Recently I got an offer from Amazon; I posted the offer details on Blind seeking inputs from the huge community here. A day later, I received a message (screenshot attached) from an Amazon dude asking me for my picture. How to deal with such "adults" who still can't differentiate between Tinder and Blind? Under the mask of anonymity, they are just bringing down the name of their employer. I have reported this person on Blind already. On a side note, I am a student who is going to graduate in the next few months. Among all the offers I have bagged, Amazon is the best in terms of comp. However, such kind of messages from someone who could be my potential colleague is a big turn-off. Sigh!
Did you reveal you were a female in any fashion? First off, why? Second off, stop it, it's pointless to state that here.
Yes. In the thread comments, someone addressed me as a "guy", I politely corrected. I understand that tech is male-dominated and more than 70% of the times, OP will be a male. I am not sure why I corrected him, might have ignored that comment?
You corrected him because subconsciously you want attention, just like every other girl. You may not even realize it.
There will be weirdos everywhere. This is anonymous internet site so its worse than tinder wrt how folks behave
I'm surprised you only got one message given how huge the community is. If you revealed your gender to provide a TC datapoint, that's appreciated. Just block the sender and move on... Also the sender could just be an Amazon intern trolling around.
Now you’ll receive even more PMs :)
*phew* it wasn't me
Thank you Shaggy
de nada

OMG why do you cry? He never told you anything offensive. If you will provide picture go for it, if not, just don't. Why do you have to make big story?
She didn’t say she cried. Why do you believe she cried? Also, she didn’t make it a big story. Do you see MSNBC involved? She posted on Blind. Literally nothing here is a big story. I could have responded to you also to say “OMG why are you crying about her crying? She never told you anything offensive. If you agree with her, post something, if not, just don’t. Why do you have to make a big story?” Does that help illustrate how ridiculous your post is?
First of all nobody ask your opinion. Second, you are participating in what u call stupid post and that makes you part of the same..
Bad news for you OP: Seattle has a lot of desperate guys. Instead of resenting it, I suggest embrace your popularity and use it to your advantage.
"popularity" on blind is not being a guy
This is run of the mill trolling. All companies (at least big ones) will have employees you don’t like. Thats just life.
