The real best thing about your content is that you put me at ease. You talk about the topic of the Amazon application with a calmness that transfers to me. I've done two rounds and tomorrow I have the last interview with the bar raiser. I'm super nervous because unfortunately English is not my first language. No matter how it turns out, you've taken away my anxiety and i wanted to thank you for that
@@DanCroitor Did not went well :( But still big fan of your youtube videos - I still learned a lot and will take these tips for interviews in other companies :)
I feel like my Bar Raiser threw some really easy questions to me. Didn't ask me anything about my failures and didn't seem to dig deep into my answers. On the tech part, I was talking out loud of what I was thinking and he was just silent most of the time....
Also, if Hiring Manager (in whose team you are going to) says a Strong Hire and others give a mixed reaction, what happens then ? If candidates don't pass the onsite interviews (while Hiring Manager thinks the candidate is Strong Hire) then the Hiring Manager can never fill/backfill his / her team ...
It's possible - usually senior, not from your future team; this being said, it's not very important to know this. (and I've been told there can be even 2 bar raisers)
Bar Raiser will be Driving the discussion on hiring or Hiring manager ? If Bar raiser might be interested and if hiring manager itself not interested what can be the result ?
To the point: Bar raiser is a process when they last minute switch out an interviewer. That person, plays the role of: Hey I did not get a chance to read your written example please catch me up. Then asks you to role play it.
@@DanCroitor I didn’t provide an example for my most complex project. I kind of froze. It was my fourth interview of the day. Sure enough I got the news that I was good for Amazon but not at the L6 Finance role I looped for. So now I’m waiting to see about the L5 position on the same team.
I had my bar raiser round after qualifying the first 3 f2f rounds as they were elimination rounds. I was asked a lot of CS fundamental questions which I managed to answer. I was asked 2 coding questions. I had to give the approach for one questions(which I did correctly) and for the second question, I told the correct algorithm but failed to write a condition for its proper working. The interviewer initially told me that this code will break while I was writing the code. On hearing this, I said yes because I am yet to write the base conditions. After this, I checked the code 2 times but still failed to notice that I have forgotten to write a condition. The interviewer took the paper, looked at it for 10-15 secs and told me that he was done from his side. Will this error/bug in the last code actually push me towards rejection? I did fine in the previous coding rounds but I am quite anxious because of the last coding question in the bar raiser :/
@@brotherbig4651 haha...didnt see this comment chain till the last reply came in...anyway you are right...didnt make it after the bar raiser unfortunately

That's interesting to hear, and useful too :) I hope your interview went well.

@@musicfan12335 what went wrong?
Thanks a lot Mr. Croitor! Your videos helped me to get an offer. Without them I would not make it.
Dan, thanks again for such insightful and actionable narration. This made a huge difference for me personally.
love it! still humming this song and feel so proud to be a bar raiser with super powers
This is a good video trust me!
It actually matches to the way bar raisers conduct/ approach the interview 👍
I appreciate that!

The only comment that brought my heart beat down. Coz, everywhere I see, people say it is tough to deal with a bar riser.
Thanks croitor, helped me land a job 😊
can you share types of questions asked?
Can we tell from personal life experience as well of answers should only be professional/work related?
I am really enjoying watching this video and being intellectually stimulated. It must very fun to have a conversation with you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Understand the bar raiser is from a different BU but what about the other 4 ? Are they from the same or related team ?
Can we refer or name the leadership principle in our answer?
*Yes thank you very useful!*
Also, if Hiring Manager (in whose team you are going to) says a Strong Hire and others give a mixed reaction, what happens then ? If candidates don't pass the onsite interviews (while Hiring Manager thinks the candidate is Strong Hire) then the Hiring Manager can never fill/backfill his / her team ...
Nice and useful. Thanks!
Hello Dan - is it possible to identify the Bar Raiser while going through their interview ? Are they the senior most ?
It's possible - usually senior, not from your future team; this being said, it's not very important to know this. (and I've been told there can be even 2 bar raisers)
@@DanCroitor Only 1 actual bar raiser. There's also a BRIT (bar raiser in training). I'm a BRIT right now.
@@kevinbs05 thanks for the insight!
@Greg Eremeev it doesn’t make a difference - just do your best and you’ll do amazing.
Very useful and informative
Good luck!
Bar Raiser will be Driving the discussion on hiring or Hiring manager ? If Bar raiser might be interested and if hiring manager itself not interested what can be the result ?
it's a no. For you to get a yes, the hiring manager and bar raiser need to agree on hiring you. Any other result besides that means a no.
How to handle a situation when you do not have an answer for the question.

@@DanCroitor thank yo uso much. Is there a video about "Bar raiser interview for Operations Manager" ?

Hello Dan .. If bar raiser is from different team , how can he ask techinal or skillset questions for the person who is taking the interview
i have bar raiser interview as the first round for one of the company called NIUM, how to face it,thanks in advance
Is bar raiser round generally the last one in the loop?
Usually yes, that's how its been in the case of all my friends who got through
Nope.
I think I bombed the bar raiser round. Ugh.
Can you detail?
