If I can't get into Meta or Google, would it be worth a few months or years at Amazon for the name recognition?

Not sure I'll make it through the Google and Meta interviews. I've only done 25 LC problems. I got my job at Qualcomm because I was on point with communication the day of my interview and was able to think through all the problems and get solutions even though I'd never leetcoded. I didn't have any crazy graph traversal questions or anything that requires all this additional study.
Now I want higher TC and a change of role. Is Amazon worth a try?
Forgot the blind tax, sorry!
YoE: 1.5
TC: 145k

It was actually more like my first year was out of fear and my second year was because I was chasing promo carrot sticks. Eventually I did get promo, but I worked way too much to get it
Amazon opened so many opportunities for me that otherwise was not possible.
Also, I know interviewers are being asked to not to put much pressure on SDE1s for any kind of random reasoning
Joining in one month, see you there!
