Hey everyone, I recently went through the Amazon SDE intern interview process and didn’t make it. It was a tough experience, but also helped me realize what I need to improve. My main gap isn’t just solving problems — it’s communication: • Behavioral questions (BQ) • Explaining my thought process clearly during coding I’m graduating in Fall 2026, so I’m planning to spend this summer and the rest of the year preparing for 2027 New Grad recruiting: • LeetCode (with focus on communication, not just solving) • Mock interviews (coding + behavioral) • Building stronger, interview-ready projects I’m based in San Francisco, and I’d love to find people who are also preparing seriously. If you’re in SF and interested in: • In-person study sessions • Regular mock interviews • Practicing communication together Feel free to comment below — maybe we can form a small group. Would also appreciate any advice from people who improved their BQ / communication skills after interviews. Thanks!
