I don't want to stay at Amazon. I don't like it here anymore. The future projects that are lined up for this year look scary af and I don't feel like I'm learning as much anymore. I did a lot for this org and I still feel undervalued. It's insane that I got Top Tier ratings, but then got dev listed 6 months down because some new hire talked shit about me. I pulled off a crazy stunt where I bought myself a lot of time (2 months) but the work was just like 2 weeks worth of work by hacking the codebase a little. I prepared with over 200 LC and read up on Grokking the system design. I have onsites with Snap, Uber, FB, DoorDash, Lyft..and possibly Airbnb. My fear is getting 0 offers and wasting my life away at Amazon. Is there anything I need to know? Any advice from Blinders? TC 220 4 YOE
Panicking will not help, just focus on practicing leetcode, reading book, hitting the gym, etc; keep yourself busy. Action cures fear!
Wow! Posts like this. Relax and meditate, hope you get out of Amazon
Did you finally join Amazon? @Pizza
No. I postponed it to February start. Still thinking if I should really make a move.
Confidence will come only with practise there is no other quick way
You are not wasting your life away at Amazon.
😭Thanks...
Hey, don't worry about it, L4 interview is not hard at all, you will at least get 1 offer for sure with 5 on-sites.
Or you can switch paths and do something else in Amazon
No, I am already relatively more respected than the other engineers...and also I am coming off of the dev list. I have a lot of domain knowledge and I've heavily contributed in the infra of our org. It doesn't make sense to move. And yet I still hate working at Amazon.I just feel like the engineers here are weak so I can't learn from them, and the business is a bit too ruthless.
Do not take it easy , prepare to crack all 5. Postpone if not ready
Yes. I am coming at this very hard. I am doing everything I can to crush these onsites.
Good luck OP!
