Here is my situation: 1. Joined Amazon recently (not even a month). 2. Feeling very very depressed and want to go back to my old place. 3. I am not sleeping even for 1hr in the night. 4. Amazon already spent 20K on my relocation. 5. what should I do? How can I negotiate 20K for relocation expenses? Moved from NJ to Seattle Work load is not a problem.
What is so bad about it? Perhaps join some social groups?
Wow I am about to make this post today. Why do you feel burnt out? I joined Amazon recently and feel the same.
Why do you feel that way?
In my case, the manager and team are nice. It is just that I have been putting too much pressure on myself to get things done, of course after watching all the posts on blind.
Is the workload so high?
Switch teams now. I made the mistake of not switching, now I’m on the Dev List and can’t.
Dev List after how long?
What is Dev List ?
I think Amazon has lowered its standard to hire people but haven’t lowered its expectations. I worked on a high profile team but never felt like the workload was enough to consider leaving in less than a month. Besides you have almost a quarter worth of time for ramp up
discuss with your manager; they should be there to help. If that doesn’t work, apply for an internal transfer. If you really just feel that Amazon isn’t the place for you, have that conversation with your manager. Let them know what’s going on. Let them know what you need to be happy and stay. If all else fails, DM me and we can connect on a personal level.
Thanks so much. I think location is the issue for me. Checked informally with a HM in NY and she said that she cannot hire me as I recently started.
Feel free to DM me. My team is hiring in NY.
Definitely switch teams. Explore your options. Good luck!
No moving back to your old place. Find another job
