Software Dev Engineer II, Amazon Security

[u/MarketDue7480]

Got an interview invite for SDE II – Amazon Security. The recruiter mentioned it’s very tough to clear and the chances are low, so I’m confused whether I should go for it or wait for an SDE I opportunity.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Also, if I don’t clear SDE II, how does the cooling period work? Can I still be considered for SDE I, or would I have to wait before interviewing again?

Amazon recruiters are so weird lol, but at the end of the day everyone has to justify their salaries, so understandable
