Why would Amazon bring on a full-time consultant instead of just hiring you?

I worked internally at AWS Professional Services - their internal consulting department - every AWS ProServe employee is a “blue badge” employee with the same initial four year offer structure of base + prorated signing bonus + RSUs (5/15/40/40). Google also has a large internal consulting department for GCP.

I can’t fault you for not knowing AWS ProServe exists. I didn’t know either until a recruiter reached out to me.

My partner is also a consultant and one client was Google. I’m also confused about the exact reason why they didn’t just hire someone.

No that’s not what I meant at all. Amazon Professional Services are made up of full time “blue badge” employees who get the same type of base + bonus + RSUs that all other blue badge employees get.
