I can tell Amazon isn't banging down your door. Seriously, it's insane how no one at Amazon Recruiting talks to anyone else in Amazon Recruiting.

I’ve gotten two messages from internal Amazon Retail recruiters via LinkedIn about “exciting opportunities” over the past year.

My LinkedIn profile clearly shows I work at AWS…

I've started getting very firm with them. I respond to each email with "no thank you, also stop contacting me, also here's the last person I asked to stop contacting me, but who didn't." We'll see how long it works, if at all, but after 3 separate Amazon recruiters contacted me last month I was fed up.

Amazon is getting ridiculous. I get an email from them almost every day

Just wait till you get a cold text from them.

For me: Linkedin inmail->email->cold text within 3 minutes.

When I told the guy that was pretty unprofessional. His response "it's just text mate".

Escalated to jeff at amazon. That got his attention pretty quickly.

I still get recruiters trying to recruit me to amazon.
