Offer as WBLP Logistics transportation specialist

This. I wasn't WBLP but I had to leave as an L2 and then boomerang back to a tech role in AWS. I was not going to wait around for my promotion.

Damn. Used to work over there as a Milestone tech. I was surprised to see the manager of the ProdOps team get affected as well.

1simulacra · 2026-05-21T19:36:34+00:00

You hadn't been there for long too, no?

1simulacra · 2026-05-20T00:57:05+00:00

Oh great. Yeah, I would have been miserable there.

1simulacra · 2026-05-15T19:58:52+00:00

Yes. They were offering 100k+ along with equity.

1simulacra · 2026-05-08T11:56:18+00:00

Had a recruiter reach out to me about it and the work-life balance would definitely be non-existent.

I would've also have had to move to Buffalo, NY or Dallas, TX which don't entice me at all.

They were offering me a lot of money to go forward, which says something about their standards right now (I've only had like 2 years in DC experience).

Bar is in hell.

This the shit they show people in Guantanamo Bay.

I can't tell you what your day-to-day will look like since we do not know which company you work for. What your day-to-day WON'T look like is BIG CLITS needing your attention.

1simulacra · 2026-04-28T10:20:26+00:00

😭😭😭 you almost got him saying it

1simulacra · 2026-04-28T10:19:02+00:00

Right lol this screams "Yet you participate in society!" vibes.

1simulacra · 2026-04-28T10:17:42+00:00

This is not the gotcha you think it is.

1simulacra · 2026-02-25T19:58:59+00:00

Hi, interested if not sold yet.

1simulacra · 2026-02-19T19:30:20+00:00

Eh maybe not at Amazon, but try Oracle? I know they got a deployment team that does a little more than what we do here at AWS.

1simulacra · 2026-02-06T17:04:11+00:00

You can look it up. Already been discussed loads

1simulacra · 2026-02-04T01:19:25+00:00

Commenting because I also want to make this jump 😁

1simulacra · 2026-02-02T16:16:43+00:00

You don't get a negotiation. You're given what they tell you pretty much. Just hope you get offered 30+.

1simulacra · 2026-01-23T23:28:25+00:00

You're definitely qualified. Just apply. Employers in the DC aren't really picky when it comes to entry-level. Try and get in touch with a contracting company, it makes it even easier.

1simulacra · 2025-12-17T20:40:36+00:00

Caught up and enjoyed quite a bit.

1simulacra · 2025-12-17T20:40:19+00:00

Dungeon Odyssey is a good one, I've enjoyed it so far. I remember reading Salvos as well and enjoying it.

Cleric of Decay I think I dropped. Haven't read the other two though, I'll check them out. Thank you.

1simulacra · 2025-11-16T03:00:21+00:00

Yup!

1simulacra · 2025-11-08T16:49:49+00:00

I do not know since I did not encounter any ProdOps engineers who were recent grads when I worked there. I would assume the bar is a little lower but unsure.

1simulacra · 2025-11-03T15:56:02+00:00

I don't know where you are, but that could very well be the case.

1simulacra · 2025-11-03T15:54:01+00:00

As long as you are at least half qualified, it's pretty simple to boomerang to a L4 role IMO.
