- why does blind allow multiple accounts from the same email? just sign up again with the same email address (and a different password) and you'll have 2 accounts, couple of days later you may be asked to reverify, reverify both of them and you're good to go blind claims 74k microsoft users, 66k amazon users etc. does that include dupicate accounts as well?
- vote What’s the future of LinkedIn? When you look at Linkedin, do you think it’ll be there after 10years from now? Common verticals: 1. Social Media 2. Job Post/Application 3. Ads 4. LinkedIn for Learning (Hardly people use) What they do have is data, about millions of people worldwide, which might come to their rescue later. Now,i
- Joining FB (infra) and imposter syndrome I got an offer for Fb e5 infra and will be attending boot camp in 2 weeks. I have 6 yoe, 4 at aws and 2 at a no name small company. I think I just coasted at amazon and got lucky with features, I am no Java expert and I know Ruby. LC’ed hard and finished DDIA/Grokking and hit the E5 jackpot. But I
- FB WLB: what are you all producing that makes you work so hard? Heard that the WLB can be tough for many at FB. But what do you actually do? I mean FB has basically the same features and instagram doesn't change that much. What are ya'all working on? I get Amazon or Google, but FB is also a huge company too...like 60k employees. That's like half as many as Googl
- Really need to leave my team at Amazon I work at AWS. My team is understaffed and overworked, and it is taking a toll on my mental health. My org has a big push towards releasing a new feature in about 4-5 months. I own parts of the system... however, I really cannot see myself lasting the entire time. In a perfect world, I would leave t
- Looking for referrals for any tech company that pays well I’m leaving amazon. Too much politics and WLB sucks. YOE: 2.5 years around SDE1 :( but I think I can pass system design questions I have done multiple designs for features on my team. TC :$170k ( stock appreciation) I have already interviewed for FB on-site and didn’t make it. I have done aroun
- AWS vs open source technology Based on what I've learnt, people working in amazon products are inevitably using AWS products to develop their features. 1. Do they ever get a chance to work on all the interesting and hot opensource products out there today like kubernetes, kafka, ELK, flink, etc? 2. If not, do they end up with
- Where do you see the cloud going over the next 5-10 years? Those of you in the cloud industry, where do you see it going over the next 5-10 years? For both big tech and tier 2 tech. I have a couple of hypotheses below. If anyone wants to challenge them, add nuance, or add another perspective that'd be great. Or skim and post your take below. From what I h
- Top-down approval v bottom-up approval approach in PM How true is this statement from Cracking the PM Interview in your experience? “Companies like Microsoft, Apple, Amazon have a top-down approval approach to PM where executives and directors get involved early on in feature/ product dev while companies like Google and FB have a bottom-up approach wh
- Is hackerrank practice enough to land job at amazon? So I am thinking of applying to #amazon as a developer. I’ve been working as a developer elsewhere for couple years now (very low pay) but I mostly maintain code and add new features to existing system. I’m not good at data structures or optimization problems and I hate that. I know the Amazon inter

- Amazon -LP Hi all, can you please me with the key points to hit while answering the below customer obsession? When you’re working with a large number of customers, it’s tricky to deliver excellent service to them all. How do you go about prioritizing your customers’ needs? #leadershipprinciples #amazon #aws
- Downturn 2020 Companies Looking for companies that will do better during the upcoming downturn. I'm quite worried about Amazon. Teams aren't being able to address the old tech in the existing systems. Good people are leaving. All new features come from acquisitions or hero behavior of a few people working 16+ hours per day
- Why so much bias for action amazon? Why do engineers in amazon bias so much towards delivery and scrappy design? Surprised that team mostly wants to deliver as soon as possible, cutting down design features which improve reliability and scalability of the service. Pushing for sub-optimal design and shortcuts.. "Lets launch it like th
- Promo process at Microsoft I expect to be starting at L61 in a couple of months and want to understand how promotions really work at Microsoft. I was motivated to leave Amazon because the promo process favoured ICs who shipped a lot of broken features and moved on and punished those who tried to maintain quality by sticking
- KTLO team @ Expedia A friend is planning to join as SDE-2 in a tier 1 org at Expedia India but its a KTLO team.

- Thankful for stop loss orders! Favorite feature at fidelity and gives me peace of mind. Every month I update my stop loss orders with how much I'm willing to lose per stock, usually 10% for large caps (e.g amzn) 20% for mid/small caps. Orders triggering left and right in the past few days, still getting out with some good gains,
- Applied Scientist roles, possible with just MS? I’m a pleb MS. I build models, light productionizing and sometimes research. No fancy models just a lot of work on features usually. Is it possible to land an AS role with just a Masters? I was ignoring Amazon as literally everyone says it’s the worst but my buddies who work there say it’s fin
- Thanks Amazon. AWS is awesome I'm learning AWS for last few weeks. Almost any feature which I can dream of already present on AWS. The pricing is so good that a company has to be lunatic to run their own web servers. The vision and execution of the platform is flawless. Lot of Amazon people on blind complain about TC, PIP and
- Using LiveCode for system design in Amazon TPM loop? I have an upcoming virtual onsite loop for a AWS TPM (L6) role. My recruiter sent me a LiveCode link as part of the scheduling email.

- vote Renege Twitter offer ? I signed an Twitter offer about a month ago before all the EM chaos happened. Was all set to join in May.

- What does it take to be promoted from SDE II to SDE III at non-Amazon companies? At Amazon/AWS, or at least within my org, the criteria to move from L5 to L6 requires grinding that eliminates any hope of WLB. Is it similar at other companies? Is the grind inevitable or is it possible to achieve promotion while maintaining WLB? For clarity, this is how my team is encouraged to r

- We glorify those working until 3 AM FYI we are hiring! Ever since I joined Amazon, I noticed that my manager, skip level manager and other co-workers appreciate and celebrate someone who works until midnight or 3AM or works on weekends to fix an issue or even launch a new feature. Such guys are recognised during sprint retrospection

- Leaving amazon after only 1y impact Hey guys, I joined Amazon (AWS) a year ago after working at no name startups for about 3 yrs. I knew going into it that I probably will not want to stay there long, and I'm realizing now that I was 100% correct. My question is, is there any value in staying here longer for resume building purposes

- Moving from Google "Product Manager" to Amazon "Product Manager-Technical" Anybody here that has made a move from Google to Amazon in the Product Management ladder? What were you reasons for making this move? Do you regret it, given the general vitriol against Amazon on aspects like wlb and, maybe, TC? Based on my interactions, I feel like Amazon PM-Ts are better leader
- Crappy work So it’s been 7 months at Amazon and it is been complete waste of my time. Things I learned are LPT, Apollo, Cloudformation YAMLs, Brazil which is useless and the knowledge is not transferable anywhere! I have been just doing ops! Asked my manager for some feature but I still keep getting ops work.
- vote MLE role at Amazon After talking to hiring managers I have known that there is a gray area in how Amazon perceives someone as MLE or SDE.

- Full-stack developer, don't want to work on storage I got an offer from Azure CosmosDB distributed storage systems. I wanted to try something outside consumer facing features & so I got the offer.

- I got dev plan'd at Amazon (L6 SDE) As discussed in our 1on1 today, in the past, your behavior/attitude is not meeting the L6 SDE 3 bar on “earns trust” and “hire and develop the best” as part of the ****** team.
