# Amazon SDE I / AUTA APJ — Question Research Bible

Evidence bible: questions people said they were asked in **live** rounds, plus mapping traps, format flags, and source URLs.  
Not a coaching book. No solutions. No STAR scripts. No “practice tonight.” No invented Job **10454435** question list.

Banks this file compiles (do not wipe them): [`All_Rounds_Question.md`](All_Rounds_Question.md) · [`AllQuestion.md`](AllQuestion.md) · [`Round_2_Question.md`](Round_2_Question.md) · [`questions.md`](questions.md) ∪ [`questions1.md`](questions1.md) · [`source_seed_500.md`](source_seed_500.md) · [`website_attempt_log.md`](website_attempt_log.md)

## 0. Lock + how to read this file

**Lock (do not “correct” from stale files):**

| Person | Adarsh Vishwakarma |
| Role | Software Dev Engineer I, Amazon University Talent Acquisition (AUTA APJ) |
| Job ID | **10454435** — [amazon.jobs JD](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10454435/software-dev-engineer-i-amazon-university-talent-acquisition) — ADCI Karnataka, Java |
| Format | Zoom + Amazon Live Code (shared editor). “No compile / no run” is **Class C process** unless a first-hand IE states it (Saloni intern stated a live-code platform). |
| R1 | Already happened **13 Aug 2026** |
| R2 | **18 Aug 2026**, 60 min, same Zoom Meeting ID, second Live Code |
| Ignore | Round 2 = 14 Aug in `Amazon_SDE1_UTA_Interview_Investigation.md` and `extensive_research.md` |
| Job 10454435 questions | **Still none.** No public IE names this Job ID for a specific live-round question. |

**How to use this file:**

1. **§4** first if you want loops closest to a second 60-min Live Code after a first technical (UTA/AUTA / consecutive-day / two-live).
2. **§5** is the lookup index (question → mapped round → URL).
3. **§6** is the source of truth per interview. If §5 and §6 conflict, §6 + the URL win.
4. **OA is not a round.** OA problems are omitted from R1/R2/R3/BR.
5. **OA-as-R1 trap:** if they called OA “Round 1”, their “Round 2” → **our R1**; their “Round 3” / Tech Interview 2 / Day 2 → **our R2**. Flagged on the row.
6. Unnamed stays **unnamed**. Numeric LC/GFG id only if the candidate named it or linked a slug.
7. Intern = **INTERN** (§7). SDE II / US 3×60 / FTC 5-round / CN = **NOT MY FORMAT** (§8).
8. Reprints (LC + Medium + Reddit same loop) = **one** report.
9. Class C (§13) is never evidence a question was asked.
10. Reliability labels: `opened-body` | `snippet` | `403` | `timeout` | `duplicate` | `Class B`.

**This bible pass:** Fleet 1 compiled existing banks. Fleet 2 opened new bodies (GFG remainder, LC Discuss after 8464858/8463405/8306214, LinkedIn/Medium/DEV, official 10454435, AmbitionBox unique IDs, intern 2026, OOD/LLD). Parent merged.

## 1. Quota (seeded / fetched / opened-body / 403) — honest, no padding

Do not pad JD mirrors, Amazon-tag sheets, GFG listing cards × N, or Job 10454435 aggregators. Do not re-count `extensive_research.md` URLs as new inspections.

### Prior banks (already known)

| Sweep | Seeded / inspected URLs | Opened first-hand IE bodies | Honest note |
| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Seed file `source_seed_500.md` | **516** distinct (498 + 18 supplement) | seed written **before** visits | 150/150 hosts have a seed row |

| Prior `AllQuestion.md` | ~303 unique | mixed | short of 500 opened items |

### This bible pass (Fleet 2) — not additive to 500 without dedup

**Caps:** GFG article-body opens this Fleet 2 GFG agent = 25 (not listings). Glassdoor: still 0 bodies. Unique opened-body **this pass** is the cluster rows above; reprints across LC+IE.in+Reddit counted once in §6. **Do not claim 500 unique opened bodies for this bible pass.**

Hosts with ≥1 opened IE body across all sweeps: GFG, LC, LinkedIn, Medium, IE.in, DEV, DesiQnA, AmbitionBox, Reddit (old.reddit), Substack (intern reprint), Levels.fyi (NMF), campus bits/iitm/iitr/iitism/srm (intern/year-out). Glassdoor / TakeUForward / 1p3a: attempted, **I could not verify** bodies.

## 2. Job 10454435 — still none, search log

**Status: still none.** No public first-hand IE names Job ID **10454435** for a specific live-round coding / OOD / LP / GenAI question. **I could not verify** any 10454435-specific question bank. Never invent one.

## 3. Round map + OA-as-R1 trap (with examples)

**This loop’s map:**

| Our slot | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **R1** | First live interview (Zoom + Live Code) — already happened 13 Aug 2026 |
| **R2** | Second live interview — 18 Aug 2026 analogue |
| **R3 / HM / GenAI Fluency** | Third live slot when present |
| **BR** | Bar raiser when present |
| **OA** | Not a round. Omit from R1/R2/R3/BR |

**OA-as-R1 trap:** GFG and some Medium/LC posts number OA as “Round 1”. Then their “Round 2” is the **first live** (our R1). Their “Round 3” / Technical Interview 2 / Day 2 is the **second live** (our R2) **when** the loop had two live coding interviews after OA.

If the loop is OA + 3 (coding, **LLD/HLD**, HM): their “Second Technical” may be system design (Rate Limiter IE). Label loop type. **Do not call that UTA-default two-DSA.**

## 9. Caveats (evidence quality, reprints, garbled AmbitionBox, help-accounts, NDA)

- **OA-as-R1** is the most common numbering error. Copying a GFG “Round 2” into an 18 Aug bank without remap puts a **first-live** question in the second-live slot.
- **Loop type matters.** UTA two-DSA consecutive-day ≠ OA+3 where R2 is Rate Limiter HLD ≠ US 3×60 ≠ intern 6m.
- **Reprints = one report:** LC 7850431 ≡ IE.in 85; LC 7280347 ≡ Reddit 1o8c9p6; LC 8362604 ≡ 8362603 ≡ 8361451 ≡ 8361452; Reddit 1ueybmg ≡ 1ueybwz ≡ reddlx; LC 7320620 ≡ IE.in intern6m; LC 7124844 ≡ IE.in 6m 2026 selected; GFG sde-1-34 ≡ sde-1off-campus-2023.
- **AmbitionBox:** `sde1?page=2` and `page=3` return **page 1 interviewIds** (Duplicate). Garbled text stays garbled (N-Queens from `questionUrl` slug rid=6734385). Hub rollups are not a single IE. New unique IDs this pass are Class B unless role is clearly SDE I and the round is labeled.
- **Help-accounts:** DEV `net_programhelp` / InterviewShow mix roles on one account — Class B.
- **NDA:** LC 7643209 intern “cannot name exact questions”; GFG intern internship-on-campus-3 same.
- **404 / 403:** Jyoti LinkedIn historically 404; IE.in `/experience/amazon/` index 404; Glassdoor 21/21 this pass 403; old.reddit search JSON 403; TakeUForward Plus shell — **I could not verify** bodies; 1p3a Cloudflare.
- **Similar ≠ exact:** Swati “similar to Koko / Unique Paths / Rotting Oranges / Delete Leaves”.
- **Mapping trap:** LC 6369243 first-hand wording is delivery stations/parcels + classes + topo (and max-sum switching two sorted LLs). Do **not** stamp LC 962 Width Ramp or LC 210 Course Schedule II on that post. LC **210** is linked on **6282609**, which was Cloudflare this pass.
- **GenAI Fluency can be DSA** (Distance K, LC 7623949; intern oncampus Next Greater + stocks-2-tx).
- **Live Code no-compile** is Class C process unless the IE states it (Saloni intern).
- **CampusToCareer Tech 2 = APIs/caching** is invented, not first-hand.
- **chatgpt_share_6a7ecf7f.md** is Class C (HAProxy / coaching), not an IE.
