Dropbox cooldown

Is there a cooldown at dropbox? Recruiter didn’t mention anything in the rejection email. I interviewed 4 months back for Apm, but now want to try out for the swe role. #dropbox

Just send in another application?

There is no official cool down so it can’t hurt to ask.

I share a great relationship with my recruiter, and want to try and avoid sounding needy to her. What's the best way to do this?

Asking if you can apply to another role is not being needy. Recruiters are literally paid to hire people. If you are qualified for the role you are helping the recruiter by asking. Just send an email — tell her you really like dbx and were also interested in this other role and ask her if she could submit you to be considered for it.

Phone or onsite reject? If phone, it's 1 yr.

To the extent this applies I don’t think it would apply for applying to a completely different role unless the candidate bombed the cultural aspects of the interview

Phone screen Didn't bomb my interview at all, it was a close call as per the recruiter's email. APM is 10x more competitive than SWE, even the slightest of things can lead to rejection
