Just accept the offer to sit for the technical test after initial screening and then take your time to prepare - which even can be over a year 😂

      @@Makaveli1313 you actually don't need much preparations for onsite as those are very practical and not much about theoretical algo problems. At least from where I stand, as I don't have a CS degree and in day to day development, don't use much of algo at all, passing the initial coding test is where I get stuck. Live coding and behavioral interviews are breeze for me as I'm comfortable with those thanks to daily development practice.

    Amazon will pay the wage increase and benefits package, hopefully the sweat shop/unsafe working condtions/profit sharing issue will be addressed. However the cost is going to be passed on to consumers. I hope yall enjoyed those cheap prices. Because those past prices are now going away like the 99 cent cheese burger. The burger joints were forced to pay 20.00 hr for unskilled labor in Cali. So the consumer ate it. Those jobs were never designed to live on. They were for kids going to school to learn a skilled trade or job like Nursing or engineering. Sadly pensions and social security payments will not be going up. So the gap of poverty will get wider.Pushing the old folks out to shit holes like Blythe and Needles Ca. and homeless camps. But nobody cares. The rich get richer the poor get poorer...and so it goes. I tell the young people of today. Get paid for what you know. Go into the military if u cant pay for college. There is no easy way to the top. Leave the dope and get rich schemes for the losers... Do the right thing. Honesty and integrity seems to be in short supply these days. Society will always justify corruption.
