I would have said PE rather than FAANG. But yea

What’s the decision- to stay or to go? Would go for it, but keep in mind that Amazon is very intense work culture. Good luck.

Congrats! Amazon has a very cut throat culture. How’d you land the gig? Recruited, referred, cold application?

Clarifying (Sr. Product Manager, non-tech)

Which product line? Team culture? That would dictate my decision, but I’m also pickier about the topic of my work and the people on the team than I am about WLB/compensation.

Also - what was your TC? Amazon has become very stingy with $$s esp RSUs.

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
