Over the next 5 years which company do you imagine being more successful? My bet is Amazon.

My classmates who interned there didn't like it. It's a particular culture, very cost-centric, and apparently didn't really feel like a West Coast tech firm. However, the comp is good, good brand name. If you think you can make PM at Google I'd do that instead, but Amazon is still decent.

Take it if you 1. Don't want to consulting ever again 2. Don't need a two-year break 3. Can handle that culture

I always feel these product manager roles at Amazon , despite being tech, lend themselves closer to a cpg track (unless in AWS).

My friends love it there. Challenging - sure, but super interesting work. It's more like I-banking than consulting. Hope you are a good writer.

@McK1 why do you say take it if you never want to do consulting again?

@SC1 I banking because of the hours? If so, can you quantify?

@PWC2 it would be focused on technical products

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
