Amazon on-site interview: I felt like I was brainwashing myself repeating the same story every hour

@AmyShackles how did it go? You recovered yet?

@toriyuno I honestly have no idea. Ended up stress crying during round 2 but ended up solving the problem anyway, some problems I most definitely didn’t solve, and I apparently came up with a rotating buffer as an optimizing solution without knowing what a rotating buffer was, so that was neat. How about you, how do you feel about it?

@AmyShackles haha, was it for a junior role? How did you like the behavioral portions?

I interviewed for a pretty technical senior role and didn't meet the bar. Not sure how I even got the interview XD

@toriyuno Yeah, it was for a junior role. I actually liked the behavioral questions, but maybe that was because I felt like that's where I could stand out as a candidate, having had a whole other non-technical career before getting into software development. And I found it less exhausting to not be solving technical problems for the entirety of an interview block. But maybe that's just me (or maybe the crying jag broke up the exhaustion). :P

@AmyShackles I'm super introverted, so behavioral drains me 4x as much as problem solving @_@

Hope you get the job :)
