Actual Day in The Life Working At Amazon in Seattle | Not What You’d Expect

In this video I will show you what it's actually like working as a program / product manager at Amazon in Seattle. I've worked in this role for more than a year now and wanted to share how I typically spend a day. No glamor, no extra fluff, just a literal day. Hope you enjoy and let me know if you want more vlog style content!

Hope everyone watching this is having a great day! Did anything in this video surprise you? And if you work/interned at Amazon or even in another company, what’s your typical day like?

You have videos of high-end condos for sale and now we get to see YOUR condo, your view of the city and water is amazing. Nice flexibility on your job. A fun video, thanks for sharing!

[@Chris_jae]

Glad you enjoyed it! And yes haha I love the flexibility :)

[@jasmine9014]

YAY!!! you uploaded

[@Chris_jae]

I did!

[@daisydanyart]

Loved the intro 😂

[@Chris_jae]

Haha thanks!

Hey I hope you are still going strong in Seattle! Your last statement was if it surprised you and what is your typical day like. I moved here a long time ago from PA. I am an "out" male welder and this was the only place in America that I found a strong gay scene as well as lots of manual labor work. I have been here for nearly thirty years and no matter how things have changed for the good or the bad , I would not live anywhere else in the world and I have visited nearly "everywhere else". If you burn out on Amazon ( not that anyone ever does😉 ) make sure to have a Seattle "network". So many six figure jobs here are found through personal networks. I love your videos and hope that you continue to post them.

Thank you for your comment! I appreciate it :) I also love the area. It's so beautiful out here, I can't imagine being anywhere else

[@vishwaneegeerdharry6453]

Lovely.

[@Chris_jae]

Thanks!

We're getting a Jerk Shack in the Central District soon - now I can't wait to try it! What's your favorite item on the menu?

[@Chris_jae]

Nice!!! Anything chicken is good, but the shredded chicken is the best, especially with their white sauce on top. Also anything with plantañas is good 😊

[@olgachadwell2764]

Hello Chris. What kind of degree do you need to work as program manager at Amazon? Nice videos!

[@Chris_jae]

Thanks! And any degree really. I’m engineering but I know some who are music, computer science, political science, and business. Although the most common is something business related

[@danielh3932]

As an engineer I always wondered what PMs do all day. And now I am no closer to the answer 😅

[@Chris_jae]

Hahaha! If it helps I can essentially sum it up as meeting with data inteligence engineers/devs, pulling data for different pilots/market trends, writing up emails/docs describign the findings (90% of the work), and emailing it out or talking about it during meetings. If you ask me day to day what I do it's almost nothing, but somehow projects get run (the engineers do all the actual work) lol

[@ellyndickson3696]

You have a wonderful work environment! The flexibility Amazon gives you and a beautiful city to boot. I wonder, do you think if they(Amazon) required you to come in each day would you enjoy that too?

[@Chris_jae]

It is really nice! Although I definitely like it because of the work from home. if it was office mandatory I'd likey search for a new role lol

[@satyajitbhuyan2931]

[@Chris_jae]

I actually left Amazon. By the time I left I made ~105,000.
