I have offers from Amazon, Capital One, MasterCard. Was supposed to get Google offer as well but got frozen, recruiter confirmed I passed HC after TM. Now although I have accepted Amazon without waiting for Google, I'm still worried if there'll be offer revoke or layoffs, as I'm on visa. On the other hand my current company is shit and don't want stay put for another year. Should I accept multiple offers just to be safe? Blind tax in username. Based in Germany.
Should be safe. I think all big tech is safe.
Hopefully. Given that market recovers in 1-2 years.
I think tech jobs will still be there,slower rate of course
Definitely more safe than Google, but I think people over estimate the safety. Consumer spending will decrease and companies will go out of business and use less cloud resources, so they will lose revenues too. That said, it’s not ad based like Google/Meta, or credit based like Capital One or MasterCard. Microsoft would probably be the safest of the MAMAA companies
Thanks. I thought Google was safer. But yes I see now Amazon has more diversified income stream. GCP isn't profitable yet like AWS.
Capital one is a fool. Amazon is a PIP factory.
If in Germany the first 6 months might be risky as you can be fired at will with 2 weeks notice but after that you’re pretty safe in all of those companies.
Isn't it same in other countries? They also have probation period right? Only shorter, perhaps 3 months.
I was more referring to the fact that it is pretty hard to get rid of Someone after the 6 months are over.
Amazon is never safe…
Not about PIP, was talking about layoff/revoke.
I mean if they’re PIPing people almost every other month, isn’t that like perpetual layoff? 🤔
Amazon has plenty of revenue streams. I feel they are pretty safe. Target core stuff if you can (retail site services, or AWS preferably).
I'm in prime video team.
Seeing as how they bought mgm recently, I think you're good.
What’s ur offer at Amazon? Hope not what username tells :)
~97K EUR TC, SDE 1, Berlin.
Good offer, well done.
As safe as regular times
Yoe?
Why not wait for Google offer if HC approved?
Google recruiter still didn't say anything. And AFAIK Google silently extended their offer. I don't see any reason to wait forever for Google. Besides I can get an offer from a year later too while in the meantime I can work at Amazon.
probably among the safest
I hope so. But can't get that thought out of my head. Given their high attrition it shouldn't be the case I hope.
also depends on the team you are in tbh. But overall I would consider Amazon among the safest along with Google and MSFT. FYI I have had a long tenure at Amazon.
