Ever wonder how a few of your coworkers got hired in the first place?
Hi friends, how is the wlb of AWS Insights team in Amazon in NYC? It is specifically for Billing & Usage team. This will be either SDE2 or SDE3 position.
Don't expect good WLB in AWS, go only if you enjoy doing operations.
AWS is not only operations. Use operations as opportunity to become a better engineer and not just throw your work over the fence for others to untangle.
What all comes under operations?
In general for Amazon, do not expect WLB. You will be on the tight deadline to ship a lot of stuff, interviewing other people, will be oncall and will get paged at 3 am - all on the same week. I did it for 9 years and overall liked Amazon because there were not many people around working 9-5 jobs. They did not survive and I liked working with people like me. We made a difference and it was worth it. Yes, Iām a workaholic.
Why did you leave? How is fastmail in comparison?
Every 3-4 years I had to get an offer to bump up my TC. One of those offers was also better due to other aspects such as office location and level in the org. I also felt I needed a change after being in the same space for almost a decade. After the initial 2 years, large/bigger portion of Amazon comp is their stock. This is extremely speculative and only works well while stock doubles every two years. When stock hit 1T last year, I figured it will not turn 2T any time soon.
