2. Obviously have good reasons for why Amazon and why that team,etc
3. For cases, always start with the customer

Heard Amazon does papers in Word for meetings instead of decks in PPT. Then at the beginning of the meeting, everyone spends the first 10 mins or so reading the paper.

I heard that if you’re working 40 hours be prepared to get fired

Culture is quite intense and they don’t have the same benefits other tech companies do. My sister works there

What about Microsoft culture?

Never realized how bad Amazon was until FB. Is it the case at all levels?

I hated the experience. They wasted my time and could have asked some additional questions to rule me out before spending the day there in a dehumanzing interview process... Good luck.

Have a ton of friends who work there; your experience is 100% dependent on what team you join. I've heard some pretty awful stories..

This is all really inspiring...

My friend is wondering how to approach a raise conversation with her new boss.

A data analyst on her team left so she’s been taking over that position on top of her regular job (spending ~50% of her time) and working a lot more now (40 hrs a week to 60 hrs). She’s not really interested in the data work, but she’s happy to do it if she can get a raise. How can she best approach this with a new manager that just joined 1-2 months ago?

I’d like to buy a bond etf through a brokerage account and would like to know how does the dividend and dividend yield work exactly.
For BND, the dividend is 0.15 and the yield is 2.2%. Does it mean that for every BND I purchase I will receive 0.15 USD on a yearly basis?
And are these dividends distributed yearly from the date the bond etf is purchased? Or are they pro-rated somehow? Also do the dividends fluctuate with bons etf price?
