Great feedback, but did not think I would be a good fit for the #L6 role. The lead recruiter said the team thinks I would be a great fit for a different role and I should hear back from another recruiter. Is this even a thing? Has anyone been rejected for a role but then accepted a different role after a debrief rejection? #aws #debrief #rejection

This sucks...I had high hopes. Missed the call yesterday and I heard this voicemail today while hoping they would reach out.

    Very common in Amazon.
    In the same boat. Interviewed for a different team, the team extended verbal offer and then for reasons unknown to me I was routed to a new team.

    Stay patient and in touch with your original recruiter. It seems that you have cleared your interview. The next step should be an intro/informal call with a different Hiring manager and then offer.

      I shot her an email, hoping for the best. I’m unhappy where I am.

    I also did L6 but down leveled to L5. I cleared the bar for L5 but not for L6 due to complexity of the work I did isn’t sufficient.

      Thanks so much for the quick reply friend. One more question and that’s it from me, would I have to loop again? It was brutal but willing to have another go to learn and grow with AWS.

      I think this is a hit or miss. Some managers want to have a quick call to find out if you have good personality to work with and align your goals. Other managers want to do a loop due to the fact that they probably didn’t see the answers they are looking for from your interview answers.

  • Amazons bar is really low. I have seen candidates being punted across teams until one team accepts it. While at Amazon I have accepted candidates after being rejected by 3 different teams. They need people. You are good.

    This is fairly common. Most likely, you showed strong LPs but your experience did not align with the hiring manager vision for the role

    I interviewed with Amazon last week. Waiting for outcome. I have similar situation with two other companies. Passed both interviews. Unfortunately no offer just yet because team match didn’t work out. One didn’t have headcount for that level on that team any more, so waiting to be rematched. The other the team think I won’t be the right fit for their team, so recruiter is searching for another team again....
    My life is tough recently. I pray for you and hope you land your job soon!

      Amen anon, I’m rooting for you too. I’ve been resubmitted to two others she’s looking for more. This waiting game sucks but I want in badly.

      What’s the process like? Do you just talk to the hiring manager? Or there are additional interviews?
