What's it like to get a “?” email from Jeff Bezos? [video]

#1
Hey HN: I've pulled together a video for one of the most common questions I get about Amazon: What's it like to receive a question mark email from Jeff Bezos?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1RD-UDE0rQ

I've never found any high quality info online for this topic save a few responses on a Quora thread. In the video I promise additional content, but I didn't realize that YouTube had certain thresholds to be able to post a link off of YT to another site, so I am including the link here: https://www.interviewat.com/pl/195251 (it's also in the video description text).

This is a good look at the process, deliverables, and outcomes when working at AMZN. For reference, I was the Director of Product Management for the Kindle sw platform. I probably handled no fewer than 10 question mark emails from Jeff over the 3 years I was there.

This isn't really a Show HN

It's probably better posting either the video itself as a submission.

Whenever I get passive aggressive or otherwise ambiguous emails like that I just ignore it. If it's important, they'll follow up.

Would not recommend doing that if the email is coming from the CEO.

OP might be the CEO.
