Got an interview call from Amazon Web Services. Should I prepare for this interview properly. I will be promoted to a senior this year and this call from Amazon is also tempting. Any thoughts?

There are some downsides but i would at least take the interviews to see what other people are looking for.

And it's AWS not Amazon it's essentially a support job. Friend is in it. Just basic technical support skills with a good pay. If that interests you that is

@slalom2- what position were you interviewing and did you get the offer?

I want to say it was solution architect...i was going through the process at warp speed but i ran out of time. Meaning that i could not delay making a decision on slalom or aws.

I will say....the aws interview was amazingly technical...but more in an architecture sense than what is the command for this

Op what's the job title? It's hard to give advice on interviewing for such a big group

job title is business intelligence interview

*engineer

Ah then I would think that it's not as bad as working as a software engineer there. Still, be aware of the negative reviews and press Amazon has gotten for its work life balance

Op whats the pay ~
