I’m new at ACN as an M. Will I get fired from ACN for asking to roll off my project? It’s my first one, it’s been 3 weeks and it does not seem to be working out. 😩

Seems early to be asking to roll off. What’s makes you say it’s not working out?

Raise some of these concerns to the DL if you haven't already. Advocate for yourself; nobody else is going to do it. Good luck!

You won't get fired.. but it's not a great look after just 3 weeks

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?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
