3/22    Job description posted in /csua/pub/jobs/Amazon.com  --tsang
        \_ just be sure to ask randal why he left, despite high
           monetary reward soon to come.
           \_ so why did randal leave?
           \_ at least this job is in a different department, with
              different scheduling dynamics.  but, yes, getting the
        \_ tsang must be another millionaire on paper.  :-)
        \_ Incidentally, go to http://Amazon.com and check out the price of
           Bill Gates' latest book: List: $729, Our Price: $504. heh.
              "lowdown" does seem like a good idea.  --tsang
              \_ I don't know exactly what tsang has heard about
                 "scheduling dynamics", but I basically left Amazon
                 because my manager thought they could control my life,
                 and when I looked at switching departments I saw the exact
                 same thing happening everywhere else in the company.
                 (Note that when I asked these questions before I signed
                  the answers I got turned out to pretty much be lies)
                 There are plenty of people who are willing to give up
                 their life in exchange for AMZN stock options, I wasn't
                 one of them.  If you are, Amazon can be an exciting
                 and rewarding place to work.  If your priorities don't
                 all line up on a balance sheet then the most prevelant
                 comment I've heard (from all sorts of people with all
                 sorts of experience) is, "Amazon treats their employees
                 worse than any other high tech company out there."
                 Feel free to mail me if you have any more questions.

              \_ will i get 10,000 shares of AMZN at strike price of $1
                 per share?
                 \_ if the stock price is $1/share the day you join, and
                    they decide to grant you 10k shares...
        \_ What does it mean by "Intelligence can be substituted"?  Does it
           mean if I am dumb, I can substitute that with hardworking?
           \_ No.  Consider the semicolon...  --tsang
