Summary
I interviewed for an SDE 2 role at Amazon and was rejected. I faced DSA, LLD, and HLD rounds, with the HLD round proving particularly challenging for me.
Full Experience
Just Giving back to community.
Round 1 - DSA
- Minimum spanning Trees
- Sorted Metrix search
Round 2 - LLD
- Design Stock Broker Platform - Zerodha, Groww
Round 3 - HLD
- Design A chat system like Whatsapp.
Screwed up big time. Missed a big opportunity. Not feeling good. Got all standard questions and still panicked in HLD interview, couldn't explain proper design, was unable to provide clear DB choices and some deep-dives answers.
Will try back in 6 months.
