I passed the final Amazon L6 PM interview loop but was not a mutual fit for the team. I have talked to others on the team but it is still not a good fit. Do recruiters have less incentive to match me outside of the team they recruit for? Will they keep trying to find a fit only within the same team? If I want to interview with a different team, will they stop trying as hard?
So they downleveled you to L5?
No I was not downleveled. Still L6 PM
How do you know who is the HM? I just had l6 loop Friday
I interviewed with the HM
Microsoft can you tell me your loop experience I have one coming up soon for PM role
How long can try to team match for? Is there a “pool” of people that passed the bar? I have an on-site next week but wife is 7 months pregnant and would likely defer joining for another 6 months
This happened to me as well. Cleared my final loop for AWS TPM. My recruiter told me that he is working on a team match. Any idea how long it will take and if I should send over job postings and try reaching out to HM myself. Thank you.
Here’s what I recommend - you need an Amazon insider to help you find the right role and speak to the hiring manager on your behalf. They will tell the HM that you passed the L6 loop and ask for the HM to assess fit via a phone coffee chat. If HM wants to move forward, they will work it out with the recruiters on both the new team and old team. Offer should be directly transferable
Thank you for the advice. I would think the recruiter would be the insider. Does this mean they won’t try to find me a match on another team? If not how do I find an Amazon insider?
The recruiter is only assigned to a specific org/team. They have no incentive to help you outside of this.
