So Schroeder has a job offer for Amazon in Seattle Yay! Will he take it who knows! Its still exciting. I love the idea of Schroeder finally moving to Seattle. He says he’s happy in Toledo but I am understandably Biased. Teddy is too. The number of times he asks to talk to Uncle Schroeder daily is quite frequent. That could also just be his secret ploy to get screen time.
I shared with Schroeder a blog I wrote when I was waiting for my offer from Microsoft. Holy shit was it laced with anxiety. I mean I get it; I had just officially turned down two other offers and I was losing my mind. MS was so fast to give an offer and so slow to make it official. Schroeder has similar experience. This is just how bureaucracy works I suppose.
I do sympathize with Schroeders plight, Amazon isn’t doing him any favors with his financial offer. I don’t understand why they are being so stingy. I suspect it’s a similar problem I had which is big tech doesn’t give a shit about your experience unless it was at different big tech. I do stress to him if he is great at his job he will advance quickly. I know Amazon does treat higher performers well. Lets hope he can keep pace. Eitherway I think by next week I’ll have official word from him. But nothing like have your best man move to where you live after not being near him for 20 years. Oh no… I hope we still like each other if we see each other all the time…
