Can you? Of course. But I would do what they ask. They probably won’t even call them anyway.

Gotcha, 2 it is!! Thank you!

You could always say you can provide more if necessary when you give them the information for the first two. Good luck!

Yeah that's the best approach

You can give as many as you need but def always give atleast 2. 3 is ideal!

I think you can give more and they can choose

You could always give more. 2-3 is the standard but if you've got more ideas, that can speak for your creativity too, you couldn't go wrong by adding more.

Fellow fishes, an observation. What explains the sudden rise in salaries in new hires.
In 2017/8, $/₹ was 65. Today it's at 80. That's a 20% depreciation over 2017/8 levels. Now, between then and now, salaries may have been corrected 50%. Factor in inflation, and you will see that the hike is just about 20% over a 4 time period. Doesn't seem like big number anymore.

All, this is my first post and I just want to share that I passed the first Amazon interview for Technical Program Manager and am heading to on-site virtual interviews! I have 20 years of corporate tech in a traditional F500 company (top 50). The only thing I can say that I like about my current job is the work-life balance and some of the people. But the work itself is soul crushing and the industry is stagnant. To those who are 40+ years old, is it crazy to change now?

No idea about team/culture/stability differences yet.

1. Cost-of-living (housing!). Could probably afford a nice ~$1.25M SFH in Seattle suburbs sooner than a fair $1.5-2M near Cupertino.
2. Public School quality. Unsure private will be affordable.
3. Weather/region: activities
