How long does Amazon take to release offer letter? It has been a week since the recruiter called and told me I was selected. I also have the salary breakup and date of joining given. Only offer letter is not yet released. How many days does it usually take for Amazon to release offer letter. Waiting so I can give resignation to my current organization. Thanks. Amazon Amazon India

Also: don’t talk just to talk. Enough people do that. Speak when you actually have something to add, people will notice.
Know yourself enough to know if you speak it’ll be listened to, or it won’t be. Dip your toe in the water and say one thing next meeting and see how it’s received… then you can try for more. The fact you’re asking this question means you’re an empath which is a great quality to have.
Speak up whenever you have something to add. If it’s an internal review, your CD probably won’t hit every point of rationale. Start with “yes, and.” “In addition to what CD said, we also like X, Y, Z.” These meetings are filled with people who talk but don’t actually say anything, so don’t feel self conscious about adding your one or two comments.
I’d talk in this meeting but this is an example of when what needed to be said already has been. See above comments above.
Start contributing. Remove your ego and be a student of the craft. Keep working and recognition will come.

Also, if you’re an introvert (like many of us), the first time is the hardest. It gets easier the more you do it.
And try not to take it too personally if you get shot down. Sometimes you’ll be wrong, and that’s ok. Sometimes you’ll be right, and still get overruled. But every you think have something valuable to add, add it. Eventually it will pay off.

A good question is sometimes better than a statement.
As a senior now, I used to simply unmute myself and say, “I’d like to add to that,” or I would use the raising hand feature in Teams
👆Whoa.
Raise your hand and wait for your turn to speak, if you really have something to say. Don’t if you just want to say something for the sake of saying something to make yourself feel important

I would say nothing unless I actually had something to say.
