Tips for a successful resume & referral at Amazon (Abhishek's guide)

I am always happy to provide referrals for folks applying to Amazon for a variety of roles. Amazon is a FAANG, so I know that landing a job there can make a big difference to someone's career, and I am happy to spend the time to provide a referral.

If you are interested, please read the points below very carefully before reaching out (either on LinkedIn or on [email protected]). This is to save time on both sides 😄 I will not entertain requests from those who have clearly not read these points, regarless of how great your accomplishments are. No exceptions.

I usually check my personal email around 9am EST / 8pm IST. If you reach out, please give me upto 48 hours to revert.

The tips:

  1. It is up to you to visit amazon.jobs and search for open positions.

Submission Steps

  1. Download source code from Overleaf if you use it: menu -> download -> source.

Download and split REALNEWS into multiple small parquet files
"""
REALNEWS is a big dataset of several million news articles obtained from Common Crawl.
It was used to train the Grover news generation language model.
Details here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.12616
In this script, we download it following instructions from https://github.com/rowanz/grover/tree/master/realnews
(please make sure to fill in the survey in the link above!)
After downloading, the file is a .tar.gz containing an enormous .jsonl file.
To split it into multiple small .parquet files, I've written the script below.
