What this tech interview template covers

Big-tech loops stack recruiter screens, behavioural or values rounds, role-related or cognitive rounds, and a hiring manager or bar raiser. This page points you at those workbooks so every question sits in one place with drafts and feedback notes.

Amazon maps to Leadership Principles; Google mixes GCA, RRK, and Googleyness; Meta and Microsoft emphasise values and growth mindset. Use STAR/SOAR/CAR and name the signal each story proves.
