Interview
sr. recruiting manager called me. asked me why I wanted to work for Amazon. wanted me to walk her through my resume. 2nd phone interview is scheduled for 2 weeks later. From there I will be flown to seattle for an all day interview. They didn't talk about the pay for the position but did ask how much I was expecting and why. My advice is to be prepared to talk about e commerce in detail.
