Hey. Here is what happened to me: Applied to SDE role at Amazon in Seattle. Got to final round. I emphasized leadership principals a LOT on my prep. Amazon is a top spot in my list so I was nervous. There was a lot on the line. Turns out the nerves made me slip a bit on technical questions and I did not do as flawless as I could. I got a call with a "no". That same day I email my recruiter to thank for him time and the experience (it was amazing). He then calls me out of nowhere. Said the team agreed my technical level was not what they wanted but that someone suggested having me interview for TPM/PM-T instead, which is completely fine with me. Apparently my answers to behavioral questions where very solid and the team thought I would be a great fit for those roles. He said since it's a different role there is no cool off, so I can start right away (applying). So he tells me that I should look at jobs online and that every single one I find and apply to I should let him know ASAP. My question for Amazonians is: should I take this as a very good sign? Should I feel confident that a recruiter is telling me to keep him posted on every job I apply to? Maybe I get a quicker interview process? Idk. I want thoughts from you all. Thanks!
This is confusing. SDE 1 is L4, but there is no TPM L4.
The interview difficulty will vary a lot by the level
This is a given. Would you say a recruiter reaching out after I gave SDE a try is a plus, or irrelevant?
How did it go ?
Total bait and switch from recruiter. I got ghosted.

TikTok vs Stay at AWS
What level?
If you are referring to the TPM/PM-T roles I am applying to: no idea since the website doesn't say. I assume they are not at a high level because I don't have many YOE. The role I interviewed for was SDE 1
