| There a re lot of MBA graduates from HBS and not all of them are smart. They take about 1200 students every year so you can understand how many undeserving kids with connections get in. |

| Check teamblind forums. Probably much more accurate information. |

Hard but not impossible. They tend to get people with sterling credentials. Also, you need to be a workaholic. They don’t enforce a workaholic culture. They just hire people who are all naturally workaholics and you end up keeping up with the flow of your peers. Workaholic like working on vacations, check emails before you go to sleep and first thing when you wake up. The company packages are dreamy, but they pay what they pay for a reason. If you’re serious, some type of technical degree is probably the route to go. |

| Hi, can anyone at Amazon explain its structure a little more? I am starting to look for a senior legal position and certain niche aspects of Amazon’s business seem like a potential good fit but I can’t figure out if they pay under market as a package and if the compensation structure incentivizes leaving after four years. If so, why wouldn’t I look past them to Netflix or Google, etc? Obviously it’s a selective company and whether they’d want me is another question but assuming I am highly qualified, I am not sure whether it is even worth exploring. Thanks! |

| My husband is a data scientist at Amazon. He has a PhD from an Ivy League stats program. He was hired at a ~$150k salary around 4 years ago, with stock grants of around another $150k in Year 1. Salary has since topped out at $180k but this past year he received stock worth about $400k. It’s complicated with all the vesting schedules and everything. |
