Would suggest to switch for PC ; shortcuts are not the same and more efficient on PC - if the test is on PC ofc

Is the test going to be on a mac? There’s your answer... borrow a friend/sibling/cousin’s?

If you aren't looking to drop money on a pc, consider parallels or some other VM software. Modeling on Mac isn't impossible, but it might as well be when compared to a pc.

I can tell you from experience, attempting to model on a Mac sucks. I definitely didn’t do as well because I was on a Mac, I should have run Windows on Mac and it woulda made a world of difference.

If you’re doing the modeling test remotely from your computer, you’re fine. If it’s at their office, they will give you a computer that will 100% be a PC (unless this is an interview with Apple), and you’ll be extremely disrupted by the deviations.

Hi everyone, I have recently given interviews to Amazon, and all the rounds went well according to me. Is it okay to negotiate salary if Amazon make any offer to me because at a time I don’t have any offer. I’m really conflicted that if I try to negotiate they might take away the offer. Could you sharks help me out with experience because it’s the first time i am switching a company. Thank you in advance for your help.

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that.

He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.
