Hi, commented in this thread to OP too, it might be that OP needs to unlearn some tricks. Amazon is a place that's a little more hire fast - fire fast and I tend to see more people go there with tricks or gaming the prep for interviews. Google is a place that wants to hire exceptional people and keep them, and the process is quite hard to game - they are evaluating you on multiple dimensions and not just the raw code being correct/optimal. Of all comoanies, Google is one of the ones that's looking for strong engineering thinking over just code, and you can't game your thinking without being a becoming an actual better thinker haha.
