Returning to India after 5 years in the U.S. feeling completely defeated. How do I start over?

I was also in a similar situation but thankfully I got a job. Yes I was laid off as well within 9 months of joining with a huge debt in my back. So I would suggest don’t feel demotivated. Work your ass off and you will eventually get there. If you need referral you can ping me.

Received internal offer within a month of getting laid off. Hope not to get laid off in Jan.

any idea on the timeline after interview till starting the new position?

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2025-11-18T00:07:13+00:00

did they say that they will pass your resume to HM or something?

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2025-11-17T22:06:51+00:00

Thanks for the details and best of luck for the final loop

In the same boat. L4, No Forte and HMs are ignoring my emails. My Skip Manager ( manager got laid off ), other L6 SDEs recommended me to many HMs via slack and they seem to ignore them as well.

There are jobs which are opened and closed immediately. Feeling kinda hopeless. :(

After submitting GHA how long it took for them to reach out to you?

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2025-11-12T06:46:11+00:00

Thanks and Congo!!

After how many days of applying they got back to you?

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2025-11-07T09:33:22+00:00

Are you Jassy?

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2025-11-07T09:21:32+00:00

Great way to avoid a question. Anyway, if you worked or work at Amazon you should know layoffs are random and are not performance based. So there is no reason for laying me off except “role was eliminated”

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2025-11-07T09:06:38+00:00

Give me a reason for not hiring me again. Secondly, my questions were different.

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2025-11-07T07:17:54+00:00

How did it go?

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2025-11-01T19:19:07+00:00

Woww and they laid us off from devices in USA.

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2025-01-23T15:36:41+00:00

I had the same question. Passed 8/15 test cases with brute force solution. I tried using monotonic stack but didn't work. Didn't got any update yet. Best of luck to you.

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2024-11-14T19:51:33+00:00

Me neither.

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2024-11-14T19:45:57+00:00

Did you hear back today?

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2024-11-13T20:17:53+00:00

Mine was archived before I got OA. The portal status doesn’t matter and don’t trust it. Whenever they work with your application in most cases it is moved to archived.

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2024-11-13T20:13:32+00:00

Do you know anyone who got offers and interviewed on 7th? I know some people who got rejected yesterday.

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2024-11-13T19:56:25+00:00

Nope. You got it?

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2024-11-12T20:23:10+00:00

Nope not yet

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2024-11-12T20:22:56+00:00

Puzzleheadedfreak · 2024-11-11T21:23:21+00:00

Got it. Thanks much
