Amazons excessive interviews are an awful candidate experience. Why do they think this will help them win top talent in this competitive environment? Especially with their public cultural issues…? Lots of great paying companies without having to take a day off from work to interview! It’s overkill

I think in many cases “winning” top talent isn’t necessarily their goal. Their process selects for certain behaviors, willingness to jump through those hoops, etc. It’s likely not a process that is competitive with other FAANG (or whatever the acronym is this week) companies that pay in the same ballpark, but compared to many other companies, including tech companies, it represents a lot of money. The value of bringing in a person who is good enough to do the job and happy with the pay because it’s so much higher than their last job is what’s most important to them.

I'm currently working as an electrical designer in the MEP industry. I really don't like it and I'm working towards a career change which I'm actively applying for and getting certified etc. However, it's been a slow process and I'm currently underpaid where I am so would it be wise to make a lateral move to another MEP firm simply because they offer me more money while I still look for a different job separate from this field? Or just tough it out?

Seeking advice: I am a young sales consultant and sales engineer working for a tech startup company. I have 6 years of sales experience. And I have been helping run my family business for the past 10 years. I was intially interviewed for a senior account executive position at a $70k offer. Instead they told me I needed more training and hired me as a Junior account executive at a $50k salary + commission. Today is my 6th month mark and I have done very well. And no talks of a promotion / raise..
