The email continued to say they feel very strongly that I would be an amazing fit for Microsoft once they find the right role. They asked to keep the door open but were not able to provide a timeline. Have you experienced this? Currently I’m a sales account manager at Amazon with account executive responsibilities which may have been confusing to them. The role at Microsoft was for an account manager role. I believe most of my examples in the interview came off AE like, driving large annual revenue, and this is why they did not want to put me in a small box. I really want an opportunity with them and don’t know if this email is a way to put me on hold for a long time or if they’ll actually follow through. Would appreciate your perspective!
Yes I’ve had that experience, worst hiring process in the industry
Did they share what roles they are considering you for? Might help with determining why they think the role that you interviewed for was not a good fit
Sounds like some BS
What’s the difference between the AM and AE roles according to you?
What do you mean you’re an AM at Amazon but with AE responsibilities?
AE on my accounts was never replaced. I’ve been filling in both positions for months.
