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?

No, you’d just miss out on upside as mentioned above (easier to learn when in the same room, good to connect with Bainies)
Are the people you’re doing internal work with from your office and are they physically going in (I.e., would you get to see them in person)? If not, then I don’t see any reason for you to go in.
However, if you have the opportunity to work in person then my recommendation would be to do so. This job is hard, and building actual connections with people makes a difference. That’s harder to do virtually in my opinion. Your mileage may vary.
You don’t want to start your Bain career feeling like you don’t belong or not feeling confident (trust me, there’s plenty of time for that). Getting comfortable being in the office, working with other Bainies, and getting to know people are all good things you can be doing to put yourself in position to succeed. This is especially true since you’re (presumably) new to the working world.
