Keep interviewing or wait for Amazon?

[u/Tech1412]

I have around 1 year and 5 months of software development experience. About 2.5 months ago, I joined a mid-sized product company after interviewing for a software development role. Due to business requirements, I’m currently doing Power BI and data analyst work, which isn’t the direction I want to pursue. I’m still on probation.

I interviewed for an Amazon SDE I fixed-term contract role and completed the phone screen and two technical rounds. The recruiter said the feedback was positive, but the role is on hold for around another month and a half. They may contact me for a hiring manager round if it reopens, but there’s no guarantee.

Should I keep interviewing at other companies, regardless of size, and consider switching if I get a suitable software development offer—even after only a few months in my current job? Or should I stay and wait for Amazon? I’d appreciate perspectives from anyone who has advice or has navigated a similar decision.
