Started a new job at Amazon after Deloitte for 2 years. Been here for a month it so but Realized the role doesn’t shape up to what I want to do long term. Just got an interview request to be a product manager at a startup. Should I tell them I’ve been at Amazon or say I quit consulting for personal reasons?

What role are you in at Amazon right now? Can you provide more info about why it wasn’t what you expected/why you want to leave?

funny

BTW - you can change roles/teams within Amazon. There is no minimum stay requirement after joining.

@D2 - Not sure what you meant by discipline, but I’ve seen people moving from recruitment to category management or from Finance to PM. You just need to prove that with your background you can add value. This is also why some transfers are rare like a non tech Ops manager moving to SDE because the skill sets required are very different.

I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback.

So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
