It helps to realize the Amazon interview is a free trip to Seattle. You can exploit that the same way you can exploit time share companies.



Please please please don't come to Seattle.


Born there, grew up in Redmond. Sorry.


Elaborate. I want to hear this.


Amazon aggressively recruits people all over the country. If you have a pulse, you can probably get through their initial phone screen and they will pay to fly you out to Seattle for a day of interviews. You typically won't have a lot of time to see the city, but you can roll the dice and "miss" your return flight and try to get a standby booking which might buy you a few hours or an overnight - which you can then book a hotel on your dime.


Seconded.
