Anyone at the Q center today/this week?
One of my favorite podcasts did an episode on Adderall. Most of the info won’t be new, but there were some interesting snippets in there. I also thought it was a useful educational resource to share with your family and friends.

I have an initial recruiter phone interview with Square Thursday. Is it it just a phone call or is it a video call and they didn’t specify. If it’s a video call what’s the dress code like? I’m coming from consulting so all my interviews were in suits. Any tips to get past the recruiter phone screen?

You can always go back to Bain just stay in touch with people!

Frankly, a little too late to have potential regret. That said, understand that you can always come back.
At the least, let your Amazon experience pan into something before having the feeling of leaving something good behind. You may be leaving something behind, but Amazon may have a lot more to offer. Who knows? Let the experience speak for itself.
I went back to BCG after having left for 3 years. Worked out great.
Dont overthink it. Progression is not like school, it’s not linear.

Did you have to go through case interviews again?
Everyone at MBB wants to exit to tech

There are so many opportunities in the world. You need to try something new. It may be an amazing experience or a shitty one. Who knows? You'll grow from it and either stay, or find something else you want. Do the thing that makes you have the least regrets
I’m assuming Bain was your first and only career? If so, what you’re feeling is fear of the unknown, which is totally natural. But remember you left for a reason and accomplished what you set out to do. Now just lean into it.
Assuming this isn’t PM- T, I’d be wary. You could easily be put into a non-tech “PM” role, as Amazon is known to hand that title out like candy. Also Amazon isn’t always the best from a WLB perspective. Finally, I’d be sure you want to do PM - it’s the hip job right now but at the end of the day, it’s a lot of PMO and can have limited career progression (L6 is considered a terminal role at Amazon)
That said, if you know you want to do tech, and this is truly a tech PM role, it’s better to do so now than in 2-3 years. Time in role as a PM will benefit you more than time in MBB
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I interned there this summer and so I know that this is a technical PM role (i.e. working closing with enginerris to build). So on that front there isn't any issues
No regrets. Solid move. Just find your niche within product and you’ll have great opportunities in the future.
Real question. How much is Amazon paying
$157k base, $59k sign on (yr 1), $140k RSU vested over 4 years
Amazon isn’t a great place to work. Corp culture is wack
