This I agree, contracting lo jobs chese one person I know, he is making more than 200k for two jobs and passed interview and handed over the 3rd job to his frnd and gets 50% of the third job’s salary. In total he is making more than 250k+ .. funny thing is he doesn’t know single line of code but a smart guy.

Can't compare contracting to full-time. I agree amzn work pressure is high. But pay wise they are still better

Nope. Anyday google and microsoft are better than shittty Amazon. For the pay they give, Amazon uses you more than like a slave.

It totally depends on org. Amazon aws is the worst in terms of culture. Google gcp org is getting there after Thomas kurrain became head of gcp. Msft/apple/fb lo kooda unnayi alanti more orgs.. but amzn has more such orgs.

msft pay kooda pretty much same has amazon. 
 

i had offers from amzn & google at different points in my career. Amzn offer was pretty good and actually helped me in getting offer from another company. Google was not even close to current pay and downlevelled

Entha smart aina technical interview lo oops adigite em cheptadu va Line of code rayamante em smartness panikostadi. That’s a big red flag if he can’t write a single line of code. Fake pakodi story laga undi

100 per hr. 2000x 100 = 200k. Architect roles ki istharu or latest tech ki possible. Cloud architect roles ki 120-150 per hr. Let's see what tech pokiri comes up.

Lol fake pakodi story cheppalsina avasaram em undi bro..naku telisina na frnd jobs chesthu nenu na eyes tho chusindhe chepthunna. programming/coding vasthene jobs chese vallu unnaru anukovatam is wrong. He is working in the same tech from the past 10 years. Exp undi and he is clearing every interview he gets on that tech only. A 2-3 extra jobs ravataniki 6 months+ pattindi..
Eppudu job/tech change avvale and he works on an outdated tool which has very few jobs today.. with okayish salaries...

nuvu annatu coding qs adagochu if he decides to change the tech for something hot in the market..then it is problematic..

You can’t convince me that Amazon work is worth it for the pennies they pay. Period
