Amazon Layoffs

I was laid off yesterday.

My leader said: “This has nothing to do with your performance. This decision was not made lightly.”

Yet its so hard to think it’s not based on my performance. They kept people who had less tenure and experience than me (but paid the same)

I asked 100x over my course of tenure there to give me more exposure, to include me in more meetings, to give me more context. From the start, I felt left out. I was set up to fail and not given the opportunity to grow. They often took credit for the things that I BUILT.

Live and learn I guess.

Advice on Job Hopping to Amazon During Layoffs - Early Career

I am supposed to join Amazon Canada as an L4 SWE next week but I can't make up my mind on whether to go through with it due to fear of layoffs. The org I'm joining is under retail. I was originally supposed to join earlier but my offer was delayed and my current job is asking me to reconsider the switch.

I'm currently working a software job where I make around 65% of what I'd make at Amazon. After I gave my 2 weeks notice, they've still tried to convince me to reconsider staying. I've been here for 8 months and my issue is that compared to the amount of new skills and development I had when interning at Amazon and Coinbase, I have not learnt much at all. There is no visible engineering culture here and it's not comparable at all to the bigger tech companies. A lot of the tech for the product I work on is also very old (PHP) and we are encouraged to follow the same old patterns in the codebase. I've communicated this to my manager and he's given me assurances that I'll get to work with other technologies later this year but I don't know about that. The only pro of this place is that it's a very stable job that will be stable for the next few years.

I really enjoyed working at Amazon and like the team I'm going back to but I'm worried that given I'm so early in my career layoffs could have a huge impact on me. There have been some new grads who got laid off last year at Amazon within a couple of months of starting. I also graduated late from university due to personal issues which means I'm already a few years late into starting my career. Aside from the chance of layoffs I'm very confident in my ability to do well at Amazon.

I know it's impossible to predict the future but what should I consider to help myself make this decision?

And I'm already 5 months on the job hunt for a competitive offer with FAANG experience (3 YOE), but I guess it won't get easier in 2024...

Layoffs seem to become the new normal for tech companies, to trim unprofitable/non-core projects while startups also use it to extend their runway in times of less VC flying around.

It's not enough anymore to work at a (highly) profitable company - you need to work on a strategic/profitable project, too.

Edit: Discord started layoffs today, too 😭😭
