My main takeaway here is that if OP can make it to Amazon to work on AWS, hell I can make it to a FAANG too.

- NotDEA 3y agoHe worked there as a solutions architect which is a glorified term for slightly technical sales person so I would imagine the interview process being a little easier
- csears 3y agoCan confirm. Although I might say "moderately technical" rather than "slightly technical". Some of my interview questions got pretty deep into networking protocols and Linux OS internals. Regardless, it's a very different role than a software engineering position, which I wouldn't claim to be a good fit for.
- rzz3 3y agoIt’s really, really messed up of you to put the guys employer in a comment. You should remove it. Meanwhile I’ll report this.

- csears 3y agoIf you really want to get a job at AWS, I still have some friends there and I'd be happy to help. In general, I think people overestimate how hard it is to get a job at a big tech company. Their turnover is very high. If you learn the skill they're looking for and understand how to do well in the interviews/hiring process, I'd say your odds are better than 50/50.
