I’m interviewing for a contract position with Amazon. If you did contract work can you share your experience? What is the likelihood of being hired on after the contract period and what would that process be like?

I started off as a contractor with Amazon last July and I converted to full time in January. You have to go through the full interview loop and your team has to have headcount in order to bring you on.

If they’re using contractors for their org, chances are they have head count. Think of it as a prove it deal, and if you show a ton of effort and strong leadership qualities they will bring you on even if you’re not quite raising the bar metrics wise yet

like

Definitely prove yourself and as A1 mentioned, you can convert in a few months, after a full loop. Also, take this time to network, just in case you see another opp w/ another team.

Is it wrong that I’m just not into PE/VC? It seems to be the most desirable exit for most people that I work with. The work seems like it’s not a good fit for me but it feels crazy to pass up trying to get that amount of money when there really isn’t a realistic alternative to that amount of wealth (and I do want that amount of wealth).

Burned out in current role. 10-plus years post-MBA experience in Corp Fin role unable to move up to Director due to lack of "scope" - limited to no opps. Currently, work 40-50 hours week (minimal to no weekends) and earn ~250 TC. Work day is "intense" - many quick turnaround projects from task to task.
