I was going through the 8th round of interviews next week. So far, they all have been different people within the agency. This gig could bring me back to where I was and where I want to go. I went through challenging times in my life and career during the last few years. I am grateful they are giving me a chance to even go through the interview process. I hope I get it. And my message for everyone out there looking for a job is not to give up.

You probably don’t want to work somewhere with 8 rounds of interviews…that seems like a red flag to me!

8 rounds? Seems a bit much.

I happily get what I can get at this point. My resume and portfolio are not in the shape that I can demand. I was so depressed before this opportunity that I thought I had to say goodbye to my career! Most agencies won't let in outsiders.

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.
It is more of sitting with users to understand their process and map it to CRM suite and build additional features to map their specific processes.
I have also worked on sales, BD and functional spec creation for new features.
Can I count these as Product Management experience while applying for Amazon or other Faangmula?

Hello Fishes, I interviewed at a company in October and they responded to me after a month. I accepted the verbal offer last week Wednesday. They said they would give written offer in a week. I have recruiters from the same company reach out for positions at different locations. My current recruiter said once I accept this I can't interview for other positions at the same company. Their process is so slow that I don't really want to miss out on any chance.What would be a great time to follow up?
