Whatever you believe is right. Amazon is what you make of it just like everything else. With such low spirits ahead of your start date I suggest you defer it further, we expect enthusiasm at Amazon,you will be rewarded handsomely in a couple years. But that first impression has got to be one of a winner , a go getter. YOU cleared the hiring bar , why do you look back? Who cares if it is lower than Facebook or Google , are you trying to tell me that is the ceiling of an Amazonians potential. We want everyone to feel great working at Amazon , and you are no exception . Nobody will tell you to buck up at Amazon , you will just stop being relevant and quit one day if you don't have the fire in you from day one.

It absolutely is what I make of it. I got the team that I wanted in the city I've wanted to live in since I was a kid. I want to make the most of it personally but I have doubts I'll get much out of it even with that. I'm really afraid of getting PIPed within the first review cycle. My stock isn't going to appreciate much either and my TC is very low compared to my peers.

  Why, oh why, are you starting out so defeated?! I'm not sure the origin of the quote... "If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." You're shooting yourself in the foot before you even start!!! STOP it! Just go in and apply what you know, learn where you don't, and work hard. It's going to be hard, but it'll be worth it.
