Getting into Amazon if you're dumb

I want a job at Amazon just because I want people to think I'm cool and its the big 5 with the lowest barrier to entry. However I am very dumb and lazy. Also I do the majority of my work in Java Spring and want my next job to use something else, but lack the experience to do so. I have 1 YoE and hope to jump in a year. How do I trick Amazon into hiring me so I can steal Jeff Bezos's money before getting PIPed in a year? TC: 91K

If you have a pulse and can code your way out of a wet paper bag you’ll be fine

Well way too many people see Amazon as modern day slavery. Not sure how u find it cool. I hear much better reviews about FNG though.

I guess it could be a gateway tech into FANG.

Do it. I made it in somehow. I have basically the same plan as you.

Become a program manager. You will be a top performer if you understand logic.

Getting Amazon’s name on your resume matters. Within a year I got offers from Google, Facebook and MS. Going ahead with Google of course.
