    Your videos are literally the best. I don’t know if you remember my previous comment on another video but I’m the girl relocating from Chicago to Seattle and I also work at Amazon, just started as a Sr. Account Manager. So hello fellow Amazonian thank you so much your videos have helped me prepare for my move which is happening this week!

    • @Chris_jae

      I do remember! And thanks for your comment. Also that’s exciting! You’re coming at one of the best times. The cherry blossoms at UW are just starting to bud so if it’s sunny it should look beautiful!

    Every time my BF hears the **ding ding** of the streetcar, it reminds him of the '80's song, "Tainted Love"...lol. The views from your office are gorgeous. I can't wait for the cherry blossoms to be in full bloom - they're sooo pretty!

    • @Chris_jae

    Great video. Quick question: When you joined, how was the onboarding process? Did you receive PM training? I feel like not enough people talk about that part.

    • @Chris_jae
      @Chris_jae  Před 2 lety +2

      Thanks! And I did. It was more informal than I expected. I was essentially given 3 weeks to complete various online trainings that taught about Amazon and some skills for being a PM at Amazon. Probably in the past many of these trainings were in person cause the onboarding was a bit less than I expected. Although my team onboarded me to the specific tasks I would be doing so most of the actual onboarding will be with your team/manager.

    Hello Chris, I really enjoyed watching your video. Is it safe to walk from your place to Amazon office?

    • @Chris_jae
      @Chris_jae  Před 2 lety +1

      Glad you enjoy them 😊. And it’s pretty safe. I’ve never had any issues so far. That’s also cause there are many other Amazon employees making the same or similar walks so I’m never the only person walking

    Hi ty for the video! I am currently at a sort center in Seatac. Abt to apply to our TOM team later this year. I am also studying cyber security at a local school. Still researching what corporate role would be good for me down the road and looks like your role is such a fun and peaceful one. May I ask how are the pay? Are they in the 6 figures or less? Ty!

    • @Chris_jae
      @Chris_jae  Před rokem

      For an L4 PM at Amazon the pay starts at 69,000 but for L5 it jumps to 95,000. Other companies have different pay scales. From what I’ve seen, the L5 equivalents at other companies get 100,000 - 130,000.

    Hey! Wanted to ask is the PM role similiar to an AM role or transition? If I was an AM looking to go into being a PM how easy or completely different would the role be? I would love to connect on chime to learn more

    • @Chris_jae
      @Chris_jae  Před 2 lety

      Hello,
      It’s a little different, but many of the PMs I know were AMs before moving over. If you become a PM for the same business you’re an AM, it should be an easy transition. Although most people become an L5 before because Amazon posts more internal L5 PM roles. Otherwise, I’ve found that PMs who were AMs before have some of the best insight and are very successful. Feel free to contact me at cjd@ or go ahead and ask here
      Hope that helps!

    Do you need a degree for that job ?

    • @Chris_jae
      @Chris_jae  Před 2 lety

      Yes and no. If you have prior working experience or worked as an area manager at Amazon then you can get it without a degree. I know of a former bar tender who became a Program Manager. A degree helps get it without prior work experience though
