Amazon Offer - No Interview Was Required
Last fall I had two competing offers (Seattle, YoE 10):
Amazon L5 (AWS AI) ~ 310k
Microsoft L63 (Azure Compute) ~ 300k
I eventually chose Microsoft, but a recruiter from Amazon (PV) reached out today offering an expedited hiring process, no interviews required, with the added potential of getting a more competitive offer.
It would be foolish of me not to at least get the offer in hand, but I can't help but wonder if there's a red flag here. Is this common of Amazon to offer expedited hiring out of the blue like this to candidates who received offers in the past? Did PV just PIP everyone and need more bodies? Does this imply if I ask around, other orgs may offer expedited hiring too?
My WLB for Azure sucks right now (65+ hours a week, including nights and weekends) but I fear it could be much worse at Amazon. Plus, I have no fears of PIP :)
Thoughts?
