When you update your resume in their portal, it automatically updates all applications

[cedar locust]

[grim forge]

I’m telling you

You gotta send them an offer

Reverse card

[cedar locust]

mayb i j need to send more memes

[grim forge]

Zon recruiting seems a bit of a mess tbh

[cedar locust]

it 1000% is this cycle

not sure y

my guess is 5 day rto has everyone leaving

so they have a huge shortage

[grim forge]

Probably has something to do with it

[novel cliff]

they prob send out OA based on school lol

my school they sent out VO recently for people from december 21st

[cedar locust]

VO*?

I think theyre just a mess tbh

[shut maple]

you think emailing my recruiter will do anything mip

[cedar locust]

I have ppl at my school who took after me and got VO already

[cedar locust]

Wym

Oh like for me?

[shut maple]

have you been emailing the general email

[cedar locust]

Idk man

Yea

I just sent an email this morning

10 days after my last follow up

And another one right after cuz i forgot to ask in the first, just one asking that “you guys are considering the correct resume right” type message

[ebon leaf]

possibly the same for mine but they sent in early jan. heard of a couple other ppl at my school early jan 😭

is my school just cooked then

theres ppl who got earlier but i think they werent general sdei

[novel cliff]

*VO i meant

[stoic spire]

i got my OA in dec, my school isn't even top 20, hella masters folks already have an intern offer

from zon

[cedar locust]

Im t50 😭

[stoic spire]

dude dw mine isn't even top 100, SJSU

[cedar locust]

damn we are getting rngd

i also heard tho that zon is prioritizing distributed systems projects/experience rn for invites

idek

[stoic spire]

rngd? I only have full stack experience, am i cooked

[cedar locust]

No damn idea

All speculation

All rumors

[stoic spire]

What’s rngd tho lol

[cedar locust]

Like unlucky

[cedar locust]

Looks like ive got my weekend carved out for me 😢 gotta update resume in time for next wave of invites, plus got 3 finals this week 😭😭💔💀

[stoic spire]

Damn that’s rough, are u gonna fake the distributed project??

[grim forge]

School finals or final interviews

[cedar locust]

3 school exams i meant

[cedar locust]

No

I b buildin shi

[hidden forge]

who u be sending follow up to?

[stoic spire]

type shit

[indigo tapir]

how do you know what recruiter you have for zon

i just get generalized emails from the amazon recruiting team

[stoic spire]

same

did u guys update your profile on your portal, i only have my resume and school there

@cedar locust

[cedar locust]

Ive updated my resume many times

Prob around 4 times since applying

1st time i updated i got OA like 7 days later

And ive updated it a few more times since then just little nitpicky stuff

[stoic spire]

ah my resume is updated but not the other fields

also what do u think the interview to offer conversion rate is 😭

[cedar locust]

Bro prob like 50% tbh

Realistically

[stoic spire]

damn that's wild

[cedar locust]

Yea i think theyre more focused on “not making any bad hires” as opposed to “making great hires”

Imo zon just looks for potential and nothing else

[stoic spire]

if that's the case, imma jump off a roof if i don;t get it

lwk feel like if i can't make to amzon then it's all been for nth

💀

[cedar locust]

Lowk, actually it prob wont convert to a VO or nothing, but maybe if ur like “my friend doesnt have a recruiter but he wants to ask xyz” maybe theyll provide some reassuring information on the process

[cedar locust]

Real bro i feel the same

If i cant even crack zon im a failure

But tbh

Its HEAVILY rng

[stoic spire]

dude ive look met atleast 10 folks in my uni that have zon offer for summer

half of them doesn't kno half the shit ive done

i lwk dunno if i should worry my interview was like fab

[cedar locust]

Ya like i said RNG

Same for me

[cedar locust]

U already took interview?

[stoic spire]

ya

[cedar locust]

Oh shi

I still dont even have VO smfh

Genuinely so annoying bru

[stoic spire]

did u follow up

[cedar locust]

Wish they would just reject or give VO already

Yea twice

[stoic spire]

i followeed up and got the survey in 5 mins

💀 abso wild

[cedar locust]

Both times they basically said “ur still under consideration just sit tight”

[stoic spire]

same i got it too, and the survey lol

[cedar locust]

Fml

Hopefully i get this week

I followed up a third time LMAO

But its the weekend so they wont respond

[stoic spire]

u will get it, lol u have my wishes

[abstract bloom]

when did you oa

[cedar locust]

1/5

aced

careful on LPs

[abstract bloom]

i aced my OA 12/19 and just got an email on monday

I think if you get OA they don't look at resume anymore it's just off of OA

idk why for some people it takes longer than others

[cedar locust]

my theory is just ppl are batch assigned to teams based on their resume

[abstract bloom]

ohhh

i mean that would make sense

[cedar locust]

and the majority get assigned to like aws or some large queue in general

[abstract bloom]

cause my resume is extremely web dev project heavy which im guessing is the most common

[cedar locust]

and so it takes longer to get thru a fat queue then if u get sent to some specialized queue

[abstract bloom]

yeah that makes sense

idk if that's real but it's believable to me

[cedar locust]

my entire resume is in depth ML and AI 😭

[abstract bloom]

yeah idk it all feels so random

[cedar locust]

just a theory

lol

im just goin nuts so im thinking of all the different ways so i can cope with not getting VO yet

[abstract bloom]

LMFAO

i feel like

yk

at any stage of the interview process

you just gotta assue it's over until you have an offer in hand

[cedar locust]

yea literally

smh

i need zon

my only shot at big tech this year

[abstract bloom]

good luck tho

im sure you will be okay

[cedar locust]

hopefully

thanks mayne

[abstract bloom]

when I was stressing out, I just started thinking about what I was excited for in my non big tech internship

and lowkey that

's made it all easier cause i was content ngl,

by this point even if i don't get zon i'll be happy with what i do have

[balmy geyser]

I’m ghosted after perfect oa too

[cedar locust]

When oa

[balmy geyser]

Don’t remember exact date tbh

But like Feb 2-5?

Is when I did it

[cedar locust]

Yo ah might be waiting till mid march

[balmy geyser]

🫣🫣

[novel cliff]

i have a good feeling it's just based on school

like recruiter is assigned to a specific school

and each have a different pace

[cedar locust]

Sigh

Looks like my ngmi school has an ngmi recruiter

Sigh

[grim forge]

💀

Ngmi recruiter

[indigo tapir]

I did mine feb 1
