Day in The Life of an Amazon Software Engineer (WFH)

Hey! I'm a Silicon Valley software engineer at Amazon. I used to live and work in San Francisco but now I work from home in Georgia due to covid. Here's a taste of what my day is like WFH at a FAANG company!

[@GarethBolton]

03:49 I found this kinda cool. The fact it was mentioned in this video (that was recommended to me btw) but the main reason being I’m currently trying to get my head around BigO the last few days. Still struggling to get to grasp with it but find it interesting never the less. Great video!

[@omarkhan1191]

Thanks! Haha yeah, it's a pain understanding Big O at first but gets easier with more experience.

Is Amazon extremelt stressful? I am interviewing for Catalog Associate in Netherlands, basically uploading content for sellers at Amazon Vendor Services, editing descriptions and stuff likw this. I am just worried that they will use me as a machine and it is never enough, most horrible experiences I saw are from warehouse workers, not sure about office jobs. Any ideas?

[@lovepreetsingh7033]

I really, like the slack status of your Junior Engineer 😅😅 "Who said you to read this?". But don't roast your junior Engineer, instead guide them for best practices in software development for future coding. Because by EOD its a code, some write which machine can understand and some write which human can understand.

Nice! It was definitely hard to get considering Amazon is a Big Tech (FAANG) company 😅 You can look at the salary on glassdoor for Amazon software engineers to get an estimate.

Not at all but they'll help you increase your logical/critical thinking skills.
