Passed interview for SDEII/L5 in Denver, but both positions for the team were filled via internal transfer.

Recruiter is telling me to send him other openings at Amazon, including other locations, and I can join there.

That happen to anyone? Seems odd to me.

    This unfortunately happens. Amazon hiring is a little different than others, in the the first qualified applicant to make it through the loop gets the role. If there are multiple qualified candidates, they are never directly compared to each other to select the best fit (officially, at least). When we do have a candidate end up in the position you're in, we usually do find them a role because we really do want them as part of the company. Sometimes it can take a little while to find that match, though, as it's a heavy lift for the recruiter.

      What did you end up doing?

      I was really happy with my recruiter up until now be he seems to be dropping the ball seeing which other teams need headcount.
