Being onboarded into a product management and scrum master role next week. Any tips for reducing the learning curve/best practices for backfilling a pre existing role?

Hey Fishes, 
Short Rant: Got a referral for an AWS role, when I got the HR email to complete my candidacy 2 days later I was rejected without any type of phone screening or anything.

Especially when I met more than 90% of the requirements (entry level position) & I work in the field they are looking for. I am so perplexed & feel stupid.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I thought it was very hard for a referral to NOT at least get a screening call. What did (or didn't) I do right.

Was offered a Strategy Consultant role with Accenture (progression point C) for $150k. Asked what the sign-on bonus would be and was told $20k. Is this fair comp? Should I negotiate? I tried to negotiate salary but was told it is fixed. I haven't tried to negotiate sign-on yet, but also feel like it's fair and don't want to lose the offer. What would you do?

I’m intimidated, cautious, yet super grateful to finally hear from someone.
Any words of wisdom?

I have an interview for a LTC/Rehab Nurse Manager, Infection Preventionist position next week. My base salary is $40/hour as a charge nurse.
