I recently left Amazon and now i miss it. My new company has so much more wlb and no toxicity. My teammates are super nice. There is no pressure, easy on calls. I have even stopped crying in the mornings. TC is same as Amazon too. It has been only 2 months and i have realised that this kind of life is not for me. Life is even more empty now. I had never worked anywhere other than Amazon before. Feeling lost 😞 PLEASE HELP!!!! TC: >300k, yoe: < 4y EDIT: I ain’t going back to that hell. ✌️
Suffering from success, are we?
Are you dreaming the life without Amazon? There are indeed some smaller companies like that, but usually they require perfect fit. It's not something you can easily achieve just by leetcoding.
Correct! I am into a niche and was reached out by them to fill in a specific role.
What's your niche?
You just need to give time. A body at rest or motion continues.......... Remember?
I have two approaches or suggestions which are not mutually exclusive. 1. Consider therapy and/or taking on hobbies to find some fulfillment outside of work so that you can enjoy the new freedom. 2. Use this as a learning experience for the type of work cultures that you enjoy. Some people thrive in certain somewhat dysfunctional environments. I worked at a few places and I’ve thrived and enjoyed a certain amount of dysfunction and felt similar when I worked somewhere where everyone had a well defined, understood role and there was less dysfunction (I found it quite boring and not rewarding) although my situation wasn’t just related to company culture but also the products that I supported and was working on. Also, I would say give it time. Therapy may help you reflect and better understand what elements you like and what you don’t like about each environment.
I thought it was sarcasm
Poor you
That’s called an abusive relationship
If you can afford it, maybe start your own business? Why do high-pressure work for Amazon if you can do high-pressure work for yourself?
Mans got Stockholm syndrome from Amazon
You fall in the category of "If you give a bowl made of Gold the beggar will take it to still beg in it"
Where are you?
Still at Amazon. He’s dreaming right now
Yes, I want to know also which company. I want to get out of Amazon as soon as possible
