(Posting on behalf of a friend) Hi All, I am trying to move from Investment Banking to Corporate Finance (preferably in FAANG). Reason: Want a better work-life balance (IB esp. during covid has started peaking ~90hrs/week) I have received an offer from Amazon - while I understand there would be a pay cut but leaving that aside, can someone please address the following: 1. Maternity policy: I would need to go on maternity leave within 6 months of joining. Seems like I could still avail the 12 weeks of paid leave but would miss on the additional 4 weeks + some other perks. Can someone confirm? Also, have read a lot of negative sentiments on how folks are put on pip post-maternity, etc. Any experiences? Should I disclose my situation before accepting the offer? 2. Work-life balance: People often talk about amazon's work-life balance to be worse off vs FB, Google, etc. How bad is it -- how many hours per week can I expect? Any insights would be really appreciated. YOE: 3 years post-grad school (total ~6 years) Current TC: ~$225k #amazonfinance #amazonbenefits #corpfinance #finance #amazon #fpa #analyst
What's your amazon tc?
Your CTC seems less. Ask for more
Just make sure the "Finance" role is not reporting. You'd be bored to death even with all the money. The JD might be cloaked as something strategic and then you start the role and find yourself looking for $10 to reconcile every month close.

Why does you company handle say Netflix? That is neither an IB nor Amazon? Just curious
I posted it on behalf of a friend (as mentioned in the post)
Got it
As an Amazon FM in NYC you should get 225k. That is L6.5 in NYC. I got 205k in Seattle.
Amazon will not only ruin your wlb but your mental health too. Problem with Amazon is not the kind or amount of work, it is the very low quality people on top, especially in finance. Overall work environment is worse than toxic.
OP did your friend end up taking it? Hope they were able to avoid this place
