Friend of mine was coaching me on an upcoming Amazon interview.
“They’ll be looking for any reason not to hire you.”
I’m frankly not sure I’d want to work somewhere that thinks like that.

That’s a rather drastic over generalization to let one person speak on behalf the whole company’s hiring process. But you are right in thinking about whether it’s even the right fit. Many people jump ship to FAANG, only to realize the culture doesn’t fit them at all. It’s not for everybody.

You mean one of the most sought after company to work for is being selective during their interviewing process!? What a shocker. You work at deloitte so you already work somewhere that is harder to get into than Harvard. You should already know.

Yeah I’m not sure how to gauge if a company is right for me. The brief interactions I’ve had with Amazon have not left me with a good impression. Everyone was so grumpy and cold and didn’t even seem that happy to be there themselves. I may air on the side of caution. If I am not 1000% into it, I won’t go. I like a lot about Deloitte. Too much to leave for something I’m not absolutely sure about.

Hello recruiters, happy Monday!

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry. While I look for work, it’s a bit discouraging seeing how hundreds of people apply for positions I see on LinkedIn. I still apply because you never know and AI plays a huge effect in selections. Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?
