Welcome to the family! As an SDE Amazon for 5 months now (feels way longer) I feel empowered to affect the culture for the best. My experience leading up to Amazon is not too dissimilar to yours; I didn't have an internship, but I did software work on campus. Also, I had to push myself to be better at my craft because there was no one to guide me. Amazon is my first experience with Agile, but it's such a breath of fresh air.

Thank you! I'm so exited to be an Amazonian 😊
