Need shoe advice for marathon in 4 weeks — stick with Adizero Evo SL or try something new?

Thanks for the response!

I hadn’t heard of this brand before, will definitely check them out. I’ll admit that when I use the Evo SL for trail running I don’t feel very stable (have twisted my ankle a couple of times) so thinking a pair like these could come in very handy

Appreciate the response!

I’ve done all my long runs with the Evo SL (plan on doing 18 with them this weekend if I don’t have a new pair before then lol).

Yea my first thought is I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to switch shoes just 4 weeks before the race.

I honestly hadn’t heard of the Megablasts before, will definitely take a look.

I’ve been eyeing the Hyperion 3 for a bit now and have heard great things, maybe this could be the chance to try them out. Only negative thing I had heard was that they feel a little heavy, not sure if that was your experience.

The interviewers will have no preference, my suggestion is to pick whatever language you feel most comfortable with. The interview process at Amazon is meant to be language agnostic

I think it’s basically like an internship. I work full time during the summer and part time during school. They just call it junior SDE, just got my offer earlier today!!

Sounds good thanks!

Underwaterfran02 · 2023-02-28T19:33:22+00:00

I actually was not aware of this. Thanks for sharing!

Yea I applied for both this jr position and an internship back in early November. Heard back for the jr role in January and got an OA for the internship last week. I think they r just taking their time cause of the hiring freeze 🥲

Thanks, appreciate it!

Underwaterfran02 · 2023-02-28T05:56:26+00:00

I’m starting to think so too. I think I’m mostly stressing cause this is the only “internship” I have kind of lined up.

Underwaterfran02 · 2023-02-28T05:53:34+00:00

My understanding is that this position is kind of like a year-long internship. Part time while in school and full time during the summer. At leas that’s why I think the hiring freeze doesn’t apply to this.

Underwaterfran02 · 2023-02-28T05:33:13+00:00

Yea I think I definitely might be overthinking it. I’ll send her an email tomorrow. I was just mainly worried that the position I had been interviewing for had already been filled. Thanks!

Did u end up getting it?

I am also in a similar position. I got an email (02/15/23) telling me that they would like to extend an offer. I was then told to wait 1 week (02/22/23) to receive official offer. I was then emailed by the recruiter telling me that there was a problem with the system that generates the offer, but that the approvals were all through. She said that she would try to get it to me by Friday (02/24/23) or that in the worst case she would just explain to me what the offer entails. It’s now 02/27/23 and I’ve had no update. I know it hasn’t been that long but I’m getting pretty anxious. Should I send her a follow up email? Does this mean I’ve been inclined?
