If you really want to get a job at AWS, I still have some friends there and I'd be happy to help.

In general, I think people overestimate how hard it is to get a job at a big tech company. Their turnover is very high. If you learn the skill they're looking for and understand how to do well in the interviews/hiring process, I'd say your odds are better than 50/50.

What is the skill they're looking for and how does one do well in the interviews? I suspect this is a well-tread issue, so a link to a post you think is adequate would be plenty.
