  > basic reasoning skill you mean people who haven't done 2 months of leetcode before the interview ? Amazon interview is one of the easiest to hack with some patience and basic tips and tricks off of leetcode. Def don't need to know "os internals". Just go to discussion forum on leetocde, tons of ppl who got into amazaon doing this. Example: https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-experience/360829/amazon-sde1-seattle-july-2019-offer https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-experience/360829/ama... Don't kid yourself into thinking amazon is seeking some deep CS knowlege when all you have to do is "Bought a Premium and did whatever company's tag that I will be interviewing with." Whole thing is quite embarrassing TBH . Funny pppl think grinding leetcode is somehow superior to learning a tech stack .

    Well the sad truth is grinding Leetcode is much more likely to get you a job at big company where you will make 2x as much and work 1/2 as much as startup. You are right. The only thing that matters is how well you do on the LC like interview. If you do poorly but pass you get deleveled no matter how much experience you have. If you do well because you practiced the same question the night before you just massively increased your salary and rank because obviously you are senior.

  You mean memorizing geeksforgeeks? Endurance International Group had a better interview process.
