In Conversation with the dynamic Nick Dimitrov who lives in Seattle, WA, USA, and is the founder and CEO of Amazon Bound.  In 2013, Nick joined Amazon and co-founded Amazon Game Studios in a series of direct pitches to Amazon’s CEO, Jeff Bezos. Amazon has since invested more than one billion dollars in the gaming space, by acquiring the game-streaming platform Twitch, developing its own 3D game engine, and building top-budget games in its internal studios. Nick also became an Amazon Bar Raiser, one of that small number of Amazonians, who decide whether the company should hire a job candidate or not. In his three-year tenure as a Bar Raiser, he interviewed more than 350 job applicants and determined whether they raised the Amazon hiring bar. In 2018, Nick left Amazon to start Amazon Bound, a company designed to help prepare job applicants to interview effectively with Amazon and other tech companies that practice behavioral interviewing techniques. The future is now. This is the time to be a dragon. . . In this episode, Nick shared his journey from Bulgaria to the United States; his epic career pivots; and his thoughts about what it takes to succeed in your career and life. He also gives tips on how to you land next job at Amazon or any company.
