So, what you’re saying is you make money but work a lot? How’s that different from where I am today minus the actual money part? :)

When I interned there...which transparently was a while ago, it was a lot of hrs but not really the perks to make that work like expensing Rides home after a certain hour, etc

Slog till u die, make millions, take ur millions n leave when u r abt to die ... to enjoy ur millions.

Sounds a lot like consulting

Im assuming you are talking aws and not the book seller.

I have a few friends there...they all seem miserable but well compensated. Downsides are that there is a lot of political fighting and some back stabbing. They all seem super stressed and exhausted. The only thing that seems to keep them there is money.

They do not seem happy.

One upside, i did speak to an mba buddy that said that acn people seem to do well there

uplifting

So the rest of Amazon only sells books huh? Seems like you’re stuck in the 90’s...

I have friends at amazon, the pay is great if you are technical. Just like Netflix in that you will burn out in 3 years but you also will make big bucks.

Have heard through connections that the work life balance is as bad or worse than advertised. It’s a grindhouse.

Trying to decide to even take the second interview or not. I appreciate everyone’s feedback, thank you!
