I didn't intend my lack of conviction entirely as a criticism.

At this point, I've read enough blog posts about leaving FAANG companies and they all paint a picture that makes me sure that I wouldn't want to work there.

This blog post didn't change anything in my mind about employment at Amazon, which was surprising in it's own way. It was an experience to read because it was different than what I expected.

It's like if you're reading stories from people who were tortured and you're cringing at every twist of the knife. Then one story is about being given paper cuts and you don't cringe at all. (not that it is a fair metaphor for something that may affect your career/livelihood like Amazon)

haha :) fun analogy, may be you are the one who'd be writing - seems like you have an expertise at leaving FAANG.

To be serious, I wanted to be fair with my writing and not to bring toooo much drama. And I didn't expect such exposure.
