I’m interviewing for final round of the entry level area manager position at Amazon. I’m working on multiple stories related to the leadership principles. Can anyone provide me some tips regarding the role?
There are 16 leadership principle and I’m thinking of creating some stories around each but the thing that concerns me is what if the questions they ask are related to the same principle and I might have already used up my stories. Something like that. Can anyone please help? Amazon

I turn it around so I don’t have to give a number. “Oh that reminds me, I wanted to ask if there was a salary range associated with this position”. And then, for example, they say the range is $75K-$100K and you are currently making $70K. You could say “$90K would be competitive” (even if you’d take less). Or you could ask “What does a $75K performer look like vs. a $100K performer” and then try and fit your skills/experience to what they’re looking for in the $100K performer.

I do like that approach. I never really thought of asking what they think a $$ performer looks like through their eyes. I guess it’s because I’m not sure when to bring it up.
I always give a range that is significantly higher than what I make now and I will not accept not in that range.
Subject Expert
Good approach. I’d have to think of a good range for myself.

I always give a range that includes the top end of what they’ve said they can offer
Subject Expert
Oh good thinking
I like ranges; they give flexibility to both the person and the recruiter. Aiming for the higher end of what they are asking, it's a smart strategy if you can back it up with data and your research.
Subject Expert
Yes I think so too
I typically give a range but my desired salary is generally in the middle of that range. I don't want to price myself out of the job, but I don't want to lowball myself either.
Subject Expert
That’s true. I also feel I don’t want to low ball or say a high number just because.
