Hello fishes,
I have a background in finance and 6+ YOE of professional work experience, I had to leave CA in between due to family emergency and started working (although only 1 group of CA final is left, 1 is cleared already), so can anyone provide an insight if being CA qualified is a mandatory requirement in EY and EY GDS in position of Manager in Accounting, auditing,FAAS,AWM teams etc
Would appreciate any insight, as seems HR everywhere just see degree and not the relevant work ex..

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?

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

I often have this debacle in my head regarding anything involved with Tech. It depends on the person / people in tech. You individually decide if you are a value add (revenue booster) or not, and frankly it's reflected by whether you are still employed or not after the redundancy.
As an engineer, I can build a product from nothing. I can, and have, done everything a Product Owner, Business Analyst, Quality Assurance, HR Manager, Data Scientist, you name it - does. Because I have had to fill the gaps. I've built the very systems they rely on daily. I've been on the journeys with them across all products in my life. So all said and done, as a techy, I can contribute everything that many other disciplines do to contribute to the 'technical' . Not one of them can do what I do, and build the product, scale it to millions, at cost, below cost, on time or before time.
On the other hand, there's Jonny. He'd get sinking in the ocean wrong, if you tied weights to his legs. Cannot contribute anything without explicit input or direction. 50% chance he succeeds, takes an average of 3x longer, and only did what he was told, and added no 'additional value' in that time either.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, you can't always impact or control the company you work for. But how valueable you present yourself as, is entirely up to you. If you're company sees that, you will not be made redundant. Others will instead.
If you are surrounded by value-adds, then there would not be a redundancy in the first place. If it still happens, and C-Suite still applies redundancy to a performing team. Get out of dodge, they're not for you, and they've misidentified the problem, and just gone after (probably) the higher salaries in Tech.

I love your take and my immigrant work ethic always forces me to think about ensuring if there was a list they would made many reasons to not add me to the RIF list
