About the Book

"This book has all the insider interview secrets from big tech companies. Direct to you from engineering and architecture leaders and a bar raiser. Imagine what will you do with the distilled insider interviewing wisdom from combined 20+ years at Amazon and Google" -- John L., SDE at Amazon "This book changed my perspective on behavioral interviews. I went from feeling unprepared to confident and ready to ace every question." - Priya R., Software Engineer at Google "The 100+ questions and scenarios alone are worth the price. It helped me structure my answers in a way that clearly communicated my impact and learning." - John Li., Engineering Manager at Microsoft "I've recommended this book to everyone in my team. It's a must-read for anyone serious about landing their dream job in tech." - Jaison D., SDE II at Amazon Acing Behavioral Interviews is a comprehensive and practical guide designed to help technical professionals excel in the most critical part of the hiring process-behavioral interviews. Whether you're preparing for a role at a top-tier tech company like Google, Meta, or Amazon, or aiming for success in any technology-driven organization, this book provides actionable strategies, real-world examples, and insider insights that will transform your approach to behavioral interviewing. Written by Sanjeet Sahay, former Amazon Engineering and Architecture Leader, with extensive experience on both sides of the interview table, co-authored by Abhishek Soni, Google Customer Engineer and former AWS Solutions Architect, and Saurabh Shrivastava, Amazon Bar Raiser and Senior Solution Architecture Manager at AWS, this book draws from 50+ years of combined experience in engineering, hiring, and mentoring candidates across the technology sector. Collectively, this team has hired 500+, so they know what they are talking about.
