Has anyone ever worked for a Fintech start-up? What is it like? I was offered a role but I’m worried about quitting my job for a start-up but I also don’t want to throw away a great opportunity.

What it's like is very much dependent on the values and philosophy held by the people who created the company, so you'd have to look a bit more into that to really know what to expect. What's the role you were offered? Do you find anything about it enticing? Sometimes it's worth taking a risk

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
