I am curious on your choice to post this on a throwaway account. From the details - works in AWS, interviews a lot, teaches internal course for conducting interviews I would imagine that it would be easy for people within AWS to reasonably guess your identity.
- amznawsthrow 11y agoI think you underestimate how many thousands of people work on AWS
- dman 11y agoWow, didnt realise the division was that big.
- jldugger 11y agoAmazon has 150,000 employees. Granted most of those aren't in IT, but it's a pretty big place. Take a look at all the services they provide, and think about what it takes to deploy and support them. Their cloud computing As-A-Service effort offers load balancers, SQL clusters, VMs, archive/backup storage, DNS, network topologies, AV transcoding, Hadoop, machine learning, etc. Each of those paid offerings has a develop, test, deploy and maintain effort associated with it, as well as effort to maintain the authentication & authorization components, and provide consistent user interfaces across technology designed by a plethora of vendors. When you factor in management overhead and unreleased products, it seems like a few thousand is reasonable.
- meowface 11y agoSeems unlikely. Based on what he revealed, there are probably at least a few hundred possible candidates.
