Vendor Manager 1.5 yrs TC 1.5 yoe. Manager wouldn’t support transfer to account management in AWS so now leaving the company. Basic skills learned were negotiations, cross-functional team projects (prime day coordination etc) and supply chain management. We own the p&l and speak to initiatives for top and bottom line growth. Suggestions on places to look next? Facebook said no and google is slow. Apple offer in hand. In Seattle is Microsoft...but curious about the biased blind opinions :)
85-115
Did you like the role
Is good when priorities are clear. My particular management would witch between growth and profitability weekly when we could have actually worked on both. So much like the rest of amazon bad management got in the way of good workers and initiatives. I’m at Apple now much more professional and aligned on strategy/goals. Managers are experienced, etc.
Thanks for the response. I'm at Microsoft now, just really want to change location. Is their growth for VMs? If you don't mind me asking what kind positions did that role open up for you/whatre you doing now.
They are all L6 senior roles now or moving that direction. Fresh MBAs mostly and the growth is within category management
Interesting vm roles to me would be in global account or amazon go for example. Brick and mortar is the new focus. Imagine that haha
Is getting around 130TC likely?
Yeah lol. I'm in cloud now, I'm worried going into Amazon retail can hurt my future career prospects... But I REALLY hate my location
130 is high end l5 or regular vm L6 150 for senior is easily attainable. I was always trying to get into cloud is that’s where the growth is and I’d assume money. Amazon is a crapshoot depending on team even within each org
Yeah cloud seems to be the wave, but I've had no luck getting interviews with AWS... Recruiter told me they couldn't even do 110 so im assuming she's lying... I've got a decision to make.
Does the role have good wlb
What's TC for a VM
