I met my girlfriend(who is current wife) during Pandemic and decided to move to her city. I did apply for remote work permanently, and little progress has been made on the application. Now Amazon requires employees to return to office. I do not want dramatic life change. I have started the leetcode to prepare for interview. I have concern for current job market. I would like the following options preferred in order. 1. Continue my current remote work application and see if approved/rejected finally. 2. Seek remote opportunities inside Amazon, or office in Phoenix. 3. Seek remote opportunities outside Amazon, or office in Phoenix. 4. Return back to Seattle. Big change to current life style. Dramatic change to my current family. I do not think things will work out for me. Let me know if there are any opportunities available. YOE: 6 TC: 300k
6 Yoe and already married. Best of luck 🤞 friend. You have a lot of problems to look at
That’s awesome you met and married so quickly. Lots of guys drag it out 5-7 years. Your first commitment is to your wife and family (sounds like you already know that). Do what Is best for you two. Sucks that Amazon cares so little about their employees.
I know it’s easy to bash amazon but in op case he is not a remote approved employee. As an adult we have to face life.
Leave Amazon is your best chance
Same situation here, good luck! Currently at G with a full remote role. I just want to say hopefully you save a lot of money by working remote. I'm definitely concerned about Amazon's move, but I think I'll be fine if I have to leave the job at G to take a lower pay- remote job.
Leave Amazon and enjoy your life mate. She will not be young forever.
Girlfriend AND wife in the same city? Sounds dangerous bro, good luck
😅my girlfriend turns to be my current wife. I have adjusted to avoid confusion.
