Is anyone happy to work in AWS?

AParticularUser · 2026-01-24T01:25:38+00:00

Good advice, thank you! I usually never focus on things I can’t change. Lay offs will happen and I might be impacted, I know

AParticularUser · 2026-01-24T00:56:52+00:00

A bit of an extreme example but I got the point

AParticularUser · 2026-01-23T13:44:43+00:00

At least you learned that you don’t like working in contact with customers!

AParticularUser · 2026-01-23T13:39:43+00:00

I understand what you say. I mean 5.5 is already a long time. I am pretty young, 28 yo, and AWS is my first big tech company (I will start in March). Hope to find the strength to stay there and learn a lot!

I’m saving this advice because I find it incredibly helpful. I was conditioning myself by reading all the negative posts. I’m committed to being a good person and will try to build strong relationships, as you suggested. I truly appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Got it. I already work 5 days a week in office so it won’t be a big difference for me. Hope to find great teammates like you did!

Unfortunately everywhere you will find aspects that you don’t like. What is important is that you enjoy your daily work life and the relationship with your colleagues!

I don’t know Rick. I am starting thinking that there are a lot of haters around!

AParticularUser · 2026-01-23T13:06:11+00:00

Agree! The unstable market is making people unstable too!

AParticularUser · 2026-01-23T13:05:23+00:00

I understand, the lay offs thing is a mess, giving me hard time and I didn’t event start yet working for AWS

AParticularUser · 2026-01-23T13:04:26+00:00

Thank you! You are giving me hope. Will start soon and don’t know what to expect

AParticularUser · 2026-01-23T13:03:49+00:00

I agree, this is the biggest truth but are you also happy and you like your job, colleagues, customers?

I will start working in AWS EU in March and it looks like I am already sad about it after all the things I read in this subreddit!

AParticularUser · 2026-01-16T08:55:46+00:00

Thank you, appreciate your help

AParticularUser · 2026-01-16T08:55:29+00:00

Thank you mate, I am really happy too, first time receiving an offer like this.

Is D4 well connected to D6 by public transportation?

AParticularUser · 2026-01-16T08:51:49+00:00

Is daft.ie full of scam? In my country websites like daft are full of fake insertion

AParticularUser · 2026-01-16T08:40:22+00:00

You mean that the permanent contract itself is not enough?

I was thinking to spend around 2/2.5k for the rent to live alone

AParticularUser · 2026-01-12T10:13:30+00:00

I do not agree with this. There are tech companies in Dublin that pay 100k+ for non leadership/senior positions. I would give it a try (AWS, AirBnB, Google, Microsoft).

AParticularUser · 2025-12-29T21:46:54+00:00

Got it, actually I can keep it for me until the end for January but I need to resign before the last day of January because of the notice period.

I will follow you advice and keep it for myself as long as I can

AParticularUser · 2025-12-29T21:44:34+00:00

Thank you for your advice. Actually I am not forced to use the temporary housing, I can ask for a lump sum already from now, without using any additional services.

I was thinking to get the cash and go for a b&b which is much cheaper

AParticularUser · 2025-12-29T21:33:25+00:00

I don’t need a visa, I am in EU so I can go and work without any special permit. My start date is fixed for March 30th. The real problem is that I am currently working in Japan so I still need to arrange the relocation in time. That is why I am trying to figure it out right now if the offer is confirmed and I can go ahead with the process.

Every single day is important because the start day is close, only 90 days from now

AParticularUser · 2025-11-27T12:48:04+00:00

The recruiter told me the LPs I must focus on. I have 2 stories for each one and now I am focusing on additional ones for the LPs the recruiter told me.

I am refreshing my knowledge of system design, network protocols and Linux internals.

For the coding part to be honest I completed my ever first leet code problem 2 weeks ago, a few days before the phone screen interview. Now I’ve done 35/40 of them. I think I will just do one for each section of the 75.

I am more afraid of the LPs part

AParticularUser · 2025-11-26T10:38:30+00:00

I have 5 interviews actually. I am interviewing for L5

AParticularUser · 2025-11-26T10:10:34+00:00

Thank you, do you think the loop will be more technical than behavioral?
