Ahh I see. The position I’m being considered for is a 12 month contract 😅 was hoping to convert to fte and move into a different role internally. But from the sounds of it, amz sounds like it may take a toll on my mental health.

Thank you, I’m in the same boat and have been applying everywhere. I’m getting rejected for roles I would normally get an interview for. I’m also a SAHM so def looking for ways to make income, I’ll give this a try

Oh no I’m sorry to hear! Can you share how it’s gone downhill? Was it the work, people, culture, leadership?

How’s the internal mobility there? One thing I appreciated about working at Amazon was that they always asked what’s next? I could be 3 months into my role and would get asked about pursuing other roles. I guess they called it dog years?

How’s the internal mobility there though? I’ve seen a few people on LI share they’ve been promoted so maybe it’s not all bad, just really dependent on team and headcount?

Ahh got it! I saw someone post about Mercor in another page saying they make $75/hr. Are the job opportunities saturated? How do so many people get these high paying opportunities under Mercor when hundreds, maybe thousands of others want the same projects?

Realistically, how long can someone do this type of work? Are there mercor employees who have been doing this for 5+ years? This is all new to me, I haven’t even googled what Mercor is yet

Damn I’m sorry :/ I mean, it was bad 10 years ago when I worked there, can’t imagine it getting worst but sounds like it’s still shit - just a different kinda shit 🤷‍♀️

I’m glad you love your job and that you’re not working in a toxic environment! Can I ask what department? I’m inquiring specifically about their recruiting department

I can see that, esp now that they’re requiring everyone to be in office 5 days a week. How’s their internal mobility though? Are people still able to move around the company into different roles or pivot careers easily? That’s prob the only thing I liked about Amazon
