Was interviewing for a new role, 6 video rounds with multiple people went amazing, just before the seventh (they said it will be the last) round got a message the position will not be filled :(

Your situation is probably very different, but for what it's worth... similar thing happened to me. Was trying for a role in industry. After the "we won't fill the position" call I was disappointed, but "it is what it is" (I still had my job after all). Fast forward a couple months and the potential future employer was in the news for tanking share price, key executives leaving, and poor future outlook. Needless to say, I was very happy they had decided to not fill the position.

Actually, the same thing just happened to me right before my final round too. Is it the recession?!

Hi everyone,
One of my friends, he made a switch just 6 months back hoping he would get a better work environment a better package, but now he is just frustrated with the working environment, being a backend developer he has been asked to just fix bugs for almost 5 months now and that too in javascript without any KTs or any other trainings when he clearly did mention in the interview that he does not have prior knowledge on javascript.

What should he do? Any suggestions?

So in how many days I can expect for HR round and further process ?
Or they can ghost me ? Can it happen in Larsen & Toubro Infotech that after clearing both rounds they won't go forward for further process ?

Thanks

Question on on labor laws in the US:

Received an offer from Amazon but I'm concerned about negotiating hard and ending up with an offer that's on the higher end of the pay band when compared to the rest of the (future) team. My concern is during an economic downturn, it would be easier to let me go if the team needs to be downsized. This would be because I would have the least experience on the team & more expensive to retain from a cost perspective.

My concerns valid? #amazon #aws #faang
