I’m not even a consultant rn so not sure how realistic it is to go in as an experienced hire. Def don’t see myself as a career consultant. Just need it on my resume

“Just need it on my resume”?? You’re not a consultant now and you don’t want to be long term. Maybe you should explore more options.

Look into PE ops. Some PE shops give their operators carry and tc is lower than the deal team but not by a whole lot

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?
