"I worked at Amazon right out of college "
They count on finding people who want that on their resume and don't care about how awful it is for a couple of years. But once you get beyond that point you realize how terrible it is.
- ams6110 11y agoMost jobs "right out of college" are grunt work jobs. My first job out of college was for a big consulting services company. At this time their clients were still all mainframe shops; there was no internet at least not that the general public was aware of, and certainly no web dev jobs yet. So I worked 60 - 70 hours a week writing COBOL code. It was crap work but the salary was good and having that employer on my resume was worth it. I knew in less than a year that I wouldn't be there long-term, and their business model actually counted on it. Amazon is doing nothing new or unusual here.
