I can't expense a course that has nothing to do with my role, but I can expense any exam that grants a cert regardless.

Oh, you're one of those people that's an asshole and hard to work in a ploy to get people to think that you must actually be smart while accomplishing little and just skating by until you get bounced out to the next job.

Only because she made a video publicly/overtly being a psycho. Its more common than you think.

Amazon recruiter contacted me about a 300k job. Big tech is really going big on salaries in this environment. I agree to talk to them about it and they send me a package that includes like 2 hours of coding exercises and who knows how many (3-4?) hours of recommended prep work.
Fuck. Off.
You know who has time and desire to do that shit? Unemployed people.

Is this a Vinen humble brag? We haven't had one of those in a while.
I mean, that much prep work isn't nothing. But I don't know what job opening doesn't have at least an hour of coding work as part of the interview. So...300k isn't much of an upgrade?

A year ago it would have been a humble brag but right now salaries are all over the place, even remote- anyone with decent skills, good communication, good work ethic, etc. should be able to make 150k+ base with a little searching.
The Amazon range is admittedly pretty high for remote work, though. It would be a pretty nice step up for me but I'm not interested in doing all of that work before I've even spoken to a hiring manager.
Meh, maybe I am just lazy.

Nah, I got ya. I've backed out of interviews because I didn't feel like traveling.
300k would be hard to turn down just the attempt at it, even if I was happy at my current job and salary. Even if it was from Amazon.

Any offers from Amazon throw them on the trash and light them on fire.
On the past they love to offer stock options valuable at a certain amount.... but you only get them if you stay x amount of years, like a vested amount.
So you will get your standard base salary and as additional compensation you'll get all the other sweet stuff, but you only cash out if you stay a long period of time.
In addition to that it used to be described as a horrible placed to work as a developer, tight deadlines, inflexible managers, crazy requirements.
They also stack rank you.... so they can GTFO to be honest.
