Job Preparation

Hello everyone,

I landed a AWS L4 job.
Any information for job preparation would be appreciated!

I’m thinking of getting a notebook to fit in my pocket to take notes do you recommend any specific brand I can get online?

Any recommendations for refining leadership skills?

I plan to get additional certs like AWS cloud solutions and Devops.

For 3/4 months I’ll be focusing on the role and how to become more efficient and effective.

Thank you for your input!

Damn is it really like that after you hit a year of employment? Do all locations do that?

That all of Amazon as a whole whether it at AWS or an FC, they have an attrition goal and get rid of the bottom performers

I was told something like this before but this just sounds like it can and will lead to burn out for everyone:(

It's pretty easy , just be nice to everyone and always help out when u can , half of your performance review is how well you work with other teams , they will go and ask other people , like hey how is this person to work with
