Is it normal for Amazon recruiters to reach out to you regarding SWE positions? I’ve received a couple messages on LinkedIn about some openings, but considering the fact that I’m still a junior developer I’m not sure if they’re legit or scams.

Yeah a little too much. I get 2-3 emails from different AWS recruiters every week

Yes, I get emails from them all the time, even though I tell every single one that I'm not interested in working for Amazon and they should tell their colleagues not to contact me.

I actually looked up whether I could take them to small claims court over not stopping when I told them to. The harassment laws i was thinking about only apply to telemarketers, though, not recruiters :/

They are legit. Sometimes they give you time to study. For the coding interview.

I wonder what the outreach quota for these Amazon recruiters are Because I don’t see other FAANG’s doing this much outreach.

My personal observation:
Most of these Amzn recruiters have started at AMZN < 6months. Seemingly, they have targets to meet (like fill up X positions by Y quarters) & so, they are frantic.

On the other hand, if an Amzn Senior recruiter (atleast >1year at amzn) reaches out, they also mention that the hiring manager reviewed your profile & that are looking to know more. They are legit interested in your experience.

Ditto.

tbf, I was receiving just as many Meta msgs until this past April or so.

It’s legit. If you have at least a year of experience, you can be considered for an L4 role.

They reach out all the time causes they churn through people.

Serious question from a happy software engineer, what do you all love about your work/actually enjoy doing during working hours?

I'll start; I'm privileged enough to have been given the opportunity to work and learn deeply on Linux and Kubernetes, and I get to tinker and play with them all day. Problem solving with them is a "fun" part of my job.

Of course most things aren't roses and sunshine, but I'd love to hear the positive parts of what you are doing, or what you like to do at work.
