Dumb question but created an AWS account for learning at my last firm which is registered to that firms email. I barely actually used it and was going to create a new one to learn this time.

However I was wondering - does it cost money to use AWS? I have a fear that I’m being billed/charged to an old firm AWS account I don’t use and do not want to get in trouble…

Yeah, it costs money if you created resources that cost money. Did you put in a personal credit card? Or any credit card?

You can change the email that the root account is connected to and update billing to your personal card. This should make it a non issue. Alternatively, you make a new AWS account with your personal credentials.

In terms of cost, there are a lot of free services on AWS that you can use to learn. Set up budget monitoring and set it to $1 so you know whether you run into any cost. Look into free tier services.

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?
