Multiple times Amazon recruiters asking me if I am interested in considering a role at Amazon while I am already late in the Amazon interview process. Maybe for the system design interview I can suggest designing a system for recruiters regarding new hires? There can be a really cool feature that looks in a DB for the candidates name and returns a bool called ‘isAlreadyInterviewing’. Also why is Amazon outsourcing all recruiting to India? Thoughts?

There are systems in place that already do that. In fact, that’s what recruiters are supposed to do before outreaching. My best guess is either they skipped that step or they couldn’t find you under the system given the data they had (like having a different legal name on the system).
Good to hear I was starting to get worried.
Yes.
I work for Amazon and I get emails from Amazon recruiters 😃
I use two names and two emails to juggle
I work at Amazon and get solicited via linked from Amazon
Thats bc the recruiters arent dupe checking. There is a simple tool to highlight a name, press a letter on your keyboard and it pops up the 3 recruiting systems and dupe checks them all. This doesnt work if your name is common like "john Smith". Recruiters will spend 2 min looking and then reach out anyway. I always sent angry emails to other recruiters when they clearly ignored my "engaged" messages on candidates I reached out to. Recruiting fucking sucks at amazon. I will never do that again.
Sourcing of candidates is becoming “that task nobody wants to really spend the time on and that everyone (including managers and engineers) get asked to help with” I’m still amazed whenever I get to interview strong candidates. It’s like, by some miracle, those candidates saw past all the disorganization and bad rep Amazon has built lately, and still managed to be excited about interviewing with us. Just had one of those candidates a few days ago (double ex-FAANG). I’m still shaking my head and wondering if the candidate will take the offer.
Sourcing isnt easy. I get paid as much as an engineer to do it all day. Amazon has salted the fucking earth and every good engineer on LinkedIn has gets at the very least 1 message every 14 days (per tagging guidelines). Plain and simple - there is a finite amount of tech talent, and although it is a growing industry, amazon consistently is not even seen as worth it to most seasoned engineers.
How are you making so much? Is it because of stock appreciation? Or were you awarded that much
I have the same question. How you making $400k with 2 years of experience.
Rust + crypto industry is in high demand. There are tons of companies with lots of money to pay Devs but not that many devs in crypto as well as Rust developers in general.
