So I applied for a backend role at uber and received an email saying something along the lines of: "After reviewing your experience, it looks like there may not be a match for this specific role, however, we would love to schedule an exploratory chat with you to discuss your background and interests." This is very strange I am basically a backend engineer. I don't have much front end, ML, mobile experience. So I am not sure how to approach this call. Any tips or anyone has happened to them? Could I still push for a backend position? #uber #recruiter #hr #phonecall
Say yes. And have that conversation. Could be a number of possibilities, or perhaps a bit of many things at once. Some possibilities: Sometimes HR does this when they know their interview process is not legally compliant and they are in damage control mode. HR may realize there is an issue even if you don’t. Sometimes they have another position they want to recruit you for. Like I say these are examples of what can happen - and it can be both at the same time.
Just trying to understand. You are saying by interviewing me they might become not legally compliant? Or they already not legally compliant and hence they dont want me to be part of it?
@appaiah I'm also curious to learn more about what you mean by legal compliance here
My guess is that while either the position filled or the HM passed on you the recruiter still thinks you’re a good fit for Uber. They can’t find another spot to put you without knowing more about you, so are putting in some effort.
Why are you trying to leave FB for Uber? Are you confident in their stability?
Whats so weird about it? Lol why do so many people on blind act like they saw fire for the first time for very silly things?! Just talk to the recruiter and listen to what they have to say. Duh
Amen. I have no clue what's so weird about this.
Well I normally just get a rejection email or invitation to interview for the role. What was weird about this is that my background is purely backend so I dont see how they would fit me with other position

Do you really think Amazon is that bad
Recruiter wants to learn from you and use it to talk to someone else
Can you elaborate? Talk to who? So I could still push to get a backend position?
To the candidate they want to hire haha in future
