SDE 1 (L4) just finished my second year here. Was down-leveled, but drank the Amazon kool-aid and figured "hey, I'll learn and grow at Amazon." That was a big nope. Worst of all, I had a manipulative manager that took advantage of my eagerness for L5 promotion, resulting in much wasted effort I can't even talk about in promo docs. Pretty sure something finally happened after a bunch of complaints & low connections as they just resigned last week completely out of the blue.
I just got accepted to a Master's program, but it's in another state. It's expensive. I know Amazon does not subsidize education. But, is it possible for me to ask for part-time school + full-time remote work or full-time school + part-time remote work? Anyone know anything?
I like my division a lot, but it was just a horrible team fit w/ bad manager and boring work. I could see myself still working here longer term surprisingly.
YOE: 4
TC: 190k
I still manage to get good feedback w/ very strong universal praise for a subset of LPs.
