I want to boomerang to Amazon (seriously). But it’s so hard.

3.5 years back was TPM at Amazon. My manager put me on Dev list once he found out I had a google offer. I was stupid enough to tell him. Got 2 promotions at google in 3.5 years. L4 to l6. I’m very bored at google and the job isn’t challenging at all. EE / SEE / S(P) / EE / SEE / SEE (P) ratings at google. I would like to interview for L7 TPM at Amazon and I am very confident I will clear the interview. But no recruiter gives me a chance. I miss amazons fast paced work culture. What should I do.

Go to Facebook instead, same fast pace culture and no 🍌

This or a startup. Or maybe a unicorn. You'll probably even get free food instead of just bananas. Why fight to go back to an environment that's already screwed you over?

What if he loves 🍌?

If you have a connection either a Director or a VP, reach out to them. Or if you know a hiring manager, reach out to them to make an exception.

I don’t know the hiring manager. But am very very confident of acing the interview.

Any way your old contacts still in Amazon can refer you? That works out sometimes. If you have no one, DM me

Just quit Google. Add open to work on LinkedIn. Amazon recruiters will flock to ya.

Google ksos OP Nov 7, 2021

I do get contacted by Amazon recruiter. They go silent after I send my resume.

Capital One msspm Nov 7, 2021

On dev/pip before at Amazon, maybe? Ex manager marked you as URA? Other than that, there’s something they don’t like about your resume.

And I'm sorry you had to go through this, op

Dev list means not eligible for rehire

Google ksos OP Nov 7, 2021

Any way around ? There was nothing wrong with my performance at Amazon. I told my manager that I’ll be quitting soon and I want to train someone and he put me on dev list.

Your manager got a URA freebie thanks to you not keeping your mouth shut. There’s a reason why the golden rule is to only give 2 weeks notice.

"I’m very bored at google and the job isn’t challenging at all." "I miss amazons fast paced work culture." Can we trade jobs.

Google ksos OP Nov 7, 2021

Sure. I don’t mind. But boomeranging back to Amazon is so hard for me. No recruiter wants to talk to me.

Amazon mxxw64 Nov 7, 2021

I think you are a troll. I don't believe that no recruiter are spamming you given you work at Google. Recruiters are bombarding me even though I already work for Amazon.

Just reach out to folks in Amazon and ask them to refer. Seriously L6 Google and you need someone to teach you this ? If you don’t know any, that’s why you have blind or LinkedIn. Many people are nice enough to refer if you ask them.

Google ksos OP Nov 7, 2021

Referral won’t help if I am not eligible for rehire. I wanna ensure that exceptions can be made before I ask someone. I have plenty of friends at Amazon.

Referrals will help if you are not trolling. We can put you with the HM and explain your situation and then engage the recruiter.

No tc?
