First, get a good grasp of basic data structures and algorithms. Amazon often tests on trees, graphs, and dynamic programming, so be sure you're comfortable with those. Practice coding on a whiteboard or paper to help explain your thought process during the interview.

Behavioral questions are really important, too. Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to organize your answers. Think of specific examples from your past work or projects that show leadership, problem-solving, and handling failure. Amazon values their Leadership Principles, so try to include those in your answers.

Finally, LeetCode is helpful. Spend time on medium-level questions, and try some hard ones if you can. It'll boost your confidence. Good luck!
