Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

MBB would definitely get more responses from recruiters. But assuming you are the same person in both scenarios with the same abilities and intellect, all it takes is one interview to convert into an offer.
EYP/S& seem much easier to access for me. Got interviews at both easily (they came to me on LinkedIn) but I didn't get selected to interview with the two of the three MBB I tried.
10 yoe total, with 5 in consulting post-mba. Top 10 mba.

Got an interview at all coming out of B4 Advisory so it’s possible, but I definitely benefited from the great resignation + being in a hot space (digital/cloud).
Once you get an interview, the interview/case process relatively straight forward at all firms (MBB requires some fine tuning such as PEI or interviewee led cases) but from a timeline perspective I got same-day responses from S& and EYP recruiters when I submitted my application vs MBB where I basically forgot I submitted my applications until I got invited to R1.
