This is great OP. I definitely am not the smartest (not that I am not an intelligent person I just know there are usually people who are smarter than me in the room), but I definitely am the most prepared. I feel like I always do really well in interviews.

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?

Sorry for the vent. Maybe it’s just my bad luck then.

I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?
