Amazon Software Engineer interview experience

Got offer

Posted May 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied for an Amazon SDE 1 opening through the career portal, and the whole thing was driven by my own routine: I’d been reading interview experiences during college and decided to document my own afterward.

I had around two years of experience in FinTech, studied at a tier-2 school, and over time I’d worked through roughly four thousand DSA problems.

By the time I went through the process, I felt like my baseline was solid because the bulk of my preparation had been consistent practice with problem-solving patterns. I didn’t go into the write-up with a full round-by-round log here, but the signal that mattered for me was that I ended up with an offer.
