    They’ll find tons of companies with better work from home policies but which don’t pay as well.

    And the whole thing about being a dev at Amazon being awful is largely untrue. I live in Seattle. I work in tech. My spouse and friend group work in tech. Some have worked at Amazon or still do.

    Amazon largely treats their devs pretty well, but it depends on whether or not you have a good manager, just like any other company.

    It’s just popular to shit on Amazon.

      Yeah, that’s fair. Amazon is a large company so I’m sure people’s mileage varies. The pay is the sacrifice there. I get paid really well, but not nearly as well as I would at a FAANG. I’m okay with that because I value work/life balance and others things more than the pay, but I completely understand why folks work at those places.
