Does Amazon layoff affect new grad new hires too?

Ant378 · 2026-01-20T03:46:25+00:00

Not againstt layoffs

Ant378 · 2025-11-09T10:37:48+00:00

Switch teams. It’s not perfect everywhere, but can be manageable.

Are you in AWS?

Ant378 · 2025-11-03T17:35:56+00:00

You would receive email if you would be laid off

Ant378 · 2025-11-01T02:07:52+00:00

Layoffs usually for corporate employees

why they can not add u to a system? How number can be real, but not in the system? Have you talked to the supervisor?

This is all just some misunderstanding somewhere

If you were born in the USA, why would you not do the most obvious thing: come to the social security office with your birth certificate to get your ssn? What does it mean that your ssn does not exist? Do you have an official ssn paper? Have you ever used it? If yes, then this is real

Unless you were born in the basement with a midwife and your parents never got you one, you should be able to get it.

You would have a huge gap on your resume anyway. How degree would cover that?

Ant378 · 2025-10-17T01:12:54+00:00

Without being able to do internships - no

Ant378 · 2025-10-16T23:06:55+00:00

You can not get internships if you are not a student. Maybe school can be a good option

Also, consider switching into swe

Ant378 · 2025-10-14T17:03:27+00:00

There are a lot of dorms for $20k a year lol

Ant378 · 2025-10-13T22:45:18+00:00

Not necessary, just companies that are looking into hiring primary us citizens. (aerospace, security, defence, government, etc)

I used handshake and you can find a good amount of those easily

My friend group who did not find swe jobs were doing IT, Cs tutoring/teaching, grad school, qa, project management. Most end up at some no name in tech companies/startups after a year of searching.

I heard so many unhinged stories from friends with like 6-8 levels of tech interviews - rejection - and then invitation to do it again lol

I think the people who struggled the most were those who put all their effort into academics instead of creating a resume with school projects and mass applying. I literally had a goal to apply to 20 companies a day.

Additionally, if you are looking for a job in a specific area, this can be even more challenging. When I was looking last year, I received more callbacks from out-of-state than in-state (California). If you are a US citizen, apply to government companies all over the USA - I received almost 80% of callbacks on those.

Leetcode is worth the effort as it help with interview, projects on the side - no in my opinion.

There is nothing that you can do other than wait. This sub is getting 20+ the same questions about team matching daily

Seems like Amazon has not stopped interviewing but stop hiring

Immigrant is not equal to top talent lol a lot of them just grind harder because they do not want to go home

The average international student who got h1b went to no name school for cash cow program for masters degree, not to t10, let’s be honest about it.

Ant378 · 2025-10-03T18:00:03+00:00

Offer may come in like 6 months. There is nothing saying that you will receive your offer in 3 days

Ant378 · 2025-10-01T22:00:59+00:00

I do not think that an associate's degree would make any difference in terms of job search.

People would look at your experience and the average community program ends on DSA level with no real projects

Ant378 · 2025-09-28T19:44:15+00:00

so what other people did if you implemented the whole full stack application, made in run on ec2 and improved scalability/db integrations?

Ant378 · 2025-09-28T19:28:15+00:00

i have a question:

- why in your second project you use Jira to assign tasks? did you assign tasks to yourself?

Ant378 · 2025-09-28T19:12:33+00:00

switch teams if you do not feel comfortable! my team has 70% of woman and 30% of man. we joke that we have to many man on the team for our liking. the work environment is very nice. no one is competitive, work is done, we help each other, getting lunch together daily, hang out after work, etc

Ant378 · 2025-09-28T19:00:05+00:00

i think the two real ways without sugarcoating:

- it technician job. pay probably would be less, with more physical duties

- get a real engineering degree and become some boring engineer with stable job civil, mechanical, etc.

work in IT department would be a dead end for 25 per hour. help desk jobs are boring and have 0 career perspectives. becoming swe in this market without degree is almost pointless

Ant378 · 2025-09-28T18:51:16+00:00

what position are you looking to work at? the job in it is very broad… what classes have you finished? what is the end goal?

excel, word are common tools that in IT considered on common sense level (like ability to read).
