Im sorry to hear that!

Next job I hope you make more money, have better WLB, and more PTO!

Not gonna lie – WLB and PTO were great. But more money will always be welcomed.

Way to own it. Many times people take it as a mark of shame. It happens to everyone eventually.

Sorry to hear, let me know if you need referrals

Which agency?

That would be correct

Eeesh. Sorry OP.

I'm laughing but of course I'm sorry!
I was laid off late July and already have a better job with better pay and more senior title + defined growth path.
Best thing to ever happen (career wise) to me!
Onward and upward!

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Advice needed. I’m leaving an incredibly toxic work environment (admin, students, parents, etc) for my dream job. I already resigned, but my students don’t know yet. I knew if I told them, their behavior would be even worse. How would you explain to the kids you’re leaving? I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.
