Did I make the right choice?
Today is my last day at Gap. Going to move to Seattle next month to start at Amazon, Prime Video org. Really wanted to work for a tech company. Leaving my girlfriend behind for a year and a half, while she finishes school, but plan on flying back and forth to hangout with her at least once every two months. Old TC: 94k in Columbus, OH New TC: 167K in Seattle, WA. SDE1 2 YOE I've wanted this for awhile, have been trying to get an Amazon offer since college. I love Seattle and don't mind rain or gloomy days. I feel confident in my choice now but still just wondering. I'm excited and nervous, it's a big move for me
You’ll learn and earn more at Amazon. There couldn’t be a better career move (edit: except any other FANG)
Yes. You did. You said it yourself- wanted this for a while
Yes great decision
Ceiling is much higher at Amazon. It's an ocean of technologies
Prepare to lose your GF
God bless your soul! Those freakin’ winters are in store for you. Remember this post in October, Nov, December, Jan, Feb, and March - sunless days. If you have even the slightest inkling of SAD, spare yourself from the hell that is PNW.
Don’t listen to this guy. Been here twelve years. Been at bay before. This is a great place to raise a family.
Oracle type guys are the folks who enroll the ignorant with such gimmicks. Search - which region has the highest suicide rates? - which is the one with most serial killers. You’ll get the answer
Why once every two months? Do you have low T?
Hey if Amazon doesn't work out there's always Old Navy
If you didn't make the leap, you'd look back with regret often and wonder what if? for the rest of your life. Congrats and good luck in your future!
Yup f gap
