Is this true?
Since joining Amazon 2 years ago the rate of recruiters hitting my inbox has increased around 3x and I regularly get contacts from Google, Facebook, and MS recruiters, plus recruiters from random small shops in the Bay Area.
I suppose you are exaggerating.
- bestcoder69 5y agoThese HM's here and there that hate Amazon engineers are just a rounding error compared the number of companies trying to specifically poach Amazon engineers. Despite the sense that Amazon is a lesser-FAANG or whatever to some (so annoying people even think like that - like the snobs who say "lesser Ivy").
- rejectedandsad 5y agoI mean they do think Amazon engineers are dumber though. If they didn’t I’d get interviews at Stripe and Pinterest etc
- bestcoder69 5y agoSorry but... nicest way I can imagine to put this is that you're generalizing something that might be more of a local phenomenon.
- rejectedandsad 5y agoI've never heard a Googler or FB'er think Amazonians are smart or talented, ever. They look down on people like me.
- tmule 5y ago“lesser-FAANG or whatever” I’m a tad amused that you’re not specifically opposed to the notion of FAANG, but find the notion of a lesser FAANG unpalatable. If you’re okay playing the elitism game, then it’s hard to sympathize with you when you’re the victim.
