I’m at AWS right now and have been working 60-70hr weeks for the last year. I’ve passed the Square interviews and waiting to hear about leveling/offer. I think I’ve developed stockholm syndrome because I’m wondering if I should take it. My manager is really happy with me right now and i have great visibility and career growth, but I’m getting sick of the never ending “urgent” requests and late nights. But I feel like leaving might be taking a step back career wise or maybe I’m too wrapped up in Blind/FAANG culture? Can knock some sense into me? Square is remote-first and Amazon is forcing RTO. My office hasn’t had to RTO yet, so maybe the reality hasn’t hit me yet. TC: 350k #square #amazon
what’s the offer at square?
Have you done team match?
I heard Square is really chill. Could likely double your TC/per hour worked
> My office hasn’t had to RTO yet, so maybe the reality hasn’t hit me yet. Did you miss the giant thread about Amazon HR sending emails if you weren’t doing 3 days RTO? It’s coming for you too. If you care about remote, leave Amazon.
Oh I’ve seen alright. There’s still a small part of me that thinks maybe it won’t be too bad to RTO. Even though I have been in office in the past and hated it. Just my mind playing tricks on me.
That’s fair. I also thought it wouldn’t be too bad but now I’m looking to leave ASAP after my next vest
Too early to say without knowing TC. Also, Forget what managers promise, it isn’t worth anything. They can string you along for years and lay you off anytime.
Leave if you don’t wanna die young for Amazon
Wait until you really get an offer. Tons of people stuck in team matching.
Time to fly brother, wishing you a great WLF balance and healthy life ahead.
Definitely not a step back: I was previously at G/N and was very surprised to see how many ex-fang people there are here (i’m on the cash side and almost my entire team has been at one of the fangs). Come enjoy some good WLB culture and be free of your shackles.

Go to square and if you did not like it come back to Amazon as a boomerang.
