I botched an AWS sql interview assessment. It was really simple, just unlucky I blanked out. Darn it. Anyone has experienced failing an assessment during the interview and still got invited to further interviews?

If you bomb an assessment, especially a technical one, you are not going to proceed. If you did I’d have serious questions about rampant bias at whatever firm you’re interviewing with. Mourn, accept, learn the lesson, and keep chugging along.

Is it the loop or just ii initial ?

Just the initial and the assessment was done thru Chime

What role were you applying for?

Everything at Amazon requires sql. Lol.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
