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.

So I was offered a role in Strategy Consulting in after 2 years in Risk Consulting however, after 2 years I’ve only worked on Internal audit engagements few ad hocs such as updating risk register and the delegation of authority matrix.

Honestly speaking I am doing good and I am up for promotion in October however I am not fully enjoying my time but I fear that the move would not be a good and I can’t hit the ground running which scares me.

Any advice and past experiences in such career shit?
