Amazon National Sales Manager salaries in India

"Amazon is the most exciting and dynamic company in the world now in my opinion. It always puts the customer first and isn't afraid to take risks and innovate. It seems like they're really blue sky thinkers, so nothing is off limits, and I want to work in an atmosphere like that."

...hat with my experience I should be earning more than 50K annually. I have a family, two small children, and a better salary is really needed with all the expenses we have right now. I dislike everything about my job in the publishing house. The rush, the deadlines, the climate in the office, the constant expectations to come up with a new story, something that will grab attention of the readers. I am just tired of this way of work, after long fifteen years in the business. That’s why I am sitting here in front of you, applying for a job for which I certainly look overqualified. But I have to change my career, and a simple manual work, in a calm place, is exactly the kind of job I am looking for right now. I do not dislike anything in particular, I’d just love to move in a different direction in my programming career. You see, the company I work for designs games for gaming consoles, but I’d like to focus more on artificial intelligence and robotics. You are one of the leading players in this field, at least in our state, and that’s why I decided to try my luck with you. But I certainly cannot say anything bad about my present employer–they treat me well, and I like their company culture. It’s just that I would like to work on different projects. Speaking honestly, I simply didn’t fit well to the team in the workplace. They are mostly older people, they know each other for years, and I had a feeling that they considered me a competition, or even an enemy, because I tried to come up with some new ideas, and challenged the status quo in the company. I can clearly feel that since then the atmosphere in the workplace deteriorated, and my colleagues are sometimes purposely blocking me in my work. I tried to discuss things openly with them, but it didn’t bring any results. Speaking frankly, I dislike my salary. Now, salary isn’t the most important thing for me. But when you have a family, and bills to pay, items add up pretty quickly, and you easily end up with an empty bank account. I know that people with my job earn better, in many companies in this area. And I see no reason why I shouldn’t earn more. I want to assure you that I discussed the issue with my manager. But they said that in the current state of economy they could not offer me anything better. So here I am, interviewing for the job with you, because your salary offer is much better. Ensure them that you discussed the problem with your superiors To dislike something is one thing, to leave the company without discussing the issue with your superiors another. Of course not everything can be changed, and it makes no sense to debate the company culture, or general leadership style, with your direct superior. But if you dislike your salary, or a behavior of one of your colleagues, or perhaps the fact that they haven’t promoted you for years, you should ensure the interviewers that you discussed the issue with the responsible people from the company. You tried, but they didn’t react positively, and that’s the reason why you eventually decided to look for a new job. See sample answers no. 6 and no. 7 as a good illustration of this explanation. * May also interest you: How to dress for an interview – 5 things to consider when choosing your clothes. Feel free to dislike everything, if you opt for a career change Career change is a big step, and if you decided to make it, you should have a good reason. Such a good reason can be a burnout, a complete loss of motivation, or the fact that you dislike absolutely everything about your present job. When you are changing your career, you will typically earn much less in your new job, and you will have to learn a lot of things. That’s why it is crucial to present strong enough arguments in the interview, to backup your decision. Disliking everything is definitely a strong argument. See sample answer no. 4 as a good example of this situation. What type of work environment do you dislike working in? If they ask about working environment in particular, the most important thing is to make sure you do not mention something that’s typical for their working environment, that means your new place of work. Let me show you an example. Imagine that the company promotes open offices, and basically you have no real privacy in the workplace (unless you go for a toilet or cigarette break of course :)). Saying that you hated lack of privacy in your previous job would definitely be a showstopper in such a case in your job interview. Keep it on your mind and do a good research before going there. Another alternative is saying that you are flexible adaptable, and do not really dislike any type of working environment. Sure enough each concept has some pluses and minuses. You won’t love everything, but you also do not look for perfection, since you know it doesn’t exist in this world. Unless something really toxic happens in the workplace (such as cunning or bullying behavior), you are good to go, and can enjoy working in any type of place. What are some positive aspects of your last employment/employer? What are some negative aspects? I also want to briefly touch on this version of a question, since I’ve seen it quite commonly on job application forms lately. And no doubt they use it in the interviews as well. In my opinion, the most important thing is to focus on positive aspects primarily. Nobody wants to hire an employee who’s bitter and sees only the bad things in the job. Even if you had a really bad experience in the last job, you can praise the things you learned, and how the negative experience made you stronger. It is also important not blaming others. You should accept also your party of a responsibly. Let me show you a good example. Instead of saying “I had a terrible boss“, you should say that the negative aspect of your job was “A bad (or not ideal) relationship with the superior“. It may seem like the same thing for an outsider, but a skilled interviewer see a profound difference here. Pointing out “a terrible boss”, you in a way say everything was their mistake–they treated you unfairly, everything bad was their guilt. Calling it “a bad relationship” you accept your part of the guilt--the two of you simply didn’t get along well together, for one reason or another. Sure, maybe the boss is primarily to blame, but you accept that you could also do something better… At the end of the day, salary matters Of course it’s nice to claim that salary is not the deciding factor for you, that you see a meaningful purpose in your job, and do not care whether you earn 20K or 100K annually. At the end of the day, however, you are neither a a hermit nor an outcast. You live in the society, and you have bills to pay each month (which is getting tougher and tougher with the inflation we see right now), and perhaps you have also kids to feed. Therefor it is all right to say that you dislike the salary in your present job, as long as you manage to communicate your message in the right way. You should say that you asked for a raise, but did not get it. And you should also have something to backup your claims. For example the fact that people who have the same position earn much better in some other companies… or that you’ve been earning the same amount for years, and never got a raise. See sample answers no. 3 and no. 7 as a good example of this attitude. Ready to answer this one? I hope so! But it isn’t be the only difficult question you will face in your interview. You will face questions about prioritization, dealing with pressure, dealing with ambiguity, and other tricky scenarios that happen in the workplace.

Changes in management had made ppl worse, Ppl are hired without the required skill sets. Ppl from Call Center are being hired for HR operations. Employees had good perspective about the company before Covid and but after moving to WFH changed due to hiring unskilled staffs into management and on top work security is very bad.

Good culture and they pay for overtime during peak season

Dislikes

Too much of politics in the company and specially for internal job transfer, they prefer women to occupy the posts as they follow the so called "DEI" policy. And the post that I am in right now, you have to be your managers favourite to grow or from the same community.
