I know many CS-ers are currently looking for a job or a job with better pay/benefits. Ran across this article. Thought I'd share. Mods, I hope this is ok, other than being a customer, I have no affiliation w/ Amazon.

Just be forewarned its a VERY strenuous job. Lots, and LOTS of walking....fairly sure one of my buddies said he walked at least 10-15 miles a day with his job at the warehouse. He did say it was good pay though, just hard work.

Google hires about 6000 people in the early months of each year, too -- I applied for it a couple of years ago (pre-back injury), to no avail ~_~ For either one, be prepared to have an updated resume, be ready for one of those damnable "psych profile" test online before you even get to the interview stage, and don't expect to hear back at all unless they're interested.

That being said -- to those who apply, good luck!
