Whoa he became a manager straight out of college? How does that happen outside of a startup?

  Amazon hires very inexperienced managers. This is unusual among top-tier companies.

    OP can maybe comment or correct (btw Congrats on making the jump, OP!) but given the business/operations language this might be the Ops Manager ladder, on which there is an entry-level manager position. IMO interesting, and cool if it works out for everyone. https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/899809/amazon-operations-area-manager-2020-entry-level https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/899809/amazon-operations-are... (trivia, Amazon is listed as having 840k employees, I knew it was high of course, but wow)

      This is very interesting! So by getting the job you get the valuable experience of managing 50+ people, but the trade-off is that you are expected to works shifts, stay on your feet for more than 12h, if needed to physical work, and be willing to relocate. I understand why they will have a hard time finding experienced managers for this, but it is also a great opportunity for newly graduated young people who are serious about getting in to management.
