it's like that tv thing where they're always do "boss, you need to take a look at this, no time to explain just get down here" on the phone it's like no we do have time since we're already talking and it's going to take me a minute to get there

big companies do not work that way. most engineers don't have access to production data, and hr certainly doesn't, and queries are logged. I'd be more worried about your twitter account.

Hi dip poo poo,

Thank you for putting up with my corny joke. I hope that brought a little laughter to your day. I am a Technical Leadership Recruiter within Amazon and came across your profile in my network. I partner with engineering teams across Amazon’s Senior Engineering community and we are seeking leaders to own and author software design and architecture, while mentoring and developing other talented engineers in our Detroit office.

It would be great to connect and find out more about you and your work and career goals. We offer full relocation support from anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. Would you be interested in engineering leadership opportunities at Amazon’s Detroit office?

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

because that's where I keep my checklist of interview-the-company questions because I don't trust my memory

oh or maybe someone is proud of the app or site or what they made and can demo it on a phone I guess

You should expect them to pay for a moving company to haul your poo poo and a month or two in corporate housing so you can shop for your own place. You'll likely have the ability to decline all that and take cash instead.

here's how it works for apple, google, amazon and the other big tech companies. they will get you a relocation package. that package is either straight up cash or a moving company to transport all of your poo poo, including cars, to their location. they will get you several weeks at corporate housing / hotel / short term rental so you can find a place to stay. they may help you in rental or purchase search. they may rent you a car while yours is being transported. they may help your spouse with job placement. if you need something else, tell them.

thirding, my options were 1) pile of money, or 2) small pile of money and they move all my stuff. they hooked me up with a local realtor-type person and flew me out before I started to look at apartments, and iirc were willing to either put me up in an extended stay for a month or pay a month's worth of rent
