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

They will ask you what you make and always lowball you, especially if you’re not coming from consulting
This is a very true statement. My advice - if your gut tells you that you were a lowball. You have to be willing to walk away!!!! Focus on that last sentence, it will be hard to do.
Pro
Ask them what the range is or starting. They’ll disclose it. And then, know you have about ~30k more to play with. Choose wisely and use that toward your salary (versus a high sign on). Worked for me! Good luck
During the screening, if they ask if you - have been interviewing elsewhere, simply say yes you have been approached by Other big 4 companies. This may give you an upper hand!
Depends.
Do your homework on your realistic salary expectations. Communicate that to the recruiter.
No 2 people are the same, and your experience and skills, and the offering/ business you are going into will play a factor in what is a realistic offer.
Finally, remember that this is fishbowl and everyone exaggerates their comp and they ask expect to get paid a 40 hr/wk salary for 25 hours of work.
Gave a much lower salary during screening with recruiter, they gave me a much higher salary in offer. Negotiated and they gave nice raise after performance review.
Two things.
1. When people apply to Uncle D they always try to level you down. They’ll tell you that “you can be promoted in one year!” But this isn’t true.
2. Salary they’ll rarely wow you. If you stick around for the first year - two it accelerates but new hires struggle with the pace / hours of uncle D.
Before you pull out, you should wait and see what the offer is.
Well being and work life balance are great in my opinion. A lot of it depends on your team and your upper management to be sure, but Deloitte as a company and its culture and people overall are great. A lot also depends on your expectations and communication of boundaries and how much you are willing to work.
Ah thanks everyone that’s helpful - is there any particular things to mention in order to try and get a higher offer? Eg in my current job I’m on track to be promoted within a year to a higher salary so I’d want them to beat that?
Just reject the offers a few times if you wanna ball
Is there not a risk of them withdrawing the job offer altogether or is a compromise usually reached?
What is a realistic salary range to ask for? 6 years experience in public sector major programmes but no specific consulting experience?
