I'd recommend going for a couple of reasons. First, you might have your mind changed. Second, you could make a worthwhile connection for down the road. Last, if nothing else, it's practice.

Even if the first contact was a recruiter, if they want to see me face to face, I always take the meeting. I’ve met a lot of great people that way. And from a hiring standpoint, I’ve recommended people to other agencies if I liked their work but they weren’t a good fit for me. Always go

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.

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?

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
