I just got my first offer from Amazon today and wanted to share 😄 It was one of the most grueling interview processes I have ever had to do (8 total) 😅 I’m excited to move to Austin and would welcome any career advice as I transition from startups to corporate.

How were you informed of the offer? Did you have to schedule time with the lead before a written or verbal offer?

She immediately called me one day after! I was expecting a five day wait but she knew I had other competing offers.

So I'm in the opposite boat as you, I'm going from corporate to a start up. So far from the interview process, I was amazed at how quickly they got back to me after each interview, I'm talking 2 hrs vs 2 weeks with corporate. I was like wow, I'm not used to this kind of attention, lol. Things in corporate move slow, very process-oriented & not as laid back. Corporate has perks like company cars, pensions, as I said processes which can be good as in you don't have to figure things out but not good if you like to do things differently.
What can you share about start-ups? Im joining a Series-E start-up.

Hi, I been working for Lloyds Bank for almost 9 years now , I recently attended a interview for Barclays and offered an Senior Business Analyst AVP role in Wealth and private banking area. I did not see much difference in the salary offered and it is pretty much same ie 68.5k.But the difference is current role is London based, however the Barclays one is based in Glasgow where cost of living is less in comparison. I am unable to decide whether to take the offer or not..any suggestions will be helpful pls.

Need a space to vent...I spend hours and hours putting together an actionable, creative + platform-first positioning, bring my creative partner into the process, outline specific content buckets, and creatives come back with a totally off-the-wall concept.

Why do I put so much effort into a strategy that will just be ignored?

Not sure if this us just me or does anyone else resonates with this. For everything that I wanted to have and do have now, I feel just very hollow.
