I received a written offer from Amazon for SDE2 last month. TLDR I was stupid and I rejected the offer. Recruiter encouraged me to reach out again if I find an opportunity and they can reinstate the offer. Recruiter is ghosting me for now unfortunately. I'm very humbly looking to join Twitch - I realize now that you can get in via Amazon. Happy to explain more in DMs. Please leave a comment if you can help or if you are a HM at Twitch. Thank you! Update: I've got someone to help, thank you for the DMs. I'll keep updating.
Where is the not stupid option?
Thank you lol
I got offers from FB and Google and immediately told Amazon no thanks. I got L6 from both companies and Amazon was trying to down level me based on the results of a single phone screen lol. Once I told the recruiters I had two L6 offers they tried to turbo schedule something for the level they’d refused to give me, but I didn’t really feel like interviewing anymore. Shit is exhausting. It’s not stupid to reject them. Go for a better company. If you want to be treated well go to Google. If you want to be treated like an impact pushing piece of shit but get paid insane money for it go to Facebook. But don’t go to Amazon and get the worst of both worlds lol.
Well I would say its not stupid at all. It takes something to say no to amazon.. You can join in a better company for sure
Still trying for other companies.
Love this positivity
Why you rejected last month?
He was holding out for twitch to contact him since he didn’t realize…..
Not stupid rejecting Amazon. Now stupid regretting it
^this
big facts
Talk to some recruiter at Twitch (instead of your amazon recruiters) and see if they can revive the offer. Also shit ton of amazon recruiter keep spamming your inbox - why not ask one of them
I actually don't have the spamming problem. I can't get in touch with a recruiter at Twitch, either.
LinkedIn is your friend
You dodged a bullet, amazon sucks
Twitch too though?
Twitch has its own culture plus amazon compensation. Great to work at
in India we have a saying. "UDTA HUA TEER APNI BUND MEIN LENA". Translation:- catch a flying arrow that was headed elsewhere and stabbing yourself with it. This is exactly what you're trying to do right now
I will keep this in mind
Kuch bhi bc.
Opportunity is hard to come by and u don't know when it will come. So saying no to amazon at the time might have made u feel like a boss for 1-2 days but now you are suffering. Amazon is great if u can find the right team and you will get a ton of experience. I cannot speak to twitch tho
Thank you
Every company sucks blood mate. Just this force pip and ura give cherry on top to Amazon. But whatever happens, happens for good.
After joining Amazon, OP will share the same old story where they tried changing the team and put on dev plan/PIP.

you were not stupid when you rejected it. however now you actually are
Thank you Satya
Its not really being stupid. Its just being naive/not experienced with that stuff. Dont make people make you feel bad. Youre smart enough to get big offers like that, expect much more from yourself in the future!
