Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

Update: I’m going to sign for S& and scratch the consulting itch! Thanks everyone for chiming in!

Great, enjoy your ride!
Sounds like you want to stay, so stay.
Continued: also if I leave, I’ll forfeit RSU awards (~$48k). Salary difference will cover it somewhat. In the long run, say 2-3 years, I feel a consulting exit would essentially be boomeranging into a role similar to current one (albeit higher salary hopefully) and hence seeking advice. Thanks very much in advance!
The biggest change by far be the WLB. While every team is different, expect 55+ hours per week min. Could easily be closer to 60-65 range.
Yeah definitely agree! I’m aware the biggest change will be WLB. Honestly though- I’m already doing 50-60 sometimes in this new role but my Friday evening and weekends are protected
Do you think that going into consulting will accelerate your progression towards the higher paying roles you’re seeking? In other words, if you stayed for 2-3 years at current place, would you not be able to apply for the same roles?
It sounds like you don’t really want to leave (and I dont blame you)
Yeah I do think that from a pure financial perspective, it would make sense for me to jump. Comp increases have been 3-4% the past few years and I don’t expect a bump since I changed roles mid year. Beyond this, I’m hoping consulting will help me get closer to doing work in the utilities industry (which I find interesting and relevant to my background)
Was in exact same situation. Chose S&
Thanks for the perspective!
My take is that unless the exit to consulting is aimed to partnership, you should stay. I would suggest to have a relaxed conversation (since comp planning for most companies is only a few months away anyways) about a title/comp adjustment at your current company - you can frame it mildly as value you delivered/equivalent market title/pay in market I believe in the past year I delivered value vs. straight say “I got an offer”. If the difference between total comp for the place where you go to (assuming no promotions) vs. the total comp at the place you are at (assuming no promotion) is not positive (I.e. they do not cover your RSUs and then some)...then you should have a really really really strong reason to leave - boomeranging back in the same function just higher level doesn’t seem to justify a paycut.
Thanks for the perspective! I pushed quite hard when I negotiated as part of my new role earlier this year, and I already expect only a nominal bump 2-3%. The frustrating bit about my current place is there is a lot of opacity around pay bands and grades. S& base will be 25% higher to start- won’t be a pay cut. I agree that boomeranging back wouldn’t justify the move to consulting but the hope is that it broadens the scope of exit opps

You sound like you want to stay, however what made you interview? I think that’s worth exploring
Good question- I started this process when I was plateauing and generally disillusioned earlier in the year but recently switched roles (because the internal process took so long) and landed the s& offer in the meantime. Had I landed the interview just now, maybe to your point, I would have been less inclined partly because I’m in honeymoon phase of my new role. I’m actually leaning jumping for reasons beyond comp!

S& is a good firm to work for, you’ll learn a lot but at the same time be miserable (depending on teams).
Ask yourself what you wanna do, consulting work or industry work.
I want to get back to doing client services work. I agree it will be a grind but willing to do it for the learning (to your point!)
What group? That’ll definitely change the answer
I’ll be part of the utilities group. Enterprise strategy & value. I understand y’all did a reorg and don’t need to hard align to an industry anymore?
@OP how's it going?
