An interview with one of the largest, most important tech companies in the world. Everything about landing a job there makes you more valuable. You have the prestige of having worked at AWS, who are known for hiring only top talent. And you’ll have worked at a scale unrivaled outside of a handful of other large tech companies. I’ve heard nothing but terrible things about working at AWS, but if you can tolerate it for a while, I’m sure you’ll have gained a lot of valuable experience. The trouble, it seems, is getting out before AWS makes you completely miserable. /(Based on people I know who have worked there, and comments I’ve read around the internet. None of this is first-hand experience.)/

I am still curious about the other question, though.
