Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The online assessment and onsite interview both went reasonably well. I had productive conversations and performed well on three out of four questions. However, I experienced a "brain fart" on a LeetCode Easy problem, which proved to be a dealbreaker.

When informing me that I didn't get the job, the recruiter presented it as good news and bad news. The "good news" was that I could reapply in six months, instead of the usual two-year waiting period for Bezos's esteemed company. I felt quite honored.
