Get a referral

like

I’ve gotten several referrals but no rejection or even an interview. I’ve even gotten a recruiter who reached out to me asking for date and time for call and when I replied, I never got another reply confirming or a call. It’s like being ghosted.

Your best bet is to find someone who works there that can get a recruiter to do their bidding. AKA PPMD

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
