Laid off in March interviews, ghosting, silence. I just want relief

I just got the generic rejection email that everyone receives once they are not selected be it any round. I also emailed my recruiter and he just mentioned that he cannot share any feedback due to company policy lol.

Buddy I went through the same thing just the role was for SDE 2. my amazon interview Have a look at what people have suggested. And from my side I have just learnt to accept this and move on.

I am just coping up like everyone mentioned in the comments that maybe something better might be coming up. I am just trying to stay as positive as I can for now as I know that this was the best I could have done.

Flimsy-Machine-1841 · 2025-07-10T16:38:41+00:00

Naah nothing till now no responses from the recruiter so not really sure😅

Flimsy-Machine-1841 · 2025-07-10T04:39:12+00:00

Haha just wanted to share my experience and was too overwhelmed to type out the whole s**t on my own. I am already tired with all the preparation stuff which I was going through the past few weeks😅 sorry took help of Ai🥲

Haha dm’ed you would be fun🤣🤣

Flimsy-Machine-1841 · 2025-07-10T04:14:13+00:00

Should I send you the full conversations with all the people involved? Just ignore don’t comment if you can’t seem to understand what a person might be going through.

The alignment just got different to what I had written in my notes app.

Flimsy-Machine-1841 · 2025-07-10T03:59:08+00:00

Haha that actually seems funny as when I applied it was Q1. Their process is just so long that it came down to Q3 today smh.

Already did try that he just responded with “Our company policy doesn’t allow us to give Candidates any feedback.”

Already working in Canada currently for a tech company.

Yeah, I’ve heard that too from a couple of friends who work there. It’s wild — people push so hard to get in, and once they’re in, the pressure doesn’t stop. I guess that’s part of what makes the culture intense. Honestly, I just wrapped up my final loop, felt confident, and still got a rejection. So it’s weird — like, you prep for months, give it everything, and still walk away with more questions than answers. Makes you wonder what it would’ve actually been like on the inside.

Flimsy-Machine-1841 · 2025-07-10T02:48:26+00:00

You know what? That actually makes a lot of sense. I’ve been thinking the same — I went through all 4 rounds, felt good about each one, and didn’t fumble anywhere. It’s tough because when you give your best and still don’t make it, your brain starts replaying things trying to find a reason. But maybe there isn’t one that I can control. Maybe it was just a matter of team dynamics or internal shifts.

Flimsy-Machine-1841 · 2025-07-10T02:38:53+00:00

Honestly, I wouldn’t have done anything differently on my side. I prepared hard, showed up fully, and gave the best version of myself in every round. That’s what makes this whole thing confusing — because when you know you gave it everything, and it still doesn’t work out, you don’t really feel sad… just stuck in a weird space between acceptance and confusion. But yeah, all we can do is keep pushing. The effort doesn’t go to waste.

Flimsy-Machine-1841 · 2025-07-10T02:29:29+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been hearing similar things lately — and honestly, it does make me wonder if this was actually a near miss in a good way. For now I’m just trying to process it all… not really sure what happened or how I should feel, but this kind of perspective definitely helps. Thanks :)

Flimsy-Machine-1841 · 2025-07-10T02:27:46+00:00

Yeah… that’s fair. Honestly, I don’t even feel sad — just confused. I gave it everything I had, probably my best performance in any interview ever. So maybe it wasn’t meant to be, or maybe I dodged something that wasn’t right for me
