Hi fishes
I was supposed to have my Amazon Round 3 interview in the first week of May but the interviewer didn't join. My recruiter didn't reply for a few days and then rescheduled it.
Even in this rescheduled interview, my interviewer didn't join. This time my recruiter joined and said she'll reschedule my interview.
She still hasn't done that even after a follow up.
Is this common? Is this some kind of patience test?
I have no clue but I'm really frustrated at this point.
Please suggest

Consultants have been learning on the client's dime forever.
There is little to no long-term business value for large consulting firms to oversell and under-deliver.
At least in my experience sitting in these rooms, there’s a general consensus of we’re figuring this out together, and the POC is often the outcome of a project to demonstrate short-term
quick wins in the first place to then convince the org of a broader transformation in a specific area.
There is an assumption underlying this that “the reason AI work stops at POC is because there is no value delivered” - this may be true, but often times what ends up happening is companies then realize that to scale it requires much longer, larger project around change management and building a tech-forward org because they don’t have the core infrastructure and teams to actually do this. And then it becomes a bigger question of if this digital transformation is a priority for them right now.
At least that’s been my experience - I do a lot of work with PE companies around this, and we would never get away with just generic promises of margin improvements. By and large buyers I work with aren’t stupid, they know saving 10% of Finance’s time is at best going to just give everyone longer lunch breaks and won’t let us get away with handwaving.

All consulting firms do is oversell and underdeliver
