Thoughts on Everlaw vs DISCO?
Got an interview request from Amazon for Sr. Digital Marketing Manager. I have been interviewed by and worked for multiple big names like Mcafee, Meta, Microsoft but never by Amazon. I’m wondering how’s their hiring process, what kind of questions and tasks are waiting for me, how many steps are there etc.
Thank you in advance, everyone!

No but I saw with my buddy how Microsoft became her life and identity now she’s laid off - I worry about her mentally
We are so much more than our jobs
I don't think it's superficial.
I think it's a career choice that can play to your benefit or detriment.
Big companies with good reputations tend to be good places to work with good benefits and they tend to pay on the high end of the scale for given roles.
I'd suggest that working at a big company gives you a lot of opportunities to go up from entry level to middle management.
From there, it's much easier to climb the management rungs or maintain that level moving between other large companies.
But it's not the only path. You can get some great experience at a big place with a stellar reputation and then leverage that to launch your own company or get in early at a startup with equity options. You can use your experience to go be a "big fish in a small pond" at a smaller company down the road (maybe get a c-suite job at a middle market firm to move from $250k/yr to $350k/yr, hypothetically, or move from $250k/yr at a big company working 60+ hours a week to a smaller company with the same title and pay but actual 40 hour work week).
Every single person will have different experiences, and you should do whayou believe is best for your life path. If your goal is to retire early, if your goal is c-suite in big tech, if your goal is being there for your child's soccer practice and games...all of those are good. You do you!
TLDR: no
