I shared my experience. And in my experience anyone who gets the opportunity to work there should do it.

Is it fortunate? Working at a place that holds a high bar on hiring, pays extremely well, and provides extremes of learning and growth in tech? Yeah, that’s a pretty good spot to most rational people. Building systems for 20M request/second teaches you cool stuff. So yes, it’s fortunate.

Of course it’s not for everybody. I never said it was.

Nobody is going to take seriously a person that thinks working at Amazon is a pyramid scheme.

After you work at Amazon please report back your experience.
