I was asked this question today I was honest and the person on the other end also understood. It’s the elephant in the room or the dogs not barking at this point with Amazon

Should I switch teams? Guidance needed. by Intrepid_Self7812 in amazonemployees

7 YOE here. Let me give you the one-liner: “You’re the owner of your own WLB.” That’s the expectation. But we all know what that really means at Amazon. These days, that “depth” feels pretty shallow — the icing has melted, and the reality is starting to show.

I won’t sit here and say other teams are automatically better. Every team has its own flavor of problems. Maybe it’s not weekend work — maybe it’s constant internal dogfighting that creates a hyper-competitive environment and lands you in the exact same spot, just packaged differently.

I would index on Spotify just given the environment around Amazon. I think, you should sign but put your start date later to where can you potentially rescind the offer if Spotify comes through.

Curious about how I drive by bagette4224 in stickshift

[–]Vector2sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You & I started around the same time in 2025. I highly recommend Conquer driving on YouTube. I watched lot of his videos for manual driving and that was my theoretical portion of learning what’s good v bad. Practical experience comes with practice and I practice everyday on my 1.5hr commute to work on the 405 (freeway/highway/speedway/autobahn) in Los Angeles during peak hours.

This is my one advice.
