I’m getting paid 170k to do a 6-month “remote training program” (read as: paid vacation) and then do 6 months worth of low intensity consulting work. Then promotion to L5 when I’ll make 230 for architecture work with no oncall. Then another 2 years if you’re good and promotion to L6 where you make 300 This is a ridiculous career hack that more people should try! Easy work and when you keep in mind average promotion time you are really making the same you would on the SDE side
Good luck on trying to find a job outside, you won’t learn much to find a similar paying job outside of amazon
Cloud architecture skills are super transferable and most people still code
Should be able to switch to PM/PgM/Management role easy enough for a better pay ceiling.
nice how u get in it? on campus recruiting?
Internship return offer but originally yeah campus recruiting. It’s not at all elitist or weird like that though people from all kinds of schools were fellow interns
Where do I apply for it?
Amazon.jobs look for solutions architect or cloud consulting roles
Thanks
True as long as you survive/interested in working at amazon. You will have a reality check when you try switching
This ^
Also how was the interview process??
Checkout Glassdoor for technical questions. Trivia style stuff about a bunch of different areas of CS. I just watched some YouTube videos Heavily driven by leadership principle stuff like everything else at Amazon so know that like the back of your hand
Thank you so much

This is part of the A2C OP?
I’m not onboarded yet lol what is A2C It’s techU
It's accelerate to consultant. I'm not sure the difference, but some job postings for associate cloud consultants are doing that program instead of tech u.
OP Proserve is not that sweet. I just left after being L5 for two years.
Why? Where’d you bounce to?
+1 to what role/org you switched
how many meetings on average do you have to attend per day and per week for this role?
some people actually care about learning
Granted the work is easier than SDE but I do think it’s fair to say that you will learn a lot in proserve, both technically and customer interaction soft skill things
then it’s not really a paid vacation then right?
