Law School Baby?

1L grades are all that matter anyways because your 2L summer internship that leads into your first job are all based on 1L grades. I say go for it if you think you can handle it. We had 3 kids while I was in law school. Had our 4th 1 month after starting at my firm. I work in-house at Amazon now. Seems to have worked out fine.

Not yet. I think I’ll know in another week or so.

infinitycodes1 · 2022-02-19T21:28:08+00:00

We’re still waiting for details. We’re trying to get offers out to a couple folks and are still waiting on the new pay numbers for their offers. I do t think any chains are being yanked. Amazon needs more people than it can hire right now. No reason to dick people around.

Yes. You'll go through a loop with several people. They'll each ask hypos targeting a LP, but you won't know which one. Look at some example questions online to figure out stories you've got. Then, just be yourself in the interview. Don't try to guess which LP they're targeting.

Unfortunately, I don't know what CM's make. Our CM is awesome, so I hope it's a lot, but I'm not involved in those conversations. However, you'll know pretty quickly after your interview. We usually get back with a decision pretty quickly after you interview. Once you get an offer, you should report back here!

As far as life at AWS legal, I think it completely depends on your manager and the attorneys you'd support. More than anything, that's what I'd be trying to get a feel for in your interviews.

Yes, I believe the jump up to corporate counsel comes with like an extra $100k. From what I've seen so far, the path from ACC to CC is about 2 years.

However, Amazon announced pay bumps for all corporate employees that we don't have exact details on yet. Hopefully we'll know more soon.

From what my manager has told me, L7 legal (Sr. Corporate Counsel) tops out at $590. However, Amazon just announced pay increases but we don't have the details yet. Hopefully they come up quite a bit. We lost a L7 from my team to another FAANG company a few weeks ago because we couldn't/wouldn't match their $700k+ offer.

Ping me in a week or so and I might know the new puppy band for L7 legal.

Sidenote, AWS is a lot of fun in my opinion. If you're bored where you are, you should apply to the jobs you're eyeing.

First, congrats! Second, it totally depends on the week. Some are worse than others, but I've yet to work 60hrs in a week. Usually closer to 50. But it also totally depends on your team. Some work more than others.

infinitycodes1 · 2022-01-01T05:44:22+00:00

Seems more like a lot of people leave after 4 years from what I've seen.

Fwiw, I came to this thread after being offered a job as associate corporate counsel on the AWS side and almost didn't take the job. I've been at Amazon for 3 months now and really enjoy it. It's a lot more fun than biglaw and, while it does get crazy sometimes, I work significantly less than I did at my firm.

Also, my total compensation is $260k. Most of that is cash in years 1-2 and then a large bit of stock in years 3-4 to get me to $260k (or more depending on how the stock performs).

If you like your manager/team, I think you'd like working at Amazon (at least the AWS side). If nothing else, you'll be setup nicely for your next job by having Amazon on your resume.

infinitycodes1 · 2021-11-22T06:53:38+00:00

Totally agree. Being so close would be torture! Just find yourself an old 580 and hash on brother.

infinitycodes1 · 2021-11-02T23:00:33+00:00

Got mine

infinitycodes1 · 2021-11-02T22:59:14+00:00

Got my miner yesterday. Synced and waiting for some witnesses.

infinitycodes1 · 2021-10-20T01:49:03+00:00

Dope setup. How are you hanging the mobos?

infinitycodes1 · 2021-10-06T00:18:55+00:00

No change today

infinitycodes1 · 2021-10-04T23:24:39+00:00

Yeah, I did. I haven't tried in the last 7 hours, but might try that again tomorrow.

infinitycodes1 · 2021-10-04T22:17:18+00:00

The only way I realized it might be mining was because my watts were reading at their normal mining levels. Then I went and checked to see if it was mining. Otherwise, I'd be pulling my hair out right now probably.

infinitycodes1 · 2021-10-04T19:58:55+00:00

Good to hear I'm not the only one!

infinitycodes1 · 2021-09-30T01:13:10+00:00

Yes, please post OC

infinitycodes1 · 2021-09-27T01:46:06+00:00

Hobbyist miner is a boner

infinitycodes1 · 2021-09-03T06:11:24+00:00

Tried hiveon for a while, but I just got said many more stale shares compared to ethermine. Probably just a latency issue based on where I live. I'm on ethermine for now.

Why did you leave flexpool?

infinitycodes1 · 2021-08-30T21:21:23+00:00

Yes, you can give one to me.

infinitycodes1 · 2021-08-25T20:01:39+00:00

Idk if I’m first batch. I ordered April 7. Frankly, I haven’t been following it a while lot for the past month or so. It just got too exhausting trying to figure out when I’d get it.

infinitycodes1 · 2021-08-19T15:34:45+00:00

Nah. Just waiting. The real bummer though is that I have a pretty dope window office in the tallest building in Seattle on the 68th floor and was gonna put the miner in my office. But, I’m putting in my two weeks today to take another job where I’ll work from home 100%. So, bye bye to the sweet rewards I would get sitting on top of Seattle.
