What are the most boring jobs out there?
Does anyone have any insight into accounting roles at Amazon, particularly in the Arlington/DC area? An Amazon recruiter reached out about accounting roles, but the posts in this bowl are about Seattle. Trying to decide if the culture/wlb/pay is even worth looking into since it sounds like the interview process is intense. Base pay seemed pretty low in other posts, but they were a year old and for Seattle.

You will limit your learning opportunities and future career growth with this position. Unless you are fine doing A/P role forever
Your role does not limit your learning opportunities - you create your own opportunities to learn. You will have exposure to cross functional opportunities and operations in a a large AP shop - GL/GA, fixed assets, purchasing function, controls and compliance, policy, corporate finance. You will also have an opportunity to expand your leadership and project management improvement skills that are transferable. The most important part is to ensure you are signing on with a company that has growth opportunity.
I have a coworker working as AP for the last 18 years. She is happy and her focus is family. Why not
What AP managers making 150k wtf lol
Big companies F500
How many years have you been in PA? On the one hand, you risk pigeonholing yourself into AP for the long-term (but maybe you’re Ok with that). On the other hand, if you have a couple years of PA experience, then go do this for a couple years, there are probably other GL accounting type jobs, or internal audit, you could then jump to after that. But without more extensive PA experience (and then going straight to a AP specific role), you’ll limit jobs in SEC reporting and some financial reporting, and definitely technical accounting. But again, if those fields aren’t your ultimate goal, then no big deal.
Limit career opportunities but good work life balance
If you want out, why not?
