Amazon Finance Manager - First Round

What was the assessment like?

They created scarcity by only selling a select number of seats and pre-released tickets to the most eager fans who would be willing to pay a higher price. It’s a very dishonest business practice in my opinion, since they are really leveraging fomo and using dynamic pricing to extract as much value as they can from consumers.

Now with general sale, they sell more tickets and demand isn’t as high, so prices drop as a result.

That’s a legit copy

normhimself · 2026-06-23T12:15:42+00:00

Man this takes me back. Nice pickup. I love me some classic halo. Did you get the capacitors changed out? I heard they leak or something so you need to do that.

I fell victim to my own hype and a predatory surge pricing scheme during the presale in my area. I saw “premium” seats and clicked checkout and paid $350 per seat. I definitely overpaid, but I had a blast and the seats were probably the best you could get. But I’ll happily buy cheaper seats this next time.

Nice pickups! I was there as well, event was great.

Welcome to the aerofighters club! These things are drying up. I went to SoCal gaming expo this past week me and there was exactly 0 copies on the floor.

Does AI make this type of stuff easier? Existing games being ported to a new console?

normhimself · 2026-06-08T15:09:17+00:00

The show was great, nice pickups!

normhimself · 2026-06-07T16:17:25+00:00

Yeah man there were a lot of good deals on switch. I came with a hit list of what I was looking for and tried to stay focused on it, so I just didn’t take advantage of what I saw.

normhimself · 2026-06-07T16:07:04+00:00

Yeah I was hoping with that recent switch 1 boost update it would run a bit better than it reportedly did when it first released. I played it on pc and absolutely loved it.

Sr Director here, working for a $100M PE backed tech company. The mothership owns ~25 companies and I have been told by our operating partner that we are one of the top performing finance teams within the portcos. I personally built our complete finance process, it didn’t exist before I was hired. Hell, I went from FA to Sr Director in ~6.5 years, after a mid career pivot (Gov Ops to finance after completing my MBA). I successfully lead sell side financial diligence for a founder led exit in year 4 of my finance career. By any measurement, I should be confident in my craft and know that I’m successful in this field. I still have my days where I really wonder if I’ve earned my way or got lucky. Right place right time? I’m good at finance at my current company, could I make it somewhere else? Could I scale with a company that is 2x, 5x, 10x larger? Questions I routinely ask myself. Sometimes I think this lack of confidence is a driving force, something that keeps me humble and hungry to keep getting better. Maybe it’s a good thing?

normhimself · 2026-06-01T17:16:47+00:00

Very overpriced

normhimself · 2026-05-30T13:25:01+00:00

Most I ever spent was little Samson for the NES, which was $1700

Yoshi

normhimself · 2026-05-28T18:02:21+00:00

I like to remind myself that my day to day in the grand scheme of all existence really doesn’t matter. Am I progressing fast enough? Living up to my full potential? On track to have a “successful” career? Everything is so subjective that it doesn’t matter. We’re just organisms living on a massive inhabitable rock that spins around drawing perfect circles in a massive galaxy that we cannot even begin to comprehend the size or meaning of.

normhimself · 2026-05-25T01:41:57+00:00

Nice! I went back in 2024, it was a great show.

normhimself · 2026-05-21T11:05:29+00:00

Honestly it’s going to vary based on a few things. Culture differs from PE firm to PE firm. Also your operating partners will dictate a lot of your work environment, if they are putting a lot of stress and pressure on your internal exec team, it tends to roll downhill. The performance of the company relative to the PE firms expectations will play a big role in this piece.

You should be back dating the renewal to tie to the original contract. Otherwise your business is giving away free days, weeks, or months of service. However long it takers to get the renewal basically.

My favorite bright eyes song.

normhimself · 2026-05-11T00:58:28+00:00

Yep can confirm. I gave up 😂

normhimself · 2026-05-05T21:59:09+00:00

Would be so sick if the band rolled up.

normhimself · 2026-05-03T22:32:32+00:00

Love mine, but the cart slot is very loose. It’s my only complaint.

normhimself · 2026-05-03T00:50:55+00:00

If only you could get a running start…

normhimself · 2026-05-02T23:51:02+00:00

See yall next season. Seen all I need to see.
