I have my first interview with Amazon AWS for the Associate Engagement Manager role next week. Do you have any tips?

Additionally, if you are in the role now/in the past what are your thoughts on the position?!

Thank you for your help in advance! :)

Amazon’s not a good deal for employees: Low salary, bad PTO policy, harsh culture, and equity comp that few get (and now the stock is down 20%, worth very little).

Avoid that bullet: just stay in consulting – the upside is better.

Thank you for the insight and advice!

Two weeks PTO non-negotiable…hard pass. Ask these questions up front. 7 hour loops are excruciating. 5 interviewers asked the same question, expecting a different answer. They write the entire time. It’s terribly disengaging.

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

AZ: next batch of Maricopa ballots 55% or less for Trump
NV: Biden wins >60% of next batch of ballots in Clark County
PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.
