I’ve had a first round interview with a company and am scheduled for a second round this week. The recruiter let me know that they actually won’t be hiring until a couple months down the line. Is this normal?

It’s not normal but can happen. They’re basically telling you that it’s not a top priority role so I would stick with it but continue my search.

This is common, although it shouldn’t be. I wouldn’t over think it. Maybe offer to have the conversation now and then when they’re able to move forward they will remember you.

I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter for a remote Sr. Program Manager role. I took and passed the assessment and was moved to the hiring manager round which was scheduled for tomorrow. I got an email tonight saying that the Director of the group decided that the person must be in Seattle. I am in Austin, which is not an option. I’m disappointed! The recruiter will let me know if any remote roles come up but in the mean time, does anyone have any remote Amazon roles that they’d refer me to?
