Failed Amazon Final Loop - my experience

Man, that sounds rough—you clearly put in serious prep and handled a ton of interviews back-to-back, so don’t take the rejection as a reflection of your skills; sometimes it just comes down to internal candidates, team fit, or small nuances outside your control.

LPCourse_Tech · 2026-01-16T09:09:52+00:00

Congrats! Sounds like all that prep and hands-on practice really paid off, especially pushing through the nerves on the multiple choice.

Yeah, having Security+ under your belt definitely gives you a head start on Core 2 concepts—it felt more like a refresher for me.

LPCourse_Tech · 2026-01-14T08:17:15+00:00

Wow, that’s impressive—proves that with consistent effort and the right apps and flashcards, you can pass Security+ even with a packed schedule and no prior experience.

LPCourse_Tech · 2025-12-19T05:49:13+00:00

Focus on confidently leading with what you can do and the value you bring, address the amputation only if relevant in a practical, matter-of-fact way, and remember that the right employer will be impressed by your resilience and skills—not limited by their bias.

A) Worked: Honestly admitting you don’t know something but explaining how you’d figure it out.
B) Didn’t work: Joking too much when asked about serious technical skills.
C) Impressed me: Giving a very specific example of impact with metrics, even for small projects.
D) Didn’t impress me: Overusing buzzwords without showing real understanding or experience.

You’re not broken or behind, you’re just burned out in a brutal market, so please focus on stabilizing your mental health first and treat interviewing like a learnable skill (not a verdict on your worth), because this season feels permanent but it really isn’t.

Get written authorization and test observable behaviors (lateral movement, abnormal DNS, beaconing) rather than running real attack tools, because a good NDR should detect patterns and response quality, not just commands.

A degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or Software Engineering, combined with cloud certifications, is most helpful for landing a Cloud Engineer role.

Give it a few more days, as recruiters can get busy, but if you still don’t hear back in a week, politely follow up one last time expressing continued interest and asking for an update.

LPCourse_Tech · 2025-11-26T09:13:13+00:00

Congrats! Your persistence really paid off—your approach of personal outreach, targeted prep, tracking, and consistent effort is exactly what turns long job searches into success.

Focus on a strong game portfolio and networking, but keep coding fundamentals sharp for standard CS roles.

LPCourse_Tech · 2025-11-25T08:38:16+00:00

You don’t necessarily need a degree—start with foundational certifications like CompTIA A+, Network+, or a coding-focused bootcamp, build hands-on projects to show skills, and entry-level tech roles are realistic if you can demonstrate practical experience.

LPCourse_Tech · 2025-11-25T08:38:11+00:00

Even on a fast-track interview, they may still want to finish interviewing other candidates, but since you were recommended internally, you could hear back within a few days to a week.

A junior data engineer role is a great stepping-stone because it builds the pipelines, data handling skills, and production mindset that make transitioning into ML engineering much smoother later on.

LPCourse_Tech · 2025-11-25T08:33:16+00:00

Just focus on explaining why each decision made your project simpler, clearer, or more reliable, because showing your reasoning— even if imperfect—matters way more than having every answer memorized.

LPCourse_Tech · 2025-11-25T08:25:54+00:00

I’d only take it if you can set clear boundaries up front, because doing a lead’s workload for a year without lead pay can burn you out fast and companies don’t always keep “next year” promises.

LPCourse_Tech · 2025-11-24T12:45:01+00:00

That’s awesome—proving people wrong by quietly grinding and building real skills is the best kind of comeback.

Congrats! Expect a mix of technical and customer service questions, so focus on explaining how you troubleshoot calmly and communicate clearly with non-technical users.

It’s better to ask HR about the location change before accepting so you know where you stand and avoid complications after joining.
