Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

You might be overlooked if you’re just submitting applications and resumes to an online job portal and hoping someone even spends 30 seconds scanning it.
But that’s not the best way to get a job anyway. Use your network to help get referrals into the system or introduce you to hiring managers and recruiters at companies you’re interested in. Then you can start off with explaining the reason for the short times (I’m in the same boat as far as only being at Citrix for a short time before the whole merger/acquisition thing, but there’s a very reasonable explanation as to why I’m looking after only a few months, so it’s a non-issue).
Absolutely! Thanks so much for the feedback. Good luck out there.
