Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

Is it an offshore resource? Send me the first part of the address and I can verify. If it's legit, I can connect you with the HM directly.

They do reach out randomly on LinkedIn a few times a year but never an email (my experience)

I got one a while ago from an AWS recruiter but couldn't remember ever submitting an app with them so not sure how they got my info. It seemed pretty legit and I emailed back but was ghosted

Email back and ask for a phone call

Amazon recruiters are weird. Keep sending me job opps which are totally unrelated to my domain.

I can attest random LinkedIn messages and in mails from Amazon for completely unrelated jobs.

Ex-MBB, recently started a new MM PE role, but had also applied to HBS in case the PE route doesn’t work out. Thankfully, both the PE and HBS applications were successful. Now I need to decide whether to leave my current role after only 6-10 months to go to business school, or try to defer the MBA.

What should I do? I’m torn between wanting to do MBA at an earlier age vs ensuring good PE employability post MBA(either at current firm or other). Not sure how well 6-10 Mos pre-MBA PE exp is valued

Hi everyone!
I currently work for Graybar Electric as a Project Specialist. Over the past few months, I’ve been training some of the new employees and it’s really inspired me to want to move into a operations training and development or a leadership position. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of room for growth where I’m at. I’m hoping to make new connections and see where this new endeavor takes me, if anyone would be so kind as to refer me. Here’s a picture of our family dog for some likes ❤️
