Today I had a first meeting with our VP (rumor has it that he is going to become SVP after this review season). I realize that all Amazon VP/SVPs has IB background (either Morgan Stanley or Deutsche Bank) Back in the 1990's, those were really hot market. No wonder they had high expectation on pay-out.
Unlike MS, Sun or Google, Amazon is driven by business people from Day One. In order to communicate with them, I really need to learn to talk the talk: revenue, cost, DWC, GMS and CP.
This also changes my mental picture of the whole company. I still remember how astronished I was when I first met an AM from Advantage and found out that his whole job is writing emails and making phone calls. In a business driven company, those are the people that stands a higher chance for career advance.
