Depends on the role but my friend was trying to get me a CSM role at L5, base was 140K with 80K in stock.
Damn!

Why would anyone in their right mind work at such a place?

I've rarely seen anyone on various tech or job forums post anything positive about the work environment at Amazon. I suppose if your a Phd working on cutting edge technology at Amazon your mileage may vary. But for the average IT worker who just wants to make a decent salary with some semblance of work life balance. Then a place like Amazon is very low on your list of potential employers. I don't even respond to inquiries from Amazon Recruiters because I heard it has a such a toxic work environment. And I could care less about working on cutting edge technology at this point in my career.^^^ tl;dr. The culture varies from team to team.
The scale and level of technical sophistication is rarely matched, even by other high-level tech companies. Maybe Google and Microsoft.
Besides that, you're working around true experts. At least on the corporate side.
Oh wow they already sent me the rejection email![]()

Was this the phone screen or loop?Oh wow they already sent me the rejection email![]()
That's the part that pisses me off the most. Most of their questions I could only answer from the same set of experiences.Was this the phone screen or loop?
I’ll post the question bank if y’all want and the guidelines for each LP. Basically follow that and don’t repeat stories. Also research the panel and find the bar raiser. Save all your questions for that person. You almost want to stall that person, they aren’t going to ask you technical questions so it’s all LP based. If you can make them do most of the talking then that’s a win. They basically determine if you are inclined or not.
I’ve seen people be deemed “Not a functional fit” because they bombed the tech interview but the bar raiser said they were a “culture fit” and they still get hired. Usually at a lower level
Oh nah breh… make them shyts up. Most people can’t tell a story about “a time you made bad decision” and it not end up being a bad look. On top of that they want metrics/data to show the impact you made, and shyt like that.That's the part that pisses me off the most. Most of their questions I could only answer from the same set of experiences.
It was the call directly after the one I had with the recruiter. It was someone from the team I would be working with. Was supposed to have another call after that and then the 4 in succession.Was this the phone screen or loop?
