I have L6 SDE offer from Amazon and joining date is end of November. I was safe from recent layoff in Meta ( fortunately/unfortunately). Wondering if it will be safe to join Amazon during these times? The team is core AWS team. PS: My motivation to join Amazon is to pave my path to move back to India early next year. TC: 405k
Amazon is also cutting cost. But they won’t cut the cash cow too much With that said, if you think you can escape the stack rating, you can join AWS.
I have worked in AWS before , for around 4 years. Should be okay with stack ranking i guess
Depends on the org if its a core services you can
Out of the frying pan and into the fire
I worked in Amazon for 5 years now. Only saw 1 person got pipped. They def deserve to get pipped. Is the pip culture really that bad?
been at Amazon since March 2020, have not seen yet someone get pipped
You might not know who got pipped . No one will tell if they got pipped .
Can someone comment upon from the prospective of potential layoffs? I think PIP is under my control ( i can rub my ass off to perform well) , i am mostly worried about the potential layoff that might not be under my control
Depend on org. I personally believe aws is safe. We do have hiring freeze but no talk of laying off yet.
market just turned around, guidi up and join to kick in these fictitiously low stock prices
Unfortunately my offer letter had stock count fixed instead of dollar amount. i still need to join at higher stock price
tell them to re-evaluate offer based on current new stock value
Same situation, confirmed with recruiter and offer is still valid. I'm planning to join AWS end of November.
Which org?
Yeah it's solid. And the cash heavy tc for the first two years is gonna be great.
Also joining aws first week of Dec. Hope the offer stays. That’s what I’m slightly worried about
Which team / org?
The PIP you know is better than the PIP you don’t 😦
