Received a ping from Amazon just after layoffs announced at Google. My team was impacted, and I am a bit nervous. Is it worthwhile to seriously look at making a change? (I happen to live close to physical offices for both companies and I don't mind going into the office)
Sec org is good if you stay away from appsec type work
Thanks for the heads up, curious about your appsec comment though.
Amazon Pip factory is not worth to join!
I mean, at least there's some predefined criteria in a pip or stack ranking. The layoffs at Google are fkn random.
AWS Security is pretty okay, just stay away from Vendor Security
@laurenbez curious on Why Vendor Security is bad?
When you say vendor security, are you supporting vendors on AWS?
Why would you move to THE pip factory for security?? There are much better places Move there if you want to work hard as hell, stab your teammates in the back, and make some money
I'm mostly interested in companies that have significant scale. And it should still be possible to boomerang back if needed, as infrastructure security folks are generally harder to find than SWEs.
My bad I’m dyslexic and thought you meant job security rather than security org
