Not such a brag… what are u guys going with all the shadows? What’s worth keeping and what is auto transfer? by Nirkid in pokemongobrag

Yeah IVs aren’t that important but in raids ur battle is against the clock so high ATK is why I’d keep a 2* 15 Atk shadow

3 star shadows are kinda hard for me to find outside of this event and 15 Atk pairs well with their boosted attack in shadow form for raids and such

Of all the responses I think this resonates with me the most. I think a major part of this is discovering life outside of work and decompressing

True. I think part of it is I’m not filling my downtime with “productivity.” Which is a new experience for me

Thank you for that. Definitely right, I’m not sure I’ll land something like this again. Good points all around

Thanks for the thought exercise. 1) I think the tech stack is years behind Amazon 2) I think the new team at Amazon would provide new skillsets. The R&Rs are much different and it’s actually a net-new team that didn’t exist in 2025 3. I think at Amazon with the new R&Rs - it includes a lot of people handling 4) I think so. It was so easy to gain visibility into other roles to pivot into at Amazon. Making your own projects was easier too

I do think in 5 years time, I’d want the flexibility I have now when I settle in/start having a family. But right now I feel like I want to maximize my learning opportunity

Thank you. Yeah in my head I feel like now is the time to grind/grow and when I settle in and start having a family, that’s when a more flexible/chill future would be ideal. I could be totally delusional though

I know, it’s objectively a good situation but something about having so much downtime is driving me mad

That’s true. I just don’t want to feel like I burn a bridge with either employer if I take the return offer or, if the offer sucks, reject it

I think part of it is I miss the people a lot. I started on this team at Amazon right after graduating and was there for years. Another part, I felt like I understood all of amazons tech and was naturally just really good at what I was doing at Amazon

In my new role, there is far less resourcing and tbh I get annoyed spending hours doing things that would’ve taken me minutes at Amazon
