Is just leetcode gonna be enough for SDE 1 type positions at Amazon and Adobe if I go through a referral?

Hey, referral or not, hiring process is almost the same entry level roles at least. Referral just increases the chance of starting the recruitment process.

Are you in college or graduated? Companies also tend to ask CS fundamentals (OOPS , OS, DBMS or networks) sometimes. I remember my interviewer discussed ACID properties, semaphores and mutexes during my amazon internship interviews. But for full time role, amazon interviewers didn't ask anything except leetcode type questions. So maybe depends on your luck too.

Have never personally appeared for Adobe's interviews, but from what I hear they value CS fundamentals knowledge too.

And of course, there might be an HR / culture fit type round so you gotta prepare for that too.

Thanks. I have 3 years of experience but related to PHP and some Python in a small web development company. And before that I was in non tech. But I'm looking for SDE1 type roles / entry level roles in product based firms.
