Amen. I’m hitting every person in my network looking for referrals. But it’s weird to come right out and ask, so you have to do that weird song and dance first. Maybe a coffee

Agreed. Though connecting back with your network and seeking advice not only lessens the pain but provides good options. Seek your network out. It works. That is a much better and surer way to get a job then applying online (where the success rate is lower making it frustrating - though I have seen success).

didn't pass the loop for an L7 role earlier this month, and i found a good suitable l6 role. One of the interviewers added me on linkedin a few weeks back- is it inappropriate if i reach out to him to say thanks and ask him to put in a word for me with hiring manager for the l6 role?
i don't know y i was not selected, and i think its still worth it to reach out. 1 because i think i did well in the interviews and 2 its saves both of us time - to know if i should pursue further or not. Thoughts?

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'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?
