Amazon's been on a bit of a hot streak lately. They've won some Cannes and have a few interesting spots out for their health and prime verticals. Anyone got insight on what it's like working there in-house? Or with them if you're on the agency side?

Wieden cracked the Prime brief wide open but now Amazon execute a lot of it in house. If you’re looking to originate ideas i wouldn’t work there but if you’re looking to make well funded sequels it’s a good move.

I think that work that actually wins is t from in house but from a partner agency, though the in house teams still do plenty.

-401k at 19500k x 2
-Roth IRA at 6000 x 2
-remaining $7833 x 2 in a brokerage account

Does this look good? Am I missing something? With discipline 2 people can save 1 million in 15 years?
