guidance counselor 2.0 w/eric yager, software development manager at amazon
guest: eric yager, software development manager at amazon
- put boot camp capstones and side projects on your resume framed as real experience, not hobby work
- pick side projects that show full backend depth plus some frontend, since full stack work leans mostly backend
- expect data structures and algorithms questions in big tech interviews even if you rarely use them day to day
- practice talking about yourself out loud since interview skills and keeping an interviewer engaged take real reps
- if you cant land your target role at your target company, get in through an adjacent role and transfer internally later
