They will likely move staff from Seattle to “HQ2” first and then start local staffing. The 5000 jobs are over 5 years. It’s not like they will be hiring right away, it’s a gradual transition.

FYI, working for Amazon sucks. They expect everyone's life to revolve around their jobs and have work-work balance. Life is a luxury for when you retire. Their benefits are also not great, and don't expect to get any cool Google like perks. They always talk about how they are profitable on small margins so can't waste a cent. The Amazon name is the only reason people want to work for them.

^True, but Amazon is even worse. I also have the mentality that I'm not going to be a consultant long term so I think that's why I feel different about it. You also get some perks as a consultant.

Apply?

I lead a small marketing team of five people. Our company has been focusing on following a couple of different operating systems that put focus on "everyone should have a number" meaning that you should be able to give every employee a metric that when achieved on a daily or weekly basis, they know they were successful. An example is people in tech support should close 70% of tickets within 24 hours. Has anyone done this in marketing for creative positions like graphic or web design?
