I quit Amazon. I thought with 8.5 yoe as a PM there getting another job would be a breeze. It’s proving so difficult. Trying to work my contacts at other top companies but most ghost me due to minimal interactions over the years. So frustrating.
Surprising. Not getting interviews or not clearing them?
This is the first stage. The next stage is job interviews suck. Welcome aboard!
I had one interview. I came in second. They even had me wait to see if the other person was going to accept or not. Soul crushing.
I have been through that, it hurts.
At least you work at Amazon, so may get a few interviews if you reach out to the recruiters. I work at a shitty tier 10 company in a non-tech role, and am not a CS grad either. Life has been tough here, very tough.
You got a job and live in one of the most developed countries in the world! You should feel lucky
Yes, I am grateful for that but things aren't moving forward. I am planning to go back to my country because I can't feed my family in the petty compensation I have here. Even non-CS grads are valued there, unlike here.
Really surprised. Thought there would be really strong demand for that background
Is this Product or program management? Demand for these are relatively lower compared to engineers.
Why did you quit?
Both. Half program management half product management with an emphasis on analytics.
I quit to job hunt full time. I was done at Amazon and didn’t want to drag out the job finding process.
I would try and learn a skill
Considering it.
To get it straight, the problem you have is your contacts are goshting you and as a result you dont get interviews right? It is not that you are applying to jobs and not getting interviews?
Both.
