Tips from the candidate
I would recommend focusing heavily on LeetCode, especially arrays, strings, hash maps, trees, graphs, dynamic programming, and common Amazon-style problem patterns. I’d also practice explaining your thought process clearly while coding and be comfortable discussing time and space complexity. Finally, review Amazon’s Leadership Principles and prepare concise examples from your past experiences using the STAR method.
