I did an on-site for AWS, was rejected, which is fine. But 2 days later a new Amazon AWS recruiter reached out to me for a different role. Is this normal? Should I share that I was rejected from the other role? Am I still a potential hire for them for this new role that I match better with? Thank you
It is the same exact type of role? Like sde and sde or are they reaching out for a different job family? If it’s for a different job family it could be that you were recycled into a different job family that is more a match . Your recruiter should have told you that tho.... Most likely it’s a recruiter not doing dupe checks and doesn’t realize you were recently declined
Not same role.. but part of the huge parent team. I will mention it, nothing to lose.
Did you mention it ? What happened after that ? Can you please tell
Interesting I did an onsite back in August at Amazon ATX for swe. I didn’t get an offer (didn’t do any LC prep and misunderstood system design). Since then I’ve practiced and gotten other offers from some good companies, so I wanted to apply for Amazon Nova (recruiters have messaged me a few times about it so I just decided to follow up) The recruiter told me based on interview notes I could only apply for DE (they recommended me for that now SWE after last onsite).. or wait a year for SWE again 😔

Yes it happens. You may not have been a fit for the original role but you sound like you are a fit for amazon, so they recycled your resume and found another role you *may* be a better fit for. Take it as a second chance and try it out. Though you should have been told that from recruiter 1.
Amazon recruiter is terrible. This was another one via LinkedIn
Then they probably had no idea you were recently declined unfortunately
