Hi,
I have been asked for a 2nd phone tech screen with Amazon. Initially the recruiter said they will just have one as I already have 2 other offers. This is for an SDM role. I had applied for Sr SDM but since I manage 25 people now they said SDM would be right fit.
My first phone screen went well and went over by 20 min. Why would they request another phone screen and is it normal?

Take my word for it, take the best offer you have currently.
I felt i did my phone screen well but we had only 10 minutes for systems design question. So, i am guessing that might be the reason for the second phone screen
I wouldn’t think too much into it.
It could be that you got a bad phone screener and you need to do it again.
It could be that the interviewer thinks that you could be interviewed as Sr SDM and a second opinion is needed.
It could be that there was some mixed signals or a red flag but the interviewer really believes you are a great candidate and needs a second option on the bad parts.
In any case, they want to move forward with your candidacy as you just weren’t rejected.
Disappointed that I did not make it. Perplexed as I dont have an idea about what I need to do better for the next time.
