I have an interview with Amazon tomorrow for a financial analyst role. I was told to think of times I dived deep into data. I’m having trouble coming up with some. Can someone please provide exmaples they would use so maybe it can help me think of ones I’ve had in my career?

I would start by asking what does a financial analyst do at Amazon based on the job description.

In other words, what do you think you will be doing at Amazon and why did you apply for this role?

Basically the expectation is to use an example where you can quantify the outcome.

E.g., you built a financial model (or whatever jargon) that helped meet the need of A, b, C,… my thought process was XYZ and the resulting outcome was 5% increase in overall efficiency (be prepared to speak to all facets of your story)

Think like a criminal - you need an alibi to cover your story end to end not leaving any gaps

They used amazon English for you.
In plain English, when did you pour over financial records, documents, reports, revenue performance or any other information provided to you, before you made your own report.

Watch some YouTube videos which might help you think of examples that fit your context. You’ll have to tie the example to their leadership principles. Did they give you just one day notice before the interview?

I hated interviewing w amazon. I know this isn’t constructive or value add in any way, just want to throw it out there.

Why?

Hi. Did you work with a Recuiter?

Additional Posts in Amazon Interview Prep

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?
