Career Advice About Amazon

I have gotten an offer for a security engineering internship from Amazon for Summer 2025. However I have already signed an offer with a unicorn. I was wondering if I could move this Summer internship to Spring so I can have the potential to get experiences in both?

What is the best time of year to apply to big tech/unicorn/generally highly sought-after positions?

My thinking is to apply between July and the end of November because I know that is when many big companies release headcount for interns and new grads which I presume they also release headcount for mid-level and above.

For more experienced job seekers, when have you noticed the best responses in your past job searches for getting interviews or what is your general approach to timing your job search? Thanks!

I have couple of interviews lined up with Meta, DataStax and couple more. But, I did not get any interview call from my other desired SW companies like Google/Netflix/Microsoft/DataBricks/AirBnb. I am confident that I will receive call for interview after I improve my resume, polish LinkedIn, reach out via DMs on LinkedIn (already doing that but no luck so far). Also, I can not wait indefinitely for other companies call (already waiting since November).

So my question is,

1. Is it fine if I join a company such as A and quit within a month or two provided I have a job offer from B (which is obviously more lucrative).
2. Are there any downsides of switching too soon in tech. I feel changing employers quickly will help me to boost my overall compensation.

Note: I am currently on work visa and working for AWS US as senior backend engineer.

I’ve seen this a lot with smaller companies like startups. It’s just not likely that I’ve worked with the particular tech stack of whatever the question is about, so I can’t really answer them a lot of the time. How can I respond gracefully to these types of questions?
