Twitter has lost $11 billion in value, Tesla (or Tesler as Trump calls it) is recalling its vehicles because they fall apart, SpaceX rockets have a tendency to blow up on the launching pad, and the head of these companies is in charge of making the federal government more efficient. Instead of "running government like a business," I'd just like to see Congress "run government like a government."

Its a common control transaction, wouldn't it fall out of 805?

That 4B value is a terrible source. Musk paid a premium based on what the stock price was, but that happens almost anytime a public company is bought out.

"Earlier in the year, before Musk's involvement became public, Twitter's market cap fluctuated. In late March to early April 2022, prior to Musk disclosing his 9.1% stake on April 4, 2022, the stock price was around $39.27 per share, which, with approximately 764 million shares, would suggest a market cap of about $30 billion. However, once Musk's offer of $44 billion (at $54.20 per share) was made on April 14, 2022, and subsequently accepted by Twitter's board on April 25, 2022, the stock price rose, reflecting market expectations of the deal. By the time the acquisition closed on October 27, 2022, the $44 billion valuation included a premium Musk paid to take the company private, above its market trading value earlier that year."

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

I have a phone screen interview with AWS for the position of Systems Engineer with the Linux team early next week.

I’m not sure if I can let the interviewer know I’m not too strong with coding. I do want to take up the challenge, and also find out if the role would require extensive coding though. Any tips?

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
