I passed phone screens and I'm given the option to schedule onsite with any Amazon team I prefer in the bay area. 1) I'm not from the bay area. What is the hive mind's take on some of the things I should be aware of as a non-bay-area engineer? 2) I'm not a gamer. How big of a handicap is that to be a successful engineer at Twitch?
Not a handicap at all for Twitch as long as you are technically solid.
Thanks.
I wouldn't recommend twitch. Go to AWS in Palo Alto
Why not? What do you specifically know?
Based on my limited research I felt Twitch retained its original flavor (whatever that is) and was fairly isolated from the plain vanilla Amazon cutthroatness. Am I incorrect?
Following ! But looking for opportunities at a PM.
