Hi,
I recently interviewed for Amazon L5, Program Manager (non-tech), final round, 5 interviews back to back.
Got my result today that they have considered another candidate for this “particular” role. However, I am encouraged me to apply for other roles and she has put my resume back into database for HMs and Recruiters to contact me.
Caveat - I have no waiting/cool off period!!!!
What does this even mean?????

They thought you would be a good fit for Amazon in general (so it wasn't a hard no) but someone else did better at the interview than you. And they only have one open spot on this team.

Take this a positive sign and go find that other role that's the perfect fit!

Wait for them to reach out to you. Never go back after a rejection.

If they want you, they’ll find you and you’ll have more leverage.

Just my thoughts 😎

Bad move. You need to stay on top of it if you want to work there. Otherwise someone else will come in. Remember that these places get hundreds to thousands of applications for some roles.

like

Cool off period is applicable only when you want to apply for the same role. For other roles, there is none. It’s a general rule within the FAANGs

Sounds like a pretty typical process but with no particular alternative role. Don’t keep your hopes up too high and move on with life

Basically rejection. So move on

Hi fishes, in a dilemma....switched to a Big4 from MNC(almost 7 years of exp) in April 2020. The pay was normalised at 15.5LPA. Will get the package revised next month to 16.25 LPA. Now Deloitte has approached, so can I ask for 30%pay hike considering the switch will happen after completing almost 11-12 months in my current organization or can I ask for more than 30%, depending if I get a senior consultant or manager role? Also will the switch within a year have any negative impact?

It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.
