Feeling defeated and burnt out from working at Amazon. The constant focus on writing narratives, the feedback and critiques, the never ending changes in requirements for writing around structure, grammar, style, etc leaves me drained, defeated, and exhausted after every document review meeting.

I spend more time writing narratives then I do writing code.

For those that are thinking of joining Amazon. Please think twice before you come. This is definitely a place where smart people come to feel like shit!

Recently promoted L6
TC: 350k
Received no new shares because I have already reached the next range.

End of Rant.

    I'm L4 and burnt out, feeling like I'm hitting the dead wall everyday while seeing others surfing.

    After joining Blind I have learnt a lot about Amazon PIP. I have decided not to try ever being on H1-B. What is the use of high TC if we have stress in life. Take care man!
