I recently interviewed for a Business Analyst role at Amazon. Unfortunately I didn’t make it but the recruiter mentioned that the interview panel found me a good fit for a less technical role (supply chain, program manager). When I asked about the cooling period she said that there isn’t any and I can apply immediately. My question is what happens now and what should I do? Should I continue to apply for roles at Amazon and will there be interviews again? Also if anyone here can refer me to supply chain analyst role or PM role, I would greatly appreciate it.

That means you passed the interview and are a good fit for Amazon, just not that specific role. The recruiter should be able to find you another team. I would ask them to help you find another role that would be a better fit. You can also apply online and give the recruiter the job # and she can reach out to the hiring manager for you. It’s the recruiters job to help you locate a role. Some of them are not so helpful. I was in a similar situation so I know what you’re going through. I’m actually starting there next month :-)
Unfortunately, I do not have contact info of the recruiter. I was in touch with another recruiter but is just the scheduler. The main recruiter contacted me through phone but never emailed. How long did it take for you to find anotjer position
Ask the recruiter coordinator for the recruiters contact information. The recruiter should have reached out to you via email. It took me about a month to find another position. The position I interviewed for was filled but they wanted to keep me so they found a few other roles and I picked the team that I thought was a better fit.
I reached out to another recruiter with whom I was in touch with for a supply chain analyst role. She said that the interview panel recommended me for a PM role. Amazonians can you please point me in the direction here. I will appreciate it if you can refer me for some non-tech PM roles.
What is your skill set ? Did you feel like the technical portion was hard? What did the technical portion consist of ?
It was sql. But the level was difficult. I think hard level of leetcode. I do use sql in my current role but not extensively.
Was this entry level business analyst?
Sorry to hear you didn't get the offer. Out of curiosity, what team was the interview with? I think knowing how technical that team is could help. For example, if they're super technical but turned you down for not meeting their tech bar, that could be different.
Amazon Air. Its a new team and they will start with just one BA role
DM me. I can try to help find roles for you that you can send to recruiter? (Company says New but I'm at Amazon.)
