Also, how does it compare to MBB hours? Really keen to know…
P.S. MBB hours = 65 per week

I love Amazon, although I’m biased because I’m at AWS. I get paid more than I did at MBB and I work like 20 hours a week

Hmm, super helpful!

A1 - what team are you with at AWS? Wondering if this is a specific team thats more relaxed

like

Internal teams are more relaxed than any client facing teams (field, sales teams) in my experience

like

People here are also so nice. Some of the super senior leaders are confrontational but honestly very similar to what I found at the senior level at MBB

The AWS guy/gal above also works 20 hrs. I am clearly doing something wrong here.

I'm a consultant in AWS ProServe. Average about 50 hours/week depend on project. Also need to hit other KPIs like supporting sales and internal contributions. Pay is good but I would love to join a team that only works 20 hours.

You can’t be client facing, go for internal teams.
