    I heard so many really negative things about working in finance at Amazon from people I know who currently work there( and want to escape asap) that I will NEVER EVER apply for any role there (and I worked for different global businesses in the past) and I now warn all my friends to never even try to step into that toxic and horrible corporate environment of Amazon 🤢

    What are the most useful hard tools/platforms/skills to learn beforehand that are used in FAANG marketing? For e.g SQL, advanced excel, Marketo, etc

      Hi! Thank you for the comment. I don't think there is one particular skill/tool that you can leverage in all the roles, meaning it depends on what the role is. However, I realize that understanding data (mining, getting to insight) is really important as we use it every single day. Hope this helps!

      @@an237251 L5 is around $130k TC. L6 is closer to $170k TC. Amazon has been hiking pay like mad recently. Keep in mind an Amazon SFA is equivalent to a Manager at most other places. $85k base is actually pretty normal outside of FAANG. You're certainly not underpaid unless you're in VHCoL.
