When I get recruiter emails from Amazon, I tell them I'd be interested but only if they've made any progress improving their infamous work/life balance. I never get a reply.
- smabie 5y agoEven if they thought they had, they still wouldn't reply. Why hire someone unless they are enthusiastic about joining? (or unless you can't find anyone else, which I doubt applies to AWS).
- pm90 5y ago> Why hire someone unless they are enthusiastic about joining? Because they need engineers. As they grow they will need many more. Their success will partly depend on their ability to get those engineers to work for them who might be productive but don’t drink the kool aid.
- the_only_law 5y agoThey must be desperate because I can’t even get most tech companies to look at me, but they seem to be ok spamming me.
- wly_cdgr 5y ago"Enthusiastic about joining" is very, very far and different from "willing to accept shit wlb to join". You can have both genuine enthusiasm and healthy boundaries / self respect

- kadoban 5y agoWhy should they be entusiastic about joining before you even talk to them? That sounds like a chance to sell them on the company. Why even have recruiters if you're only looking for people that already have enthusiasm to join your company? Just wait for them to come to you then.
- the_only_law 5y agoI’ve had a couple Amazon recruiters message me with the most generic copy/paste spam along with some third party recruiter claiming to be trying to fill a contract role for them. Frankly I just ignore them because of how painfully low effort they were, but I have no interest in going through the FAANG interview circus, nor are they likely to give me enough to relocate.
