Just got rejected from an in house role that I was feeling pretty good about. They actually called me in for this role after passing over me in the fall. I talked to everyone in the department. Hiring manager had reached out to me before I met the others to provide addl background on everyone else I was meeting. Is it appropriate for me to ask the hiring manager for feedback here? This one hurt.

Yes. You should. You can understand their thought process or find out what you did wrong (if anything). If you went through more than 2 interviews I believe you are owed an honest explanation.

I agree with P 1. You have nothing to lose. It’s a good opportunity to let them know you honestly were really excited about the company and the role, and you’d be interested in talking again if this position (or similar) opens up in the future. I didn’t apply to an opening at my current company a few years ago because i wasn’t sure I wanted to leave my firm. A couple years later, a different role opened up in the same dept, which was an even better fit. So it worked out perfectly. Getting the feedback is valuable, and another great door will open in the future for you, either at the same company or somewhere else. And meanwhile, keep getting experience and banking those BigLaw bucks!

You’ll never know what happened…we were all set to hire someone with great credentials and fit then a former Supreme Court clerk applied last minute with powerful references and strong background. (Ended up being great but the other applicant would have been great as well). For all you know the CEOs cousin had applied as well. If opens up again might be worth a shot to try again.

Asking wouldn’t hurt—what can be done now—but I doubt you’d get an honest answer. You’ll likely hear something akin to “we had many highly qualified candidates with not enough spaces to fill, etc.” kind of like if you’ve ever received a rejection letter from one of the colleges or law schools you applied to.

HR isnt going to let them be honest but it doesn’t hurt to ask.

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.
It is more of sitting with users to understand their process and map it to CRM suite and build additional features to map their specific processes.
I have also worked on sales, BD and functional spec creation for new features.
Can I count these as Product Management experience while applying for Amazon or other Faangmula?
