Got a rejection today after what I had thought was a really productive interview loop I was well prepped for. The recruiter shared that the team thought I was a strong fit for Amazon but not for the team. Also said he’d continue to work with me and to reach out if I had interest in any roles that come up. Any idea what that feedback might really mean, and if there’s really much likelihood I’ll hear back from them re another role?

There’s a chance they will, but most likely it’ll be on you to follow up and keep an eye out. Send follow up thanks and connect with the people you vibed with on LinkedIn. Keep an eye out for other roles you’re interested in and when they come up, feel free to reach back out to the recruiter - you have more of an in now for the next time.

Thanks so much for your thoughts. That was pretty much my takeaway. It was an interesting post interview rejection call, and he seemed genuinely interested in talking through my feedback and timing about following up with other opportunities. It was hard to judge if he is just a thorough and supportive recruiter, or if he was really interested in me continuing to pursue other roles.

Time to move on

All good advice here.
Note that Amazon is/has been going thru hiring freezes, re-orgs, layoffs, etc. It's a wild time to be there.
I was stuck in a hiring freeze a year ago.
I think they want to make sure they have a good roster of people they can rely on if/when things are settled. Watch for new/relevant positions that are solid fit for you and leverage the hiring team to provide a referral. Check in every 3 weeks or so. It's all about networking. Keep the mo' going.

I wanted Google since I started the whole interview process, but I am now not sure given the salary difference.

The position at Google is more junior and the team is just being formed, which involves more risk. However, I like the team at the other company.

The difference in salary is really considerable to push me to rethink this. Is it worth it? Can you share your experiences of when you accepted a lower job offer and why?
