i was contacted by a recruiter from amazon aws. i proceeded to take and basically nailed it. however, i am not sure about the particular team and geography. can i ask the recruiter if he can refer me to a different team in a differnet city? will he be willing to do it, and if yes, will i have to restart the process again ?
join and switch teams
How early after joining can I switch teams ?
I was told switch on day one is possible. I am also about to join. Don’t know much details about process
Just tell the recruiter you didn't see a fit with that team and ask to be considered for others. Point to a posted job ad. You will likely need to do a new interview loop with that team but it is for the better so you get a good feel for that team. I think the easy internal transfers is too disruptive. I think you should have to stay in a position at least 6 months.
You need to talk to the hiring manager if you want to be put else where. But for a different team, that would be difficult.
Huh. This doesn't sound right to me. A recruiter at Amazon should honor your ask for another city or team. If you have an offer for role and level, then that is usually good for any team at Amazon. You might need to press the recruiter since they will want to keep you for "their" partner teams. But it's well understood we will put candidate preferences first.
