Trying to switch firms and here’s my current track record. I’ve so far applied for b4/branded boutiques and a couple tier 2/mbb.

Applied: 10
Interviewed: 5 (all b4/boutiques)
Offers: 4 (all b4/boutiques)

I’m very successful with big 4/boutiques but can’t even get an interview with mbb/tier 2. Any advice on how to work on this?

I interviewed at Amazon for a PM role in Dec. 2020 and was ultimely rejected. I was told I have to wait a year to reapply. Fast forward to June 2022, another recruiter reaches out to me re: a PM role. I pass the screening interview, and move on to the virtual on site interview stage. I randomly get a call from the recruiter telling me there is now a TWO YEAR reapply policy in place so I'm not eligible to interview for any PM roles until Dec. 2022. Anyone ever heard of this policy? Seems strange
