My recruiter reached out to me and told me headcount has been released and hiring managers are hunting candidates for team matching. Also, an interesting change, he said that recruiters are now being aligned to product groups rather than to levels only. They hope this will help you interviewing for specific product groups at least rather than a generic level.

I have been in TM phase since mid Nov and no TM interviews despite high interview ratings (TPM L5 Kirkland/Seattle). ..but now I am at Amazon, the situation is very different...

    Does that mean we are not interviewing for a general swe role but will be matched to a team before interviewing?

      So we still get to choose the team even before passing the HC?

      I don't know. From my experience reading here, usually you do HC before TM, but SDEs may do a TM first if interview feedback meets a certain threshold. That way if TM is there it becomes a quicker discussion. Now, it appears you will at least be interviewing in a certain product group (that you are interested in) so you may have the TM and interview scores set after the one onsite before going to HC.

    Was sent back to HC to ask for an L6 eval interview and waiting to hear back before scheduling a pending HM interview.

    Sooo any TPM have TM calls in the last week? I've heard crickets from my recruiter -- even when I ask about 2020 headcount opening.
