I’m interviewing for final round of the entry level area manager position at Amazon. I’m working on multiple stories related to the leadership principles. Can anyone provide me some tips regarding the role?
There are 16 leadership principle and I’m thinking of creating some stories around each but the thing that concerns me is what if the questions they ask are related to the same principle and I might have already used up my stories. Something like that. Can anyone please help? Amazon

Nobody's hiring now.
I think switching to IB is generally worth it from a comp perspective, but definitely worth asking yourself why else you want IB. That switch is not going to be easy.
I went to Associate in IB from Senior Associate in FDD. It is def more intense/ a bit of a learning curve but its more interesting work and comp is way better.

yes I know. but i’m still thinking going in to IB in a year or so or when the market picks up. again, wanted to weigh pros and cons (let’s say if the market is strong and everyone is hiring)

Nope, but I have an old coworker who works with an ex-FDDer in Spotify Corp Dev. They both love it!
Assuming you want to switch to IB associates? Mind sharing FDD manager comp range?

185k for HCOL. Yes, wanted to switch as an associate.
I was a sr associate in FDD, switched to another company doing Rx for a year, and have been in IBD no problem the last 4 years. The actual work can be interesting, but for the most part it’s kinda dry If you were to compare it to other types of advisory jobs out there.
Debating the same question, I am able to get IB associate interviews lately, but still questioning if it’s worth it when as an big4 FDD manager im already managing 200-220k TC with great wlb compared to IB. For reference im 28,M. Is the extra 30hours a week really worth it. FDD is also like fully remote.
