Amazon recruiter reached out to me to interview for a few roles. Wasn’t looking to leave Big 4 but Amazon is a big name and would have to move to Seattle. Thoughts on culture and salary for a SFA role

one person i know who works at amazon got fat af after college cus of long work hours. another person said the only free food they ever got were bananas. another person said he only got dec 25 off during the holiday break, didn’t get dec 24 or new years off. if it were me, i would not leave pwc for amazon unless i got 2x the salary lol

Culture at Amazon can be team dependent but I've heard it's often as bad as Big 4. Although, at least you're actually getting compensated for it.

Re: Seattle, there's a couple things to think about. The Seattle Freeze is very real and many transplants struggle to form friendships. Also, if you're a single dude, it's perhaps the worst male/female ratio in the country.
