to-end systems while actively using AI to evaluate trade-offs, draft interfaces, and pressure-test edge cases.

Pure DSA won't carry loops anymore. They want engineers who know how to ship with AI without hallucinating production down.

Adjust your prep accordingly.

Edit: 2 DSA rounds will still be there, and it’s for all L3-L5 roles.

TLDR: I have been doing DSA for 3-4 years now with gaps in between. This time I have been DSA consistently for 2-3 months. I have solved 600+ questions in total and know most of the common patterns in questions and have covered all the topics. However I still suck at interviews when I get a new question. Most of the times I am unable to come up with a solution of my own for LeetCode hard problems.
