>> here I am reading yet another email from an Amazon recruiter asking to talk to me about a possible opportunity. Will this horror never end? > This gets the biggest eyeroll I can possibly muster. I get why you're saying that, but as a totally average developer, I feel like I can corroborate this: Amazon recruiters email me _constantly_. I do not think I should be a target for them (I doubt I could pass their interview process), I think they're just desperate and take the shotgun approach to recruiting. >> This is a retelling of the two tedious months that Amazon put me through only to tell me that I can't code, which I now find funny, but at the time it was rather insulting and humiliating > Is this guy serious? He didn't meet the bar, but instead of working on the weak areas of his skillset, he's claiming he's was insulted and degraded. I do agree with you on this one, though. I read the story and for the most part thought that nothing they did was too bad. Yeah, they changed up some things, messed up some scheduling (they are human after all), but if you're being considered for a certain level and you don't perform at that level (for them) then what should they tell you? Saying they're "going in a different direction" or "opted for a more qualified candidate" doesn't really give you the feedback you want, does it? I want to know if I'm not performing at the level I think I am.
