Hi All! I recently completed a loop for an L6 amazon role. They ultimately decided they want me for Amazon, but at an L5 role. I just completed an additional interview for a different role and the recruiter said they do not want to move forward with me. I’m now being scheduled for an interview for a different role now. Just curious, has anyone been through this and finally landed a job? How many attempts did you have to go through? Thanks!

What positions have they considered you for?

Yea, it is a very common practice in amazon. Happens when u are good amazon fit but not necessarily for the role. Btw, promotions are a lot harder to get in Amazon plus leadership roles really start with L6. I am not sure what your previous experineces but if you are looking for leadership roles now, joining at L5 may not be all that beneficial.

Biggest advice anyone give for MBB is to get a referral. Usually this would be someone from your network that you know. But what if you don’t anyone. Going cold Turkey on LinkedIn doesn’t work even if you have shared connections; doesn’t translate to meetings etc. I know something about my approach to networking is not correct. I understand that networking is more about relationship building and fostering a mutual long term relation. And was wondering if anyone had any advice. (Rising senior)

If a position for which I had a first round interview has since been put on hold, would it be reasonable to ask for an informational interview with the would-be hiring manager? In my experience, "on hold" has always been synonymous with cancelled. It’s frustrating and I like this particular agency, so I just want to make the most of this. Maybe there are other ways to handle these situations?

Can’t decide on a job offer. Currently employed and have been wanting to do something different. The other job offer is pretty much what I make now but I’d be losing on a lot of PTO. I kind of feel really confused about what to do. The hiring manager actually picked up on the fact that I don’t sound super excited for the job. But I feel like this is my chance to leave and do something different but I’m hung up on barely any PTO and swapping to a complete different industry.

I am looking. To accept a position out of state within my company. The position is posted and I am very likely to get the job .it would be an internal transfer. The recruiting HR told me that me that I am the top candidate but I shouldn’t expect relocation package . They would just give little something to help with the move. Should I push to get the relocation package or just be happy with what they give me.

1. Applied for 2posts. Said Under Consideration for one but was interviewed for a different role. Is this normal?
2. The interviewer didn’t seem much interested to speak to me. Or maybe I’m reading too much into it.
Overall it went average, but I’d like to know if I could reach out this recruiter asking about the application status issue on the job portal!

For non-tech roles, is getting your resume pst screening really the hardest part?

Is that really true? Is getting your resume past the auto-rejection the biggest hurdle for non-tech applicants?
