Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

..that the “finance department” reviews the informal offer (before getting it written out for signature) and thought it was too high so they came back $15k less than agreed upon. Your thoughts?

So I had a call with the recruiter and he was more like “it is out of my hand, I did my best”. I plan to have a call with the Director tomorrow but wanted to brainstorm my thoughts with the fishbowl before the chat. Thoughts?
I am “not” needing this position and I want to say peace but wanted to know if this is a common tactic at this firm or others bc I have never had happen before.
Red flag low quality company. Decline. They will screw you over again after you work there.
What is the offer and which ERP? Is it commercial or GPS? I am manager at D working in ERP GPS. Can provide my take on the salary and signing bonus offered

Yup. So back to my comment on a different thread: This is a low-performing recruiter. The recruiter should not have shared the detail with you that an MD signed off, regardless of whether or not it is implied. This always has a last stop that is not in the department reporting chain and weak recruiters will give transparency that they shouldn’t give when they aren’t strong negotiators. I’m sorry this one bit both of you in the butt. That must be extremely disappointing to feel bait and switched.
