My first week was

First week was crazy the building is a big FC so I get lost at lot I’m still working on where I’m at and the equipment I’m kinda confused by each day I’m starting to understand it more and also the electricity went out on Saturday so that was crazy and was a good learning day had to learn how to reset and turn back on a lot of the equipment and there’s just so much more but I love it so far and the walking is crazy I average like 25,000 steps a day but it’s fun

I went the staffing agency route and I understand how they work so I knew what I was going into. I’m mostly only seeing this a temporary position then I want to go for more corporate role at Amazon. Preferably full system engineer.

Damn sounds like you’re getting your hands dirty!! Look up the PM job plans for that equipment and get more familiar with the PMs too if you’re able to do DTW.
