What most excites you about your new job?

The scale and pace of Amazon and the great opportunity to grow, learn, and work with other talented people.

Where were you previously?

I was TPM at Northern Trust Corporation (a financial services company).

What was your preparation strategy?

I spent about 300 hours preparing, spread over 4 months. First I went to YouTube for videos on the Amazon leadership principles. Then I used Amazon interview whizz academy to work with a bar raiser. They shared info on what to do and how to articulate. Then I used IGotAnOffer's Amazon TPM interview email course and worked with 3 coaches. I also got some certifications to refresh on certain topics and tackle some challenges I faced.

What was the hardest part of the whole interview process?

Delving really deep into certain projects - you need to draw on real experiences. I had to go through my past projects in very fine detail to prepare for in-depth questions.

Do you have any final tips for other candidates?

I'd recommend doing many rounds of mock interviews to practice talking about the many different projects and situations that you'll need to draw from. You need to have depth and width in the examples you have. Also, don't be isolated in your preparation: practice with friends, get feedback, and brainstorm together.
