I’ve seen candidates hesitate to ask for feedback after rejection. When it is offered, it can be gold for future interviews. Not all feedback is perfect, but some of it helps. Do you usually ask for feedback?

I must admit that I don't, but I can usually tell when something didn't go the way I expected. I find it a lot harder to tell why the resume gets rejected, but my understanding is that they won't be specific about the reasons why you got rejected to avoid discrimination claims, is that right?

You’re right on both points. Interview feedback is easier to read than resume rejection. Many companies keep resume feedback high level for legal reasons, but it’s still worth asking. Sometimes you get hints about fit, timing, or gaps that help you adjust.

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. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). 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.

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?
