"The Bar Raiser is there to fail you." Their job is to find the reason Amazon shouldn't hire you. I understand why candidates think that. The Bar Raiser asks the toughest questions. So it must be true, right? Well... I'm Nick, and I was an Amazon Bar Raiser. And today I'm going to show you what the scariest interviewer in your loop is actually trying to do. ⸻ 🌟 WHY WATCH? Hi, I’m Nick! 👋 I'm a former Amazon Bar Raiser and Bar Raiser Mentor. For seven years, I helped decide who Amazon hired, and trained other Amazonians to do the same.
