Interviewed with Amazon and was told that the hiring manager thinks I don’t fit 100% for the role but the team thinks I am good Amazon fit. Is this a somewhat good feedback or just how Amazon treats rejected candidate?

I got this feedback twice at Amazon so I kept going through 9 more interviews for roles that they referred me to and that purportedly would be a better fit for me. Then after the last of those interviews they ghosted me and never gave me a yes/no answer to my application.

What role did you interview for?

It's a good feedback and better than a rejection which will put you on the blacklist for 6 months at the minimum.
This means you can still apply for roles and be considered. You should also ask the recruiter if he/she can refer you to others teams internally.

I received the same feedback from another Tech company. The way I would think about it is that you now have a strong referral for another role at Amazon.

It helps but isn’t stronger than that nor will the team go out of their way to help find a role.

When I separated from the military, I interviewed with Target to run a Distribution Center. I got the same response and the result was 3 other locations tried to find me roles in order to try to keep in the network.

I ended up going to DHL for a PM role but I took it just as a compliment / acknowledgement of my skillset despite whatever constraint (budget, project cancelled, better candidate found).

I got rejected by amazon after an interview but it was a really good learning experience in terms of learning. I think you got a good feedback, if I were you I would connect with the interviewers in LI and keep in touch in case they do find a role you’re better suited for

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

I recently transitioned from a small, boutique agency to a global agency — meaning I went from being on an account team of 2, to being on a team of 10+. I’m also not currently managing anyone (and I miss it!). I entered this new role promising myself to set new boundaries since I’m used to measuring my success by my stress level. However, old habits die hard. I feel underutilized six months into the role. How can I adjust to finally having support and resources after years of abuse?
