I honestly didn’t think about five minutes after it happened. It was my eighth job out of college and my sixth one since 2008.
I knew that Amazon was going to Amazon eventually going in. It accomplished its purpose. I made a lot more money than I could anywhere else as a CRUD developer who had only opened the AWS console two years prior and with no previous strategic consulting experience.
My resume is the bomb now. I also got the chance to be the third highest contributor to a popular (thousands of downloads and hundreds of stars) open source “AWS Solution” that led directly to my current job and I was able to put every useful piece of code I wrote through AWS’s open source process (GitHub AWS Samples). I’ve already used some of the work at my current job (legally MIT licensed).
I am always ready to look for a job. I’ve kept that mentality since 2008.
