For those not in Seattle/SFO, the only local AWS jobs for techies are professional services jobs. Most major cities have an AWS office now and they are hiring smart people aggressively.

How does working for AWS in professional services differ from Dell, Oracle (non OCI), Netapp, EMC, etc etc. Those jobs companies are considered ok, nothing special. Professional services jobs are usually long hours at the customers location, jacka$$ customers, travel, and frustration.

    Are they special? I hear there is very high turnover and a lot of low quality hires in AWS ProServe, as well as shit WLB. You said it yourself- they are hiring aggressively.

    Compensation is always going to competitive for Amazon. It’s similar to an SDE. But WLB is absolutely shit. You’re don’t get recognized for your work because clients expect you to work hard. Amazon is frugal so you don’t get paid for travel time. Holiday Inn Express hotels. Growth is great. Getting an interview is basically just luck with so many applicants finding out about Amazon ProServe org. AWS ProServe people are technical folk that want to be on the client-side but similar technical breadth. The only thing comparing us to the companies you’ve listed is that we would probably pay more than double their salaries.
