Hi All, I have an interview for the Business Intelligence Engineer position with Amazon and was wondering what to expect during the interview process. Also whatโs the the total Compensation typically for a BIE5/6. TC: 125K YOE: 3.5
Thanks for taking the time to type a detailed response. Interesting move, however I completed my Masters and have DS skills, do you think moving to a DS role would make sense ?
Yes. If you qualify then defimitely. in fact, you should apply for one.
Which team are you interviewing for?
Avoid. Role is being phased out by EOY 2019. All BIEs will become BAs which is considered a non technical position.. A select few BIEs who have a PhD or MS and strong data science skills will be moved to data scientist role. BIE is not a well respected role and generally ends up being Redshift DBA / SQL monkey job regardless what they tell you in the interview. Expect to be placed in a role where everyone is starved for resources and the expectation will be for you to write everyone elses sql beginning day one
I don't think it's being phased out. Infact, BA roles were recently eliminated and folks were asked to convert to a BIE or leave the team.
Really? I know they were going to kill one role but my understanding was BIE would die
