You've posted about this numerous times before. The first, extensive discussion may have had some intellectual curiosity, but at this point it's becoming repetitive and tedious. Please don't keep bringing it up.

Edit: actually, I've banned this account because repeating this turns out to be all it's been doing. Single-purpose accounts aren't allowed here, and when you repeat something as much as this one has, it's indistinguishable from trolling (which is why some users have been wondering if it's a troll account). Please don't use HN this way again.

Thank you.

> Amazon, which nobody is actually impressed by

What?

People know the hiring bar is low and the perks don’t exist and the TC is low etc.

You could probably leverage 2-3 years at Amazon to a much better job somewhere else as a cloud guy. It is all about credentialling and other signalling, to get your foot in the door. Remember the only purpose of a CV is to secure an interview.

Yeah but that’s 2-3 years of lost earnings and respect.

Well, it depends. Any F500 hiring manager would pay top dollar for an ex-Amazon guy to work on their cloud effort, maybe not as much as a FANG but 9-5 with decent job security. If you were looking to settle down somewhere long-term it might be worth the hit.

You are a very good troll, Sir
