I applied for SDE. I got rejected after the on-site but at the same time the recruiter told me that the team thought that my profile fits better for a Sr Technical Program Manager. I know that the position has nothing to do with Software Development itself so I am wondering.

Did the team really saw something in my profile that matches with such a position or the recruiter is just being proactive?

Have any of you had a similar experience?

Thanks for your comments.

    This means you had strong answers for the Leadership Principles but didnโ€™t have exactly what the team was looking for when it comes to the technical aspect of the role. Just means they thought you could still be a good fit for Amazon and wanted to consider you for other roles :)

      Thanks. Do you think that I need to start the interview loop from the beginning?

      Iโ€™d ask your recruiter but most likely no... possibly a mini loop.

    I applied for a Program manager role back in 2017 and my onsite went really well. But recruiter told me no and she said that there is another team that would be a great fit for you. After that I had a phone interview with that new manager and I got the offer letter and joined Amazon.

    When I joined Amazon I was curious to know why I didn't get the role I interviewed for as my interview went really well. I got to know that they interviewing another internal candidate in parallel and they gave that position to him as Amazon gives first preference to their employees.

    So, to answer your query either they found another internal employee or they genuinely felt that you might be a great fit for Sr Tech PM.

      Thatโ€™s quite interesting. I am really looking forward to know more about the role and the process behind. I hope I can get the answers at some point. For now I can only wait for the recruiter to reach out. Thanks.

    Apply and see what offer they give. It might be a way to better understand what they looking for and make a switch in time. Strong leadership doesn't come along very often which is why you were informed in the first place. Best of luck.

    If same tc, then go for it. Else, you will be looked down in the team. Cuz this role is useless
