I applied for L6 Sr DS role, went through the first round and then my recruiter reached out saying HM thinks I am a better fit for BIE L6. I went through round 2 Phone screen and aced the interview. 3 SQL questions, all done pretty well. Interviewer gave great feedback. On the leadership principles did pretty well as well. I was rejected after round 2, told my recruiter that I think I did great and I am surprised with the result. He is now following up with HM to see if they want to consider me for L5.
I am disappointed to see how this is being handled. L6 DS to L6 BIE and now L5.
Surely not going for L5, is this common with Amazon?

I interviewed for L6 DS and they down leveled me to L5, and I have a PhD in CS๐คจ. I was stupid enough to take L5 believed the manager who told me he will promote me to L6 within a couple of months. Guess whatโฆ manager left the team after 2 months and no one had a recollection that I aced the interview and I was supposed to be an L6!!
Long story short, I went through an internal re-loop and received L5 Applied Scientist offers from two teams! Amazon recruiters are very incompetent in matching you with the right role and level.
I hope you find a good team. PM if youโd like. I explored different teams for making the internal transfer.
