Hi Blindfam - The title speaks for itself. Got pip'd and chose to leave and took the sev rather fight it. Married and have a 2 yo child. No visa issues. 1.5yrs @ AWS. L4 - Non tech YoE - 8+ TC - 140K # AWS #Amazon #Microsoft #Square #Dropbox #Facebook #Datadog #Hashicorp #Uber #Vmware #Yelp #Deloitte #faang #paypal #Google #IBM #Facebook #Pip #referral #hiring #recruiting #jobhunt
Role and level? Also could you share how much the severance was and how long you’ve been at Amazon?
PM me if you see an open role
Appreciate it. Will do.
PM me for Google, happy to help.
Thank you! Dm'd.
Hmu if you're looking for startup route
Thanks! If the TC is right, I'm open to it. I started my tech career from a startup (6 yrs).

Amazon or AWS are always a bad choice if one wants to avoid PIP / Pivot due to the toxic management culture and you made a good choice to take maximum severance (bad choice to even join Amazon). However, as you have stated no visa issues (many Amazon/AWS are chained) then the IT world is yours.... Look for a company which aligns with your ideals and read heavily into Blind about them, to secure your next position and avoid any skit shows such as Amazon.

8 YOE @ 140k? Technical role? If so they did you a favor :/
Yeah. I was told to humble down when I moved to the states 4-5 years ago and that my 6+ yoe from foreign land doesn't count here in NA. I kind of do see it as a blessing tbh.
