Does internet disconnect hurt my chances of getting a job? I had a final interview today for a remote job and was practically offered the job but at the last minute of interview, my internet didn't work. When I joined 5 min later, interview had already left. I sent an email expressing apology but haven't gotten a reply. I am felling anxious. Will I get rejected because of the internet issues?

It shouldn't, stuff happens and reasonable companies are typically understanding. That said, I do have to say I'm surprised a backup phone in or email wasn't provided in case of an issue. Most tech people can connect to a conference via their phone in an emergency. Sounds like this is maybe what you did 5 minutes later. The lesson to be learned here is to connect 5 minutes early "just in case" things don't go as planned and if it is via an app you don't normally use, earlier than that or pre-test it.

Thanks for the response. If it happens again, I will be sure to check for the provided phone and check that

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

I am going to start interview process with Amazon next week. Probably all rounds will be done in 1-2 day time frame.

How/what should I prepare for interview?
Am clueless on what kind of ds & algo questions, system design questions are asked in Amazon interviews.

My techstack: javascript developer- react+Angular.

1. Pls guide me on what/how to prepare?
2. Also, will the interview be solely on da & algo and javascript; or on Js frameworks?
