Hey GG, Just got my offer letter yesterday & would like to thank you for the lovely videos. They were immensely helpful in preparing me for the interview process and I can easily say that they are the best on the Internet. Your videos cut through the noise and are bang on. Thanks once again for all the help !! 😊

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

Hey Varun- congratulations that's fantastic! And thank you for the kind words. I had a lot of help from the other coaches out there..they showed me what NOT to do 😂. Have a fantastic Amazon career. 🧙

[@sosyalant]

Congrats. Can you share your top 5 resources for loop prep? @varun chimwal

[@varunchimwal]

@@sosyalant Hey, Thanks a lot ! The best resource was from this channel hosted by GG. A few others which I found useful were kzbin.info kzbin.info Interview Genie (the free version) There are a lot of good tips on the Amazon jobs portal also. I also just looked at a lot of content on the internet, a lot and lot of browsing but the above five will be the top 5 according to me. Hope this helps. Good luck !!

Hey GG, Cleared the interview in the first attempt for the role of program manager at amazon, thanks a lot for all the tips and guidance that you have shared in your videos. They were very helpful for me to prepare for the interviews. I would surely recommend your channel to anyone who asks me how I cracked my interviews at amazon! Thank you once again :)

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

Congratulations

I just watched this for the second time - In awe of Rim! I can totally understand why Amazon hired her! GG, thanks for all your videos - they are really helpful.

[@lorrainekasimalla1036]

Just hearing about the interview process sounds intimidating.

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

The trick is to just take it one step at a time.

GG This is the video that help me dig out all the facts , data , and work experience that i use for my loop interview. Thank you so much GG & RIM !!!

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

Thx GG & Rim, the video was informative and motivational and the conversation was very friendly. Kudos to both of you.

Both of you are so positive, it’s a pleasure to watch this interview video

It's impossible not be happy and energised talking to Rim- she's utterly charming. Glad you enjoyed it.

Great video. Keep more coming. These are the best!

Thanks. I’ll try!

[@cengizacar1]

After listening this video I have the solid impression that whole process avoding you to demonstrate your naturality.

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

It’s about evidencing your experience.

[@cengizacar1]

@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 believe the situation is not that simple. You need to answer in 5 seconds for a particular case even if you ve done it ten times in your career. So, in a way your concern of time drives the whole process rather your effort of introducing yourself. What to do! Company culture

[@TH-jd8ft]

That challenge question sounds like it comes from most of these KZbinr spaces that say if you can walk in well researched and say "here's a problem I read up on, here's how I can fix that for you" you're nearly guaranteed the position and a great salary because most won't come in at that angle. I heard that on nearly every salary negotiation video I've come across

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

Your compensation offer at Amazon isn't hugely influenced by the hiring managers love of you. It's computed by a tool, bound by standardized ranges.

[@WayneLiu945]

You and Rim were awesome! I learned a lot from watching this vid.

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

Thank you- I’ll make sure to share this with Rim.

Good work GG !

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

Thank you

[@redforeman-404]

Great interview! Just discovering and sampling your channel. At 25:00 or so, I think what Rim is grasping for to describe the motive of such a question is "provocative" or "clever." I agree with her take that it's meant to throw off or "one-up" the person being questioned. You see it a lot on mainstream media interviews and KZbin content (not this channel of course LOL). This ought to be an automatic DQ for an interview. It's dishonest on it's face, and nobody with above room temp IQ will fall for it.

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

I agree with your assessment there.

[@sujayyaji]

Thanks GG, I loved this video in particular and I received my offer after being rejected the first time at Amazon. This is a great video and thank you for all the info

[@Jominy22]

Very interesting, unfortunatly my phone screen didnt go well. I was not really very well prepared, it took me 4 days to really understand the idea behind amazon interviews after watching videos, thinking now on waiting some time to re-apply in 3 or 4 months time. Meanwhile I will invest time in preparing my stories.

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

Preparation is EVERYTHING for and Amazon interview. Next time will be better. Good luck

[@ramatadedayoyusuf3129]

Hi GG! Wonderful insights here. I have a core telecommunications background too, though as an engineer and core technical roles but from my observation here in the US and in Amazon, they relate "technical" to only "coding" i have no coding experience asides a bit of SQL and i still see myself as a very technical person. Are they looking for only coders in Amazon tech roles? PMT in particular?

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

thanks for attending today's live- hopefully I covered off this question there.

[@tahirfaris7097]

If we get offer and should we ask them we will be joining them after a month notice or we should directly join asap.

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

You need to negotiate that with the recruiter

[@talquetal]

Hello GG! Thanks for the wonderful live session yesterday, I wanted to reach out to see if you would be able to share the recommended system design refresher course with me. I’m going on for a TPM interview in a couple weeks with AWS. I appreciate your help ☺️🙏🏽

Hey, great content. Is it always a panel interview or is it sometimes just one person interviewing?

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

It’s only 1 person interviewing at a time. Panel just means the final stage of the process sometimes called loop.

[@lakshminagapratyushaturlap9936]

Hey GG, I love ur videos on interviews... I had a doubt that for a software support engineer role, will there be 3 interviews like OS, Networking and Hr similar to interview for a cloud supprt associate???please clarify I heard my friend's saying software support engineer is same as cloud support associate? Is that true?

[@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503]

There are hundreds of different job families in Amazon many teams have their own nuances- I'm afraid I don't know exactly what process every team follows. Generically tech roles will have 3 rounds with a mix of technical tests and behavioral questions.

[@lakshminagapratyushaturlap9936]

@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Tq GG.. I've aced my online assessment but I'm worried about my interview, As they've mentioned interview with 1 Amazonian..I'm particular about the 3 or less interviews..that's it.. Anyway..Thanks for your fast reply GG!

I have been trying to watch some other videos on the list but some of them are not available, like this one "The importance of using your question time well", is it possible?
