ThePeavstenator posted:Out of curiosity I took a look at open positions at Twitch. Are Amazon subsidiaries pretty independent or are they all just Amazon with a different logo on the building? I see purple twitch hoodies around town worn by people too old to ever have anything to do with twitch, so I think they like to maintain their separate identity from The Mothership. Any large business is gets run like separate small businesses, so Whole Foods, Amazon Restaurants, Amazon Prime Now, Amazon Fresh are effectively competitors.

whenever this happens (e.g. "API experience") I can't resist the urge to argue with the recruiter, tell them that X either isn't actually a skill or isn't one that requires development. which is of course pointless, beep boop what is your number sir

What sort of response times have people got when applying via a companies own website? I've been trying to avoid recruiters so far this time but at least they actually get you into interview fairly quickly

I’ve gotten calls 3+ months after accepting and starting a position before, but this round of hunting I was getting direct contacts real fast. My experience was like <24 hours-2 weeks for the ones that actually got back to me.

here’s a trick that sometimes works find the job posting on linkedin, if it exists on linkedin. linkedin tells you who posted a job. go visit the poster’s page with your visibility set to public. maybe even add the job poster as a connection I’ve gotten way better response rates doing this than just applying through the company’s site.

I've been using linked in while my hired profile ~activates~, but I have not checked out the poster's profile. Thanks for the tip.

I suppose I should just hold my nose and find a recruiter I like

I asked this in bfc but I wanna ask here too... My offer letter says I get 80 hours of PTO. I accept offer and get a link to complete their onboarding on the ultipro hr system. after completing that, I get an email with several PDFs, one is the vacation policy. the policy says you get 40 hours during year one, 80 year 2. Aside from the part that says pto is accrued monthly with no annual rollover(have a lot of questions about how that works), I’m operating under the assumption that the second form I got is some sort of old form. when I have them explain the policy to me on day 1, if it’s the worst case and it is indeed 40 hours for the first year, is it reasonable to explain that my offer explicitly says 80 hours and that I accepted the offer heavily based on that? 40 hours for a year is totally not competitive with the local market and I accepted because I was given 55(slight pay cut from last job but I was unemployed 6mo so fine) plus 80 hours? I feel a little bit hosed over here unless it was the best possible scenario which is “yeah that form is old, you get two weeks of pto”. I would have at least sent some sort of counter for higher salary based on the poo poo pto e: I feel like I should make clear that I don’t feel comfortable walking away from the offer even if they do give me a poo poo pto package. I can’t afford to stay unemployed. so if the worst happens, I’m eating it with a grin and waiting 6 months till I can put the upgraded title on my resume.

Yes, absolutely bring that up and press them on it. And if you do end up leaving, say that's why.

bring that up ASAP with the recruiter. don’t wait until day 1. if they tell you that its 40 and non-negotiable, then at least you can restart your job search quickly. waiting until your first day wastes everyone’s time.
