My best friend at AMZN is 31 with a communications degree from Missouri State University and is making $650k as an L8 site leader.

D1 - it adds up perfectly, he has 10 yoe at the warehouse right out of college. There are many examples of homegrown people like this at AMZN. You can just Google l8 site leader profiles on LinkedIn to confirm. I’m not making it up. $650k is peanuts to Amazon and has nothing to do with how much partners get paid in the big 4, they’re worth $2 trillion. 😂. I exited D after 8 yoe and thought I was making a ton at $270k when I jumped to AMZN but after being here for 5 years I realize that is nothing in this FAANG world.

Not necessary, but they help, in the sense that MBA plus xyz is still preferred over xyz alone. Usually, a few additional years of directly relevant work experience plus maybe management experience should suffice.

Great, thanks for the advice! Do you think it’s hard to get manager experience without an MBA?

In my industry, it was very rare to see someone without an advanced degree make it to director or higher. Yes, there were some without it but they were the exception.

Yes

At my F100 firm, nope. Off the top of my head, I believe our firmwide stats are something like 45% of middle management+ has a MBA.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

I am currently a medical biller and coder that just graduated. I am currently in an entry level position because I am still studying to get certified. I will have a year's work of exp in July and will sign a contract for another year because my boss is training me in more I don't know.

I'm wondering what the pay is for someone in my position without certification. I live with family and want to afford to move out but I am single and only make $18/hr. Is that standard or am I being underpaid?

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

A new analyst has joined our team and we often give them models/ slides but don’t always ask them if they know all of the accounting principles to be able to make minute adjustments to EBITDA or free cash flow. We are a FIG platform, so the knowledge required is relatively unique as well and not as easy to google as corporate transactions. Is there a better way to coach the analyst short of just throwing them in the deep end to figure it out or should we wait for them to ask us for help?
