I was about to have my loop yesterday for a PM role after receiving very positive feedback about my phone screen, but got a call from the recruiter shortly before that the role no longer needed to be filled.

I saw today Amazon is instituting a hiring freeze - has anyone else experienced something similar?

I had a phone screen, after which HR set a 15 mins call and told me that they really liked me but the role is not available anymore so I should share other role options that are of interest to me. I shared those options but haven’t heard a response since. Wondering if I should go ahead and apply for those other options or wait for a response.

I'd apply if I were you, but in terms of the response to my story, it sounds like you experienced the same thing I did.

I am pending my phone interview on Monday and when I spoke to my recruiter I was told that mine was a backfill. I saw the news today about the freeze but it stated that will not affect the backfills. I didn’t get any cancellation today.

Went through the loop and got an offer but it was below expectations. During the recruiting process I was told it was a sr manager position, but when the offer was extended it was for a manger. I have a competing offer that came in after I already accepted the Amazon offer and now I have no idea what to do. The other offer is stronger but… I mean it’s Amazon. And if I don’t take this now I’m never going to get here again bc there is no way in hell I’m going through that loop again. Any advice?
