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?

Trust your gut. If you’re comfortable now but still looking to grow, you could say no to this offer, stay at your current job, and keep looking for other opportunities that have better comp, a better company trajectory, and better leadership.

More money from company that is not doing well. How does that sound?
Depends on your situation, if you’re young and single and don’t mind putting in the work do it - especially if it aligns to strategic career growth goals. If you have a family or prioritize your non-working hours, if they’re saying there’s weekend hours they mean it. Good on them for actually admitting expectations upfront
They aren’t doing well because they’re paying their people too much for nonsense work
Stay at your job and keep looking no money is worth burn out! Overwork and leadership that not even starting is describe as a “nightmare to work with”
If they’re not doing well, the bonus is almost certainly going to be haircut vs what they advertise. So keep that in mind on the decision
sounds like a nightmare.
