What is realistic hour expectations if moving to Amazon accounting team from PA? Also, is it similar to PA where you are always on call? Would be Senior Manager title. Appreciate any advice for preparing for the interview process as well.

Curious to know too. Amazon is notorious for bad wlb among software engineers. But maybe that is nothing compared with PA. Also maybe the back office has a much better schedule than the front office.

Hours definitely better compared to PA but promotion will be hard. I thought we are on hiring freeze now though

There was someone on here who worked in Amazon accounting and said they were pulling public hours and running really lean.

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.
