I was invited for a final interview ( meet and greet with the team), but I was given a heads up from HR that I was the only candidate left and I should expect an offer regardless. I really appreciated the heads up so I didn't have to feel nervous going into the interview. Is this common nowadays to let candidates know when they have an upcoming offer in advance?

Congratulations! I never heard of this before. I would personally only rejoice fully once I receive the offer in writing. It's still awesome news!

thank you!

We like to do that where I work... Usually, the last step is just a formality to offer the job and meet the team, but we already know we want the person, and we want the person to be relaxed, so this means the process ended in the last interview, and now they are trying to transition to the best way possible. Enjoy, I am so happy for you.

thank you so much!

That's exciting, congrats! I've never heard of this really happening, but I can definitely see it. Seems a little bit like a formality more than anything, but it's exciting regardless!

thank you!!

Congratulations, that's great to hear! We're instructed not to do this, no matter how sure we feel about the candidate in question. The last thing I want to deal with is an extremely uncomfortable conversation if something happens at the 11th hour causing the offer to fall through. It very rarely happens (and I'm sure it won't for you), but it's better to be safe than sorry.

that makes more sense to me - and thank you!

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement.

It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
