- jrockway 15y agoAmazon did not give me a deadline on their offer. Theoretically, I could call them up today and be working in Seattle on Monday.
- azth 15y agoInteresting. Are you a fresh college grad?
- jrockway 15y agoNo, so perhaps my experience is not relevant to the discussion. But companies are as anxious to hire "real people" as they are interns.
- azth 15y agoTrue, but I was just wondering if they'd play the same trick on 'real people' :) Since it's not uncommon for fresh grads to be interviewing with several companies at the same time.
