A recent Google offeree here and no news from HR yet. I’m concerned by the layoff as the cost center/team I’m going to has, not a lot, but some let go. - With my start date approaching very soon, should I submit my notice to my current employer? (Not Amazon) - Any advice on managing the risk of offer rescission? TC: 200K Update: HR confirms the offer stands. While I’ll also keep in mind that things could change. #layoff #rescind #offer
Offer in December. Started beginning of Jan. Was laid off yesterday. Just cause you don't get your offer rescinded doesn't mean you're safe.
I'm sorry you have to go through this. I'm assuming you left Amazon for Google?
Correct. Left a very safe Amazon position after 5 years for Google.
Just started on Tuesday :( not laid off yet. The first week is extremely chill though, zero deliverables, all just set up. You can definitely wait to put in notice until very last minute if you wish
Is your current company doing lay offs?
Not likely. I am pursuing this offer bc I’m pivoting my career direction a bit too. With the market condition, it’s now or a while. Seeking thoughts to calculate the risk to take
In this market it is understandable to give 1 day notice. Do what’s right for you and don’t mess around with 2 weeks notice
Following
A week before layoffs was told to wait for the headcount.
Did you sign the offer? If they rescind it, it’d be a new low. But wouldn’t be surprising after the Friday announcement. Hope you got a plan B
I signed the offer. So far no info, my HR is waiting for the updates.
When is your start date?
How did you get update from HR? Any email address? .. the recruiter is laid off too
My HR survived, but your HM should also be reachable

Be 100% sure. Get a written confirmation from your recruiter that your offer still stands. Talk to the hiring manager and get a confirmation from them as well. Don’t be in a rush to put in your papers just yet. Also I would strongly suggest wait a week before putting in your papers. Next week is definitely going to be turmoil over here
Definitely. How likely would you say Google HM is gonna answer these questions from an offeree?
Yes, if they’re still there since I heard a lot of recruiters were also eliminated. But having said that there are still some key areas where the company will keep hiring.
