I was sent an OA for an Amazon position I applied to. However, I’ve decided I wanted to apply to positions at other locations instead. Would I just ignore the OA for this position and keep applying to other positions? Are there any consequences for doing this?

Those Amazon recruiters will follow up continuously. I would say email the recruiter and tell them that you're interested in another position.

QA is the graveyard where engineers put their potential. If you know how a binary tree works then never do QA, period. If you don’t then change your title, you’re not a software engineer (and binary tree is very baseline)

I’d suggest taking the OA (unless the role of interest is not a SWE) and when you speak with the recruiter, tell them about the other role. Also, mention a split b/c depending on the recruiter, may be more inclined to help/ move forward if you request such.

You’re welcome

When did they send you OA after the day you applied? I have applied to SDE 1 roles but not hearing back.

I’m not too sure, I applied to multiple positions and wasn’t sure which one this OA is for until I checked my jobs account today. I applied to this specific position a month ago and it’s the only one under consideration so I’m guessing about a month to receive this OA

Got my MBB offer as an Exp Hire! A few insights from my case prep. I practiced ~10 cases solo using Case Coach videos. I'd watch the interviewer speak, pause the video, practice (speak out loud, ask questions, explain my approach, even time myself), then play to see what the candidate did, and evaluate myself for gaps.

I also learned the evaluation criteria and internalized the generic case frameworks.

I do work in consulting and had done live case interviews 5 years ago

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus.

If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
