Interviewing with Amazon and I am finding it so difficult to find stories relating back to leadership principles. I am in human capital consulting interviewing for a program manager role. Any tips on how to come up with promising stories? Trying the STAR method but just feeling like my experience was too little to account for. 3 YOE.

Saw this on LinkedIn from a person who recently went through the same thing for a data scientist role. It may not be very helpful but can give you an idea of the process they went though and how best to tailor your answer to it. In regards to answering your question I would start with context, what the issues were, how you dealt with it, the impact and/or outcome of what you done and if you would anything different next time/what else you could do

You can take project by project reference. But make sure to tell stories and not experience. My experience with Amazon interview - for principles make sure you have a intent and an outcome and also not just say like “we did this, we did that... etc”. Try going by a way where an unknown person unrelated to you will be interested in hearing your story.

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”.

At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
