I'm currently at AWS. My boss hates me. He belittles things I do, puts me down constantly. He even put me on focus for BS reasons until almost all of my senior level coworkers vouched for me and got me off. I'm in late stage interviews with another unrelated team at AWS as well as with another company that's not a FAANG, but does have a multi billion dollar market cap. I know Amazon/AWS gets a bad rap, but I'm just curious about the thoughts of the strangers on the Internet. TC:315 L5 15yoe #engineering #software #swe
Get back to work, Carl. I’m sick of your whining
What happened to Rajesh?
Is he not doing the needful?
Amazon is a 💩 hole
I’m sad we got so many of our senior managers/directors from there the past 3-4 years :-(
Ugh us too at Capital One but at the exec level
Dude why the f does FAANG or not matter. You’re at Amazon and most people seem to think it sucks. So either roll the dice and change teams within Amazon to find out to just go to a different company, FAANG or not.
How are you a L5 with 15 YoE?
Only working at startups, getting shitty exp. and untreated ADHD are not exactly great things to do
Did you take the test for ADHD or does your symptoms match?
You stay at Amazon if you can’t get into a better company otherwise you leave. If you have an offer, take it.
FAANG doesn’t mean anything. It’s an arbitrary acronym made up by some idiot on TV. In terms of prestige from people who care about that sort of thing it is not even top 30 and everybody in the industry knows it’s a h1b slave factory. https://prestigehunt.com Good luck
money matters not some BS prestige
says a h1b slave
Once your get the offers, edit this post and let us know. As the 4 votes in this poll. I agree to tough it out if there are no other choices. Something is better than nothing. I have been through worst at work, anything short of being abused. But just be conscious that toughing it out for a long time will have a lasting negative impact. Every cloud has a silver lining. It's a learning opportunity for you to work out how you'll handle such scenarios in the future. Holding under ridiculing pressure, being belittled before mates. Keep your chin up, learn, improve. This isn't the end of the line, this is just a playground ;)
Forte season is up sooo..... You know what to do
May I know do you work in cloud as a solution architect or you work as software engineer?
The way you write faang feels like you think you’re at some star studded company. It’s Amazon bro nobody gives a damn. Move to another company.
I just feel like maybe the money or the prestige of AWS is a big thing. I remember the recruiter telling me they basically only accept 2% of applicants, which really busted my self esteem at the time
I passed Amazon's interview at some point not too long ago and yet here I am in a dying company.
