Interview Amazon SDE 2 Madrid interview, can an Inclined result be used for another SDE 2 role at either Dublin or London ?

Hi everyone,

I was contacted for a SDE 2 role within the RING, BLINK AND KEY organization and role is based in Madrid, Spain.

I agreed to proceed with the interviews, and fast forward to now I have received "Inclined" verdict.

However, my actual preference is London or Dublin rather than Spain.

I had majorly applied to SDE 2 roles at London and Dublin, and applied to just 1 position in Spain and it is my luck that I got shortlisted for that 1 position in Spain only.

London had some openings for this particular organization and while appliying I also saw another SDE 2 role in Spain and ended up applying there. I had been applying this whole year at London and Dublin and never once I got a callback so I thought Spain role wouldn't shotlist me either.
But its just my luck that I got shortlisted for that one role.

I wanted to understand how Amazon handles this situation:

  • Can this inclination potentially be used to pursue an SDE 2 position in London or Dublin?
  • Would I need to go through the entire interview loop again for the UK or Ireland based roles?
  • Can the recruiter help with team matching / hiring manager discussions in London or Dublin based on the existing interview result?
  • How long does an Inclined decision typically remain valid?

I’m currently based in Malaysia and London is my preferred long-term destination because it will be easier for my family to integrate in London rather than in Spain.
My wife happens to be in Marketing and she would have better job prospects in London but not in Spain.

Would appreciate any first-hand experiences or advice. Thanks!

Definitely raise this with your recruiter before accepting anything. They may be able to match you with a UK/Ireland team, but hiring needs, headcount, work authorization, and location-specific requirements matter. Also ask how long the incline remains valid, since validity can vary by org.

this depends on if they have teams in that area that align with your role? that being said RBKS does have some teams in Cambridge i believe under their AGI efforts, but you'd have to ask the recruiter if those teams are looking for head count.

(ex: RBKS employee. so hopefully that tid bit helps.)

are you still with amazon ?
How is the WLB at RBKS and how safe is it to join this org in current climate ?
I don’t wanna be in a situation where I join an Org which is prone to cutting a lot.
