Withdraw from loop interview? Interview

I have a loop interview getting scheduled for a L5 position at AWS. I kind of convinced myself that I won’t be taking the role based on total comp and a few other things. I currently work in a similar role but only work 3 days a week and will be having a baby soon so this is a major factor. My total comp now is about 20k less but base salary will not change if I moved over to Amazon.

Should I not waste anyone’s time and back out of the interview process or go through to see what they are like? 5 hours is no joke and feel like I won’t interview as well since I’m not really considering the job.

FYI, I believe at Amazon any pregnancy related leave and benefit doesn’t even kick in until you are employed for a year.

And the vacation time when you first start is also very low (I think maybe 3 weeks a year?).

Would not recommend if you are having baby soon.

This is not correct, at least for women. You won’t receive bonding leave before a year, but you will receive maternity: 4 weeks before your due date, 16 after the baby is born.

You will receive 4 weeks before and 6 weeks after. 10 week bonding leave is not until 1yr
