Depends on the team. Almost certainly better than investment banking, but on average substantially worse than other FAANG. Between 45-80 hours a week is what I've hear from peers.

I am not close enough to Amazon to know the specifics. Don't believe all the blanket Amazon hate, but they gained that generally negative reputation in tech for a good reason. My view is that their hiring bar is lower, they pip and fire at a much higher rate, they're less cushy than almost all major tech (like a Walmart mentality with Google on the opposite side of spectrum), and are working on hard problems. It's definitely a good opportunity and worth serious consideration

Hello all,

I've just started my new role as HR state manager for a large international law firm.

I'm a male and my admin is female. After working with her for a week and discussing it with my wife, I think my admin is a little smitten for me.

I have no feelings towards her whatsoever and have been nothing but very professional in all interactions.

Was wondering best way to set boundaries from the start?

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up
