I just interviewed with Amazon for the Sr. PM position. I had four back to back interviews. Two of which were also PMs. However, who was the bar raiser in this case if the third was a UI Designer and the fourth was a Software Engineer? 🤔

The bar raiser is always from a different team. So whoever in this case didn’t work for the team (their role doesn’t matter) is the bar raiser.

Looks like you didn't have the bar raiser yet.
It looks like it was a loop round and all of them were loop interviewers.

The bar raiser will happen after this.

Exactly. A1 is spot on. The bar raiser is an individual, not a separate round.

You

The UI designer?

Bar raiser doesn’t have to be a PM. Could have been any of them

Hard to tell since the UI designer was short on time since the recruiter messed up and sent us to the wrong chime room 15 mins late lol. I felt like the SWE was very pleasant/calm but had more YoE at Amazon.

Sorry could you explain the concept? What is a bar raiser? Do they check to see if you qualify for next level? Are the highest level of all interviewers? Prepping for loop.. would be great insight. TIA

Bar raiser is someone who have to make sure that every new hire is better than the last one (that's why it's called bar raiser, because they have to always "raise the bar")

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
