Amazon new grad AWS offer

Hi, I’ve got an offer from amazon for SDE1 from the aws team, I was wondering if I could somehow get into the Aws AI team ? By talking to a recruiter on here or linkedin? Yoe:0 Tc: ~149 K

Don’t think you can choose team if you are from campus hiring. The only way is to talk to the managers of the team and ask they to contact the recruiter on your behalf.

Will do thank you.

I would take the offer. Succeed at the role you’re put into and then after a year or so, you should be able to request to transfer to the AI team.

Yep, this is what I’m thinking to do

I got the offer in November, there was no waitlist then

Reach out to a manager whose team you're interested in. If they find your profile relevant enough they might put in the effort to get into their team. That's what I did to get into a team I wanted.

Do you have to do another onsite?

I didn't have to do an on-site, but I did two telephonic rounds with the team

Do you know if the TC for Bay Area new grads is higher at AWS?

I did not, I’ll probably apply for internal transfer once I’m there
