For coding practice, I mainly use LeetCode to cover a wide range of topics.
When preparing specifically for Amazon, I rely on Hack2Hire, LeetCode Discuss, and 1Point3Acres to find recent questions that have actually been asked. These platforms are super helpful for staying updated on the latest interview trends and patterns.
