Hi All,
Any update on WFH continuity?
I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter for a remote Sr. Program Manager role. I took and passed the assessment and was moved to the hiring manager round which was scheduled for tomorrow. I got an email tonight saying that the Director of the group decided that the person must be in Seattle. I am in Austin, which is not an option. I’m disappointed! The recruiter will let me know if any remote roles come up but in the mean time, does anyone have any remote Amazon roles that they’d refer me to?

I think it just comes down to showing people that you respect them and their expertise, and showing trust. If that’s the case age is really not a factor. Not related to age but I find my current lead patronizing, accusatory, and a micromanager. So I’m a bit sensitive on this.

I’m half the age of most of my clients or even a third and I’m directing senior level people. I think it comes down to building trust. Act in the capacity that you know you need to act in and don’t let your age hold you back
At 23/24 I was the SME seconded to a major client in their tech business. Not only was I the youngest in every room, but often the only woman too. I found that the key to building trust and respect is to actively listen and be transparent about what you can and can’t do for people

Meet with each individual for 30 minutes just to “get to know them” and have some questions ready. Basically ask them their opinions/advice on current state—pain points, what they would stop/start/continue as it relates to the project. Before the meeting, ask someone you trust - maybe someone outside the project or the deployment/resource manager, for background/info on people on the project (or look them up anonymously on LinkedIn) to learn about the work they’ve been involved in and their skill set. That way you can come to the meeting “hey from what I hear you’re the data guru and did XYZ. Your perspective is xyz to blah blah blah.” Say something genuine/true. Also be sure you understand what their role is/what they do. But don’t micromanage.

The vibe needs to be collaboration and teaming versus delegation.
Agree with this. At the end of the day, you are in charge and responsible but you cannot get anywhere without your army and that this is your team. It’s important to remember that and as others noted that they also have experience. You’ll sometimes have to make decisions not everyone agrees with but be sure to explain why. Also don’t be afraid to ask questions and show you’re interested in learning more about what they do and I’m sure you’ll all learn a lot from each other.
