My resume got shortlisted for Operations Associate/Engineer-Amazon Managed Services role. I am an experienced AWS engineer with 5YOE.I feel like this role will be degrading in nature for me. Is it worth joining for this position. I would love to join Amazon based on my experience and skill set. But Not to some position which doesn't require AWS experience.

Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?

I went from junior to CD in just 3 years.
Oh my. That can’t be good
💯 I've gotten zero mentorship, formal or informal. And little to no training and was just expected to figure everything out quickly and well. Really unrealistic expectations, especially during a pandemic, and businesses seem to have cut those areas down for cost saving. Really demoralizing and frustrating.

I don’t feel like I missed out on anything to be fair. Think it didn’t make any difference for me because I’m really pro-active and self dependent in how I work. I don’t necessarily seek mentorship. Not because I think I know it all or don’t want to learn, but because I’ll find my own way of learning. I am aware I know nothing, but will always figure something out.
That’s just a mentality I have embraced from doing all kinds of side projects all the time.
Feels like it’s working so far. I’m 2 years in now. Done and won pitches. Went on shoots. Won awards. Got promoted, run my own projects, guide interns and so on.
I go back and fourth. Imo it’s not the actual advertising work I’m missing out on. I feel I’m handling my workload and preforming well. You can easily send references, brainstorm, and present work over the computer. But, I’m fairly independent and love the work I do.
What’s impacted me I feel is the opportunity to get to know people further than the 9-5. Grabbing a few beers after work, getting invited to networking events, knowing your office managers and how many kids they have. Shooting the shit at the coffee machine. Picking on the food left out after a pitch. The empathy, excitement and “family”ish nature of work is absent over a computer I feel. (Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, and maybe this is a bigger work-life balance discussion, - but this is just my experience being remote my first job and not having anything else to compare it to.)
Missing out on free food and networking opportunities are def big cons to being remote. Otherwise, I don't really care for the "family"-ish or community aspect of the office.
It's one thing to foster positive working relationships with your managers and coworkers. It's another to seek from work the sense of community/family that you should be getting from other areas of your life.
When has this industry NOT been sink or swim. Life is about being an autodidact nowadays. Honestly, I think it always was.
100%, I’m a pretty big self-starter so I didn’t have crazy issues with this. But we hired a junior a while back who’s been struggling. You don’t get a lot of face time with people and it’s very easy to get lost in the wash because you don’t physically see someone obviously not working on anything.
Biggest thing is not meeting people. I moved to a new city and haven’t had the opportunity to make many friends after college since I work at home all day and don’t go into an office.
No - I got a promotion and two pay rises in that time frame.
I am from the US, but lived in Europe for many years, and decided to move back home (SF) last year. I have no friends here, and I started a job this year remote, and can say the main thing I really want is to be in office with my peers, meet people and just be in a social environment. I did learn a lot being remote, and I think being remote pushed me to figure things out and be a self-starter.
However, hoping to be in person sometime soon, just to experience the social part of work.
