i have my interview for amazon SDE1 intern in 6 days (off campus). please suggest what to prepare. important topics, difficulty level and so on🙏

I’m 20, and lately I feel like I need a complete reset.

Not because something catastrophic happened, but because I look at my life and feel like I’m capable of so much more than what I’m currently doing.

If you had the chance to become a completely different person over the next few years, what would you actually do?

I’m not looking for motivational quotes or “wake up at 5 AM” advice. I’m looking for things that genuinely changed your trajectory—habits, skills, books, mindset shifts, career decisions, mistakes to avoid, anything.

I’m willing to put in the work. If something takes years, that’s okay. I just don’t want to spend years working on the wrong things.

If you’ve gone from feeling lost to building a life you’re genuinely proud of, what were the biggest things that made the difference?

I’d especially appreciate advice that most people don’t hear or realize until much later in life.

Thank you.
