Amazon announced a corporate-level hiring freeze just today, FYI.
- X-Istence 4y agoSomeone should tell the two recruiters in my inbox...
- karmasimida 4y agoRecruiters are actually slow in this development, because it happens last night after 8 PM PST. Effectively no offer would be able to generate through the system. I would say the Amazon spam will go away for next 6 months if not longer.
- DeathArrow 4y agoFunny, I did my first interview with them a week ago.
- inkeddeveloper 4y agoYou and I have different definitions of funny.
- DeathArrow 4y agoI am not a native English speaker. Here I used funny as a synonim for strange, which is probably a mistake due to me extracting most of my English knowledge from Hollywood films.
- larusso 4y agoFor a moment I thought you outed yourself as German, because a sentence like: “Komisch, ich hatte ein Interview mit ihnen letzte Woche.” works just fine. But we German’s have no sense of humor so I’ve heard. Also an explanation.
- DeathArrow 4y ago>But we German’s have no sense of humor so I’ve heard. That's how Germans are perceived but having met Germans I know that's totally not the case.
- Grazester 4y agoYour use of funny was appropriate here.
- dasil003 4y agoYour use of sarcasm is spot on though
- okaram 4y agoMeh ... From their announcement: we will hire backfills to replace employees who move on to new opportunities, and there are some targeted places where we will continue to hire people incrementally
- ketzo 4y agoYeah, I don’t think it’s doom and gloom. But I also don’t think it’s prudent to say “don’t worry about that layoff, you’ll get a new BigTech job tomorrow!” Times are weird.
- hef19898 4y agoAs long as Amazon isn't stopping the usual Q4 hiring spikes in operations, Amazon should overall be fine.
