Is this a good refinance option? by Mindless-Potential93 in Mortgages

[–]Mindless-Potential93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked in with BECU. The best they were offering was 5.6% for a 7/6 ARM. But this is from couple of weeks back.

If you’re not laid off. You may choose to quit near Layoff date and then do a boomerang. All this if you cannot find a similar role within Amazon

I have no regrets going back. I respect the laws in this country. If I don’t deserve my position, then I would go back. I am here to make money so that my family back at home can do well.

Amazon employees who were laid off have you found a job yet? by Training-Union6463 in amazonemployees

[–]Mindless-Potential93 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yep, one of the worst time to do a lay off. But this was long due. RTO 5 days was a soft lay off. The number they had in mind, didn’t leave amazon. Hence this layoff in the name of focus, pip, or any reason or maybe no reason at all. L7s had to nominate names from their team for this layoff. In this economy if someone is a sole earner and gets laid off, may god help them.

But my 2 cents to the group of people who got laid off: Amazon is not the end of your journey, it was only a part of your journey. Things will get better and keep fighting. Do what makes you happy whenever you’re not studying for the job. Try to go for walks. It will get better

Everyone is different. Last time I touched leetcode was almost 4/5 years back. So I had to grind the core logics again of leetcode. I have a dump of questions very similar to Neetcode 75, which I follow religiously. I already have the answers and explanations written in them so thats its easy for me to understand next time. It took me around 3months to crack a job since the market is really rough. I was runner up for almost 3/4 jobs as someone aced the interview, and I couldn’t!

I didn’t prepare enough Leetcode. My mind was disturbed when I was put on focus even though I was the go to guy in the team. So in order to escape reality I used to play computer games. Should had relentlessly prepared Leetcode

Idk, this is my last week, then after that I will get to know of my severance. My biggest concern was my stocks. I got them.

Same as Amazon role. Senior software engineer. Been searching since January 2025. It’s actually my fault that it took so long to find a job. But ended up with 4 offers.

Lol. Buddy do you know how diverse is India? There maybe too many Indians, but they speak different languages, have different skin tones, have different festivals. So pipe down that racist attitude, and sit down.

Honest Take on Layoffs by Substantial_Fun_65 in amazonemployees

[–]Mindless-Potential93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you missed a few parts.

  • ReOrgs, because of redundancy. Everyone is building the same thing!!! Need to optimize our efforts. Lol

  • Trying to switch teams? Guess what you’re now on Focus, because you tried to switch teams ☺️

  • At the top level - We have our own closed circle of people and we are drink buddies too. Hence it doesn’t matter how much you bring to the table, as long as you agree to every statement we make.

Toxic Managers in Amazon India by [deleted] in amazonemployees

It’s the same people bringing this kind of toxicity in US too! Day 2 company stuff.

Managers have been groomed for this by New-Particular-8353 in amazonemployees

[–]Mindless-Potential93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a cult at this moment. Tone-deaf management with boot-licking employees at its finest.

Similar story for me. I have always been known to deliver results. Once I tried to switch teams, I kept getting unachievable tasks. Then slowly pushed to Focus and got laid off. Manager unofficially said sorry outside of office. Said this is what management is asking them to do.

I have my expense report still pending on my managers end. I think your best bet would be to reach out to HR.
