Amazon is already in NYC and Newark though!
- CydeWeys 8y agoNot with any serious engineering presence of note. I'm a SWE, so other positions don't affect me.
- akhilcacharya 8y agoThey do! Audible is headquartered in Newark, and there are lots of larger Ads, AWS, and Video orgs in the city too. This isn't internal information, you can look it up on the career page. https://www.amazon.jobs/en/search?offset=0&result_limit=10&sort=relevant&category=software-development&distanceType=Mi&radius=24km&latitude=40.71455&longitude=-74.00714&loc_group_id=&loc_query=New%20York%20City%2C%20New%20York%2C%20United%20States&base_query=&city=New%20York&country=USA®ion=New%20York&county=New%20York&query_options=& https://www.amazon.jobs/en/search?offset=0&result_limit=10&s...
- CydeWeys 8y agoFair enough, thanks for the info. I wonder if this change means they'll simply be expanding those existing offices more rather than (presumably) moving many of them into the new space?
- jhall1468 8y agoBasically NY will be treated like any satellite campus. It will grow, but slowly as it has for years. The big "deal" with this move was bringing 25k jobs to NY, which has 5k now. That isn't going to happen, at least nowhere near the timeline it was.
- schnevets 8y agoThe public is so muddled about what an effective job creator yields. They could move a small niche of AWS to Newark, restore some warehouse into office space, and claim they are adding a projected 10k jobs to the area.
