Saw an internal job posting that was a perfect fit - my skills matched exactly. I had a good interview with someone I already knew. Then nothing for 7 weeks until I got a basic rejection email. Nobody will tell me why - when I asked HR if it was about my age, they freaked out. The person they hired is way younger. Does it sound like age discrimination?

We can never know for sure. Unless there is some policy they didn’t follow where they have to prioritize internal hires or this person is less qualified than you then it’s only speculation. You could talk to a lawyer about it

I don't know if we could reasonably determine that based on the information we have. The fact that they were younger could be entirely coincidental. I'm sorry you didn't get the job. Hopefully, you'll find something soon.

It's entirely possible that you were eliminated from consideration because of your age. But I would bet there's no way to prove it. Companies can pass people over for any number of reasons and they're not required to reveal the decision making process.

Does anyone have any insight into accounting roles at Amazon, particularly in the Arlington/DC area? An Amazon recruiter reached out about accounting roles, but the posts in this bowl are about Seattle. Trying to decide if the culture/wlb/pay is even worth looking into since it sounds like the interview process is intense. Base pay seemed pretty low in other posts, but they were a year old and for Seattle.
