- bagacrap 4y agoIt's not stated whether the roles are engineering ones or PMs.
- Ankhers 4y agoNot necessarily. A lot of people other than engineers work in AWS, ad tech and twitch.
- mrleinad 4y agoI don't think layoffs would be a problem in itself. Most likely smaller companies would benefit from the surge in offer and capture those talents. The problem there is that smaller companies are suffering a capital shortage due to the raise of interest rates at the same time, so they have less resources available to capture said talents.

- roflyear 4y agoThere are a ton of non-engineering roles at those divisions ...
- eysquared 4y agoAWS has a ton of non-engineering staff. Ad-tech is also sales, marketing, and IMDb. Twitch has a ton on marketing and creator management roles. Its not clear which roles will be eliminated, but I've worked in a few of those groups and I can assure you there is plenty of fat to be trimmed outside of engineering.
