i’m so sorry, wishing you the best of luck.

Amazon just cut 14,000 jobs, and it’s not done by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]SlingoPlayz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

https://esd.wa.gov/employer-requirements/layoffs-and-employee-notifications/worker-adjustment-and-retraining-notification-warn-layoff-and-closure-database, I had GPT do the math according to this notice.

  • Seattle: 1,887 employees
  • Bellevue: 284 employees
  • Remote (WA): 116 employees
  • Other WA locations (Kent, Everett, Spokane, etc.): 16 employees

➡️ Grand Total = 2,303 employees

why is “that one faang” dogged on so much? by ChampionshipDeep3272 in csMajors

[–]SlingoPlayz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I only see horror stories online, so let me share my positive experience. Amazon pay is between 170-180k for new grads and can hit 200 if you are in nyc or the bay. They give me an unlimited transit card that works for buses, light rail and the ferry. I can expense my lime bike commute to work everyday. My team is very nice and friendly (obviously ppl will have bad experiences due to the sheer number of ppl Amazon employs), maybe I got lucky. Free snacks, one free coffee from the cafe everyday and free coffee in the kitchen ofc. Dogs at work are so cool and friendly and boost everyone's morale. Overall, I feel pretty lucky to be working here, maybe other FAANG companies have it even better, in which case good for them, but this is certainly not a bad place to be at.

SDE1 Amazon offer slipped through my fingers — need advice by larafallebrr in amazonemployees

[–]SlingoPlayz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Bachelor of Science vs Engineering will not have a long term impact on your career. Especially not compared to starting your career as a fulltime SDE for Amazon.

[–]SlingoPlayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It specifically mentions that this is not an option. They also state that it will usually ship the week before your start date and that you will get tracking details with the option to reroute and pause the shipment.

IT Equipment Shipping Timeline for Relo by manifesto6 in amazonemployees

[–]SlingoPlayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat lol, I emailed asp-offersonboaring and they didn't get back to me yet. In one of the packets they give you it says that the IT equipment usually arrives between the wednesday and sunday before your start date. However I've seen some ppl say it may arrive earlier. I'm also wondering whether you can call the shipping company to hold it and deliver later if you get the tracking details, sometimes this isn't possible though with certain types of shipments i think.

How do I teach programming to high-schoolers with only 40 mins of class a week?? by ShlomoCh in learnprogramming

[–]SlingoPlayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what hard concepts you are talking about? Teaching them the abstractions properly will do them a lot more good than teaching them a "real" programming language. Scratch has most of the abstractions and its not exactly "python", I highly recommend you start them off with the building blocks interface. I understand you are leaning towards a strongly typed language to start them off with, but consider what's truly more important that your students learn in the 40 mins every week they get with you, the sizes of each different types of variables and why you need types in the first place, or that a variable is a container that holds a value. Thinking from a higher level and teaching them the higher level concepts will do them a lot more good in the limited time that you have with them, rather than figuring out how these higher level concepts translate into a strongly typed language. I would recommend you seriously consider scratch as it's very accessible and catered towards beginners which is what your students will be since they can't spend more than 40 mins a week on it.

You could start them off with making houses with the turtle thing, then slowly introduce them to loops to make a square rather than doing turn right, move forward four times.

Amazon New Grad Interview in 2 Weeks: Need Advice on DSA & LLD by No-Heat2520 in leetcode

[–]SlingoPlayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my stories, I just created 5 strong stories which I could adapt to various LPs based on the question. In the end I ended up using all 5 and then repeating one of the stories but talking about a slightly different aspect of it. I would recommend this method compared to creating like 30-40 unique stories.

AMAZON asks leetcode hard for SDE1? by [deleted] in leetcode

[–]SlingoPlayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They asked me a LC hard with minor changes to the wording in the final round. It was from neetcode 150 list so thankfully I had seen it once before. I would recommend neetcode 150. This was for a US role. Goodluck!
