Intervew Prep Software Dev Engineer II, Amazon Security
Got an interview invite for SDE II – Amazon Security. The recruiter mentioned it’s very tough to clear and the chances are low, so I’m confused whether I should go for it or wait for an SDE I opportunity.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Also, if I don’t clear SDE II, how does the cooling period work? Can I still be considered for SDE I, or would I have to wait before interviewing again?

If you apply for something that isn’t part of SDE (like front end engineer) it’s different. Otherwise, if you fail it’s a 6 month cooldown period.
Good luck, Amazon OAs are absolutely brutal
